Italy lost their 3rd Olympic final in Rio. Azzurri got defeated by Brazil, so they will have to wait four more years to have another chance to win the gold.
Still, Italian setter Simone Giannelli wants to stay positive…
“I am really sorry, because we wanted to give the Italian people the very first Olympic gold. We had a chance, but unfortunately Brazil were better in key moments and they deserved to win. I want to stay positive despite the defeat and I can say that in the coming years I will try everything to bring the Olympic gold to Italy. This is a promise.”

He’s only 20 years old, he’ll surely give Italy the gold one day. He has at least 4 chances to try if everything goes as planned.
@SynLerak in 4years time he is much better and much experienced setter he is italy wonder boy
@dee jae69 hopefully by then not the only one. A team with only one hypertalent is still not a team to win olympic gold with.
