The possibility of competing at the Olympics is undoubtedly linked to the positivity of Roberta Caputo, who gave her a route to Rio. This achievement, however, also repays all of the sacrifices and efforts that the young Roman has always made: from her studies in Business Economics, which she carried on in her spare time, to her training sessions divided between the sea and the gym, always with the unfailing support of her parents. In fact, it was her own father who first led her to the water and, after a sailing course she took as a youngster, the national team member developed her love for this sport where she can challenge both her fears and herself. Now it is her opponents that she is ready to challenge in the waters of Copacabana.
