After 283 international matches with the Italian National Team, the 35-year-old Neapolitan today hung up her shoes (actually threw them to the crowd together with her kneepads) at the Maracanazinho, as Italy’s Rio 2016 adventure came to an end with a straight set win over Puerto Rico that regardless saw them finish 9th in the overall rankings and bow out of the tournament.
“I feel it is the right time to go after taking part in the Olympic Games,” she said as she passed through a mixed zone for the last time after the game with the Caribbean side.
“I am happy about my career and had very good moments and others not so good. I can’t really pick specific moments. I have so many good memories that it is impossible for me to choose one as the biggest thrill of my career,” said Del Core summing up her career.
