I was happy that their efforts paid off. It was certainly not possible for all of us to achieve as much as we would have liked, but even from mediocre performances, we learn from our mistakes and build stronger within ourselves for the next challenge!
In (7) weeks the European Junior Women's Championship in Belgrade, I wish good strength to Filippo and to reach as high as he wants!
