03:38 While we were parading away we risked ending up in the water, too bad because the inertia was on our side, the luck is not on our side today.

03:36 Nothing to do for the Azzurri who finish in fifth place, huge disappointment. Holland wins, Great Britain silver and Poland bronze.

02:45 It is time for the 2nd pair award ceremony, we remember: Romania gold, New Zealand silver, Holland bronze.

02:42 A bad blow for the blue team, which is shuffling the cards, however we remember that Di Costanzo was part of the 4 without until a few months ago. Marco will be replaced in turn by Vincenzo Abbagnale in 2 without.

02:40 ATTENTION! The news arrives of the positivity at Covid for Bruno Rosetti, the blue had to be engaged in 4 without in a few minutes, Marco di Costanzo enters his place!
