Fausto Desalu’s mother, fresh from gold in Tokyo 2020 in the 400X100 meters relay, last night was unable to participate in “The circle of rings” because she was working as a caregiver. This was explained by the host of the Rai program, Alessandra De Stefano, who said that Desalu’s mother was unable to connect because she was working. «She is a caregiver and at night she takes care of an elderly person. She raised her son alone, after coming from Nigeria to Italy. And he always said to her: “Mom, don’t worry. One day I will become someone ”» said De Stefano.
The Italian sprinter, born Eseosa Fostine, just yesterday raced in third position, before handing over the baton to Filippo Tortu, in a 4X100 destined to remain in the history of Italian athletics, and beyond.
