The choice of betting on this 28-year-old from Varese for the Rio Olympics came from the Federation, who wanted to reward her for the constant positive results gained over the other Italian candidate Genny Pagliaro. This is a choice which will repay Giorgia for the good results obtained at an international level, with a bronze medal in Tbilisi in 2015 and another won last April in Norway, in the 63kg category as always. She repeated the performance she gave during the continental championship, almost winning the gold medal but eventually slipping into third place because of a weight difference, she is the Italian hopeful in this category. Italy bets on her and this responsibility doesn't seem to be too heavy for her.
