Three victories obtained by the twenty-two year old Neapolitan athlete who, after winning with the Hungarian Brigitta Varga, was defeated in the quarters by the German Sappho Coban, who then won the race, but in the recoveries she clearly imposed herself on the Danish Helene Christensen first and on the French Agathe Devitry then.

“Today was a long day for me,” he said Nadia Simeoli– but, even if with bitterness, I come out quite satisfied. I am happy to have found positive feelings and to be back on the podium, which I have been missing for a while. I take this opportunity to thank those who were close to me today, even with a few simple words and gestures. Now I enjoy this medal and from Monday we start working again ”.

“Excellent performance of Nadia – added the Covid manager Gianni Maman who made himself available to follow the Simeoli race – which after a very convincing start in the first match, had to surrender to the strangling of the German Coban. Recovery and final with two clear victories, without any uncertainty, for a well-deserved bronze ”.
