A few months ago both Zanni and his training team were infected by Covid: “Fortunately, it did not leave any consequences – recalled Marcuz – even if for those who have the Olympics in their sights, and have already seen the goal shifted by a year, it’s a big headache “
PORDENONE. It’s a big party in the Pordenone weightlifting center, the gym where it started Mirko Zanni, for the Olympic bronze conquered. Parents, training companions and friends met at 1 pm in the gym in via Fratelli Rosselli to watch the final on television: when Mirko raised the decisive barbell there was a real ovation with scenes of jubilation.
“A bronze that is anything but unexpected has arrived in Tokyo, but in Paris, in three years, we will see some good ones”: These are the words with which Dino Marcuz, the historical master of Mirko Zanni, commented on the bronze obtained by his young man student.
Ā«He will move up in the category and take away even greater satisfactions – is the coach’s thesis -. When we spoke after the race, I addressed him with the usual appellation: slacker. I’ve always called him that because I want to encourage him to do even more. In reality it is the exact opposite: an athlete who never gives up, who always trains, devoted to the mission Ā».

Finally, Marcuz reiterated the concept: “Today’s is a starting point: with the new category and its self-denial, it will be possible to take away even greater satisfactions, both in terms of medals and record lifts”. For Marcuz it is the fourth time that he brings an athlete to the Olympics: Lauzana, Mancino and twice Boer.
