Milan, 12 February (LaPresse) – ‘Repeating my Olympic title is a dream,’ said Francesca Lollobrigida upon arriving in the mixed zone after winning her second gold medal at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in the 5,000-metre speed skating event. "I feel great right now. It was important for me because last year I won the world title at this distance. Today I wanted to be smarter, I talked to my coaches, because in the 3,000 metres you always go faster. In the 5,000 metres, you have to be a little smarter. I knew I was skating (almost) alone because I spoke to Martina Sablikova and she wasn't feeling well. It was a race against time, but also against myself. I knew I was in the lead, but I also knew I had to be faster in the last three laps. My plan worked," added the Roman champion.
