OLIMPIADI TOKYO 2020<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Ciao a tutti!<\/em><\/p>\n

Tutto il mondo guarda i migliori atleti di oltre 200 nazioni che competono l\u2019uno contro l\u2019altro<\/em>. (The whole world is watching the best athletes from over 200 nations compete against each other.) Ecco gli olimpiadi Tokyo 2020! <\/em>(Here are the Tokyo 2020 Olympics!)<\/p>\n

Are you watching Italy (or the ‘blues’, gli azzurri<\/em>) closely during the Olympic games in Japan?<\/p>\n

As of this blog, le medaglie azzurre sono 19: 2 oro, 7 argenti, e 10 bronzi. <\/em>(The ‘blue1<\/a><\/sup>referring to the national team of Italy<\/span>‘ medals are 19: 2 gold, 7 silver, and 10 bronze.)<\/p>\n

One of the bronze medals was won by 19 year old Federico Burdisso nei 200 farfalla: il nuoto. <\/em>(200 meter butterfly: swimming) Speaking to reporters, he talked about his academic career (he’s a student of Math, Science, and Economics at Northwestern University) and his future in the Olympics:<\/p>\n

“Potrei pensare a una carriera accademica, ma prima voglio concentrarmi solo sul nuoto e capire cosa posso fare alle prossime Olimpiadi”.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

On the women’s side of swimming Italy is saying goodbye to a long term Olympic champion, Federica Pellegrini. She is the first female Olympic champion in the history of Italian swimming and the only Italian swimmer to have set world records in more than one event.<\/p>\n

At the\u00a02020 Summer Olympics\u00a0in Tokyo, she qualified for the final of the\u00a0200m\u00a0freestyle. This made her the second swimmer in history (after\u00a0Michael Phelps) to qualify for the final of the same event five times. She finished in 7th place.<\/p>\n

Le emozioni di Federica Pellegrini che chiude la sua carriera<\/em>… the emotions of Federica Pellegrini who is ending her career:<\/p>\n
