It is destiny that the 4 without blue has to deal with important last-minute defections: in Tokyo it was Bruno Rosetti who got off the boat on the morning of the final due to positivity at Covid, replaced by Marco Di Costanzo; at the Di Costanzo Sport Festival, feverish, he gives way to an exceptional guest, Massimiliano Rosolino, who is certainly a refined connoisseur of the Olympics and has been dedicating himself to rowing for a few months.

The great feat of the blue quartet, a bronze medal won despite the balance changed three hours before the final, is obviously the common thread of the evening. Bruno Rosetti, despite himself the protagonist of the dramatic adventure, is still waiting for the medal that the IOC has nevertheless recognized him but he cannot forget: “It is a burden that I still carry inside and I do not know if I will be able to start over to think about Paris: I would preferred to finish fourth rather than play the final ”. Giuseppe Vicino, the capovoga, is still harboring regret now: “We were good at resetting everything in a short time, but the bronze is the minimum. As we were in condition, we would have won gold. This is why you will see me again in Paris: I want to take my due ”. Matteo Castaldo, the veteran of the group with his 36 years will start to train again: “I think a day like that can happen once in a lifetime, I remember clearly the 30” before the start in which I managed to chase away the negativity and to transform it into energy “. The other Matteo, Lodo, ​​remembers the eve: “The day before the boat was spinning like a wonder and when we got off Bruno told me:“ Tomorrow I wouldn’t want to be my opponent ”. I too want the ransom in Paris. ” Closing with a smile from Rosolino: “From this adventure they will come out stronger: but beware, I too am applying for Paris for the 5th without!”
