A star in both road and track racing, she has been a fundamental member of the Italian national team in track pursuit ever since she was in the junior category. The 23-year-old from Gorizia has already collected a number of national and international podiums (amongst which there is a world bronze and a European bronze in team pursuit, and a third place in the European individual pursuit). Before cycling, she practiced track and field sports, figure roller skating, martial arts, tennis, horse riding and swimming, but in Rio she’s ready to pedal.
