CORTINA (ITALPRESS) – Here comes the second Olympic medal in career in the double blend of curling for Amos Mosaner and Stefania Constantini. Champions four years ago in Beijing and beaten yesterday in the semi-finals from the United States, the two blues console themselves with bronze passing in the final for third place Britain for 5-3. It is the number 11 medal for Italy at the Winter Games in Milan-Cortina. For the tricolor tandem also a small revenge on Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat, against which they lost 9-6 during the round robin last Sunday.
“I first dedicate this medal to my family, my girlfriend and my girlfriend’s mom who unfortunately missed last year. He was trying so hard to be here, and then I would like to dedicate it to my trainer Andrea Cardona who has been close to me in recent years, has made me face these things in a carefree manner, it was a difficult period, especially the last six months, and I have to say thanks to him, he kept me with the high head, he made me arrive here performing and ready and was not easy. I wish everyone to find someone like him.” Amos Mosaner does not hold tears after the Olympic bronze conquered with Stefania Constantini at the Winter Games of Milan-Cortina. “We are not best friends but we have a very friendly relationship. Clearly we can’t spend together every day, we play with different teams, we are often abroad but the relationship with Stefania is very friendly. We’re professional and have fun together. She is a very determined girl, she has great qualities.” Amos Mosaner said this about his relationship with Stefania Constantini by clarifying some statements released in recent days. “A fault of his? It’s too slow in pulling but eventually does the right shots and it’s fine,” he adds with a smile.
“At the end of the week, Angela Romei, my teammate and my best friend, shared this Olympic experience next week. So it will not be, but I will take her to my heart with me, she is supportive and it was nice to have her there, to look at me from above: this victory, besides my boy and my family, goes to her”. It’s Stefania Constantini’s dedication. Angela Romei was at the center of a real case, with so much recourse to the Tas then rejected, for its exclusion from the female Olympic national curling for the benefit of Rebecca Mariani, daughter of the technical director Marco. On the possibility to continue with Mosaner, he adds: “In our sport we have four-year objectives in four years, we have finished this four-year period very well, we are happy, but now it is not yet time to set the next goals. From tomorrow a new competition begins, at the end of the season we will definitely have a moment to gather and understand how to proceed for the following seasons”.
ABODI “CONSTANTINI-MOSANER, BRONZO CONQUISTATO CON CUORE E GRINTA”
“ Eleven is really a great number and there is still a lot of road to go. A bronze desired and conquered with heart and grit by Stefania Costantini and Amos Mosaner in the double blend of curling. Unbelievable to see the stone throw with apparent simplicity, a light but so precise, firm and effective movement that reflects the determination to reach that “house” on the ice. The harmony and harmony of Stefania and Amos will be an inspiration for many young Italians who want to discover the pleasure of curling. The government will do its part to make and improve ice plants.” The Minister for Sport and Youth Andrea Abodi said so.
