FORTUNA means “luck” in Italian, while INFORTUNIO means “injury.

Funny how joy and pain can lie so close together... not just linguistically. Congratulations to everyone who delivered a strong performance ... ещё

I could say that I’m simply grateful to have made it to the start line of a European Championship given my background, but that wouldn’t honestly reflect how I feel inside. I am absolutely devastated by what happened in the streets of Birmingham yesterday.

I know that I was given a spot because our federation’s B standard was relatively low. That’s exactly why I invested so much time, energy and money into my preparation. I wanted to prove that I was capable of achieving the A standard set by European Athletics.

This season has not been an easy one for me. I had to walk 2 marathons within 6 weeks to qualify and because of my very low training volume as well as my health and professional situation, I don’t recover quickly or well from these races. Still, I managed to get myself back on track toward the end of the season and felt ready to put together a fast race.

Around 26 km, I started to feel some muscular discomfort in my hamstring. I backed off the pace a little, even though I still felt very comfortable from a cardiovascular standpoint. Then, around 32 km, I felt a sudden, sharp snap while walking downhill that brought me to the ground. What I know for sure is that I injured my hamstring and that my offseason is now going to be much longer than I had planned.

I’m incredibly disappointed with the way things ended. I didn’t have many fans there in person, but I knew that some people back home were watching and cheering me on and that they knew exactly what I was hoping to accomplish. I hope your disappointment isn’t as great as mine.

From 2 km to 42 km 🥹 What a journey from 2006 to 2026. 🫶🏻 

The distances got longer, the legs got stronger, but the wardrobe evolution? Questionable. 😅

Goodbye, July 🤍 Birthday month well spent. 3 weeks in the mountains, 10 days with a cold (not exactly part of the plan), but I made the best of it. Grateful for every moment, the highs, the slow days and everything in between. ⛰️✨
