Swimming: Quadarella gets 800 FS gold at worlds
(ANSA) – ROME, FEB 17 – Italy’s Simona Quadarella got the gold medal in the 800 metres freestyle at the world championships in Doha on Saturday. It is her second gold medal in the current worlds after she won the 1500 freestyle on Tuesday, qualifying for the Paris Olympics later this year, and a record double gold for Italy. “It was one of the most tiring races I have ever done but I am really happy,” the 25-year-old from Rome told Rai sport after Saturday’s victory. “After the gold in the 1500, this is a wonderful world championship. Now I can work calmly for the Olympics and I really am very stimulated”. Quadarella also said she was “proud” to be only the second Italian to have won the 800 freestyle, 51 years after Novella Calligaris. “I thought I wouldn’t make it because the others started off really strongly, but also thanks to experience I managed to achieve this great result,” she added.
