Rome, Sept 17 (LaPresse) – *“I still can’t believe it, what happened tonight feels like magic.” These were the words of Mattia Furlani to RaiSport after winning the gold medal in the long jump at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. “We managed the competition perfectly,” he added, “we believed in it until the very last jump, which gave us this incredible result.”
“With my voice trembling, I say that until two years ago this was only a dream. We’ve worked so hard, I’ve had the honor of an amazing team, and I was able to repay them in the best possible way.” Furlani described the moment as a “magical, dreamlike evening” and spoke of a “bright future—we just need to stay healthy and keep working step by step.”*
