Morning of August 12, 2017.
It rings Patrizio Parcesepe's mobile phone, who jokes with the interlocutor for more than a year ago.
How are you ? Nervous ? Gastroenteritis?
None of this, but a little tension is perceived.
Antonella is fine, but the others will be the same.
Antonella walks as a manual, but the other ones will walk within the rules limits
Dear Patrick, then it is all about you and you have the responsibility of returning from London, however, having avoided the "zero tituli".
But you Patrick would signe for a bronze?
I would signe everything, but I point to the top.
It's wrong with the "consecutio temporum" Patrick. That was what you meant: "I would like to win, but how they could put things would signe for a medal."
That was it!
You know Patrick's race of women will be a five or six fight: Lyu, the other Chinese, Lupita, Erica and Antonella. Perhaps another South American if the case in the middle.
We have to deal with these South Americans: they are growing for decades, while we do not.
What scares us is that we are sharing us instead of joining us.
What's even worse is that we are used to screaming at the scandal when a red paddle rises in front of our home athlete, while we are not worried about the continuous dripping of the red cards on the posting board.
You are right.
Or do not worry if we are not our athletes, while we do fire and flame if by accident they touch us personally.
We should understand that in the end this goes to undermine the basics of the technical gesture, which has always been done with so much fluidity and a little less force.
Is that of Antonella the fluency you are talking about ?
That's right Patrick.
In fact, you are right, although I worry about others today.
But you have to do it today, you have to drive well today, Antonella in his race, otherwise who will save us from the "zero tituli"?
I went up, meanwhile we got to get a medal. How did Trapattoni say with the cat ?
Patrick I will see you tomorrow put the cat in the bag !
Well we'll see!
Remember Patrick, do not sign for silver and bronze, never sign !
Absolutely no, I will not sign.
Thirty hours later more or less:
Race walk in Italy is not an extinct sport, it suffers a lot, but when everything collapses it resists and lives. We are still here with a medal in the neck!
By the way Patrick: you will not have signed it yet, right ?
If you happen to remind someone that almost 36% of the world medal hits comes from "Santa Marcia" please do it.
No no, that's exactly what it is!
I did not think about it, but you are right: it is true.
Hi Patrick and thank you for everything.
Hallo my dear.
