MILAN (ITALPRESS) – The first individual final of Arianna Fontana during the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics ends with another historic medal. In the framework of the Forum, tinto d’arancione e d’azzurro for the two great favourites of 500 meters, the blue legend conquers the silver medal. Fontana, accomplice a contact in the first attempt of departure and the tension that was achieved, worsens the time of the semi-final, but is second.
Our colour holder thus definitively enters the history of the Olympics, equating the 13 medals (extive) by Edoardo Mangiarotti and becoming (alike) the most successful Italian ever in the Games. Dutch gold Xandra Velzeboer (41.609), silver Fontana (42.294) and bronze to Canadian Sarault (42.427). The blue medals rise to 17th.
