Stefy Constantini lands in Malpensa with gold, the hug with her boyfriend

His success in mixed curling with Amos Mosaner at the Beijing Olympics thrilled Italy and gave attention to a sport that has only a few hundred members.

MALPENSA. “I wasn’t really expecting it, I wasn’t expecting all this support and it was wonderful. Already living the Olympics is a dream, seeing the whole of Italy that supports you is crazy. I think it is an important thing for Italian curling, I hope that our movement can grow more and more and therefore reduce to a minimum the training sessions in one or two and make them become more and more numerous “: Stefania Constantini says excited and smiling, landed at Malpensa with a historic gold medal around his neck. Her success in mixed curling with Amos Mosaner at the Beijing Olympics thrilled Italy and gave attention to a sport that has only a few hundred members.

«After finishing the round robin unbeaten, nine games and nine wins, we really looked at each other and we said ‘here is the time to change the goal. Initially we wanted to reach the semifinals but given the great work we have done, it seemed right we have to climb to the top and get what we deserve and so we did ».

And now everything will change in Constantini’s life: «I would wake up early in the morning to train dry, then go to work and return in the evening to train. Instead now thanks to Fiamme Oro I have this new opportunity to make my passion my job and it’s fantastic. They took an interest in our sport even before all of this. It is wonderful because now I have been able to give something back, they have given me this great opportunity and I am happy to have brought this gold also for this sporting group ».

Her boyfriend Domenico and a group of dear friends were also waiting for Stefy at the airport. For her, a red rose, a teddy bear and the “Make you shiver” banner.
