Federica Pellegrini’s Gold is a declaration of love

This time Federica has chosen the right moment. She is no longer the little girl in love who gets caught by her ex-boyfriend who left her two days before her, in the room with the new one. Federico Pellegrini now she is a married woman, but above all a former athlete who knew how to choose the right moment to get out of the water and dive into life. For an athlete, with or without an apostrophe, the farewell step is always complicated. Seizing the moment is never taken for granted. Sports history is filled with people who retire two or three times in their careers and then quit when they are a shadow of their former self. Federica closed when she was still at the top, filling her later with a thousand things. THEMarriage to Matteo, TV programs, commercials and now also “an introspective autobiography” as she says, in which she talks about herself without filters. From love quarrels to those with the Federation. From crying over a lost medal to the tiring relationship with food that led her to fight and win the challenge with bulimia. And of course the joys, which were many.
