“Giorgio took the blow, let’s not hide it. I just hope they understand what happened, what perhaps the whole world would have expected, a little more courage. We should have believed in him more, believed in him more, that with 4 months of work the group would have done a fantastic job and we could have had the chance to compete for a ‘special’ Olympic medal with a man in the team. So we needed to be more courageous. I was the champion of Italy, Europe and of the world I would have brought him into the team. I would have liked it, for our entire environment.” So a LaPresse Susanna De Angelissynchro coach of the Swiss youth national team and mother of Giorgio Minisini, comments on the exclusion from the Paris 2024 Games due to the technical choice of dt Patrizia Giallombardo.
Minisini, the champion excluded from the Games: “I will miss a piece, but I won’t stop because of this”

“Giorgio received messages from many people. Many kids started with him. They went to the swimming pool to meet him. All the mothers wrote to me and I felt the deep disappointment in them. When he won the World Championship everyone started to believe in it. And yes Does it break all this? I know that I am speaking as a mother. And as a mother I have seen Giorgio fight against many things. The loss of his father, the depression he fought with, putting himself on the line, talking about it and showing himself. As a mother I wanted that he felt like he was completing a journey. Then maybe he gets to the Brisbane Games. But how great would it have been to see him and the American athlete Bill May who are the men’s synchro, compete in Paris? It would have been a dream. The two icons, the two athletes who transformed men’s synchro, the two ambassadors. There should have been both,” he added.
