The irony on Instagram after the surprise test: “And that you don’t want to do a good anti-doping as soon as you arrive?”. The precedent of Rio 2016. Then post more photos of the Village

From anti-doping to cardboard beds to plexiglass that divides it into the canteen from his coach Matteo Giunta. Federica Pellegrini is recording her first hours at the Tokyo Olympics on social media.

To be controlled, it is controlled. Maybe too much. But Federica Pellegrini has now made the callus on the surprise doping tests. So she was not too surprised when, shortly after disembarking in Tokyo, the person in charge of Wada found herself to carry out the sample.

Il Corriere has created a special with athletes and athletes, calendar, medals, stories and results in real time: watch the special Olympic Games


Our champion took it with philosophy
and on the Instagram profile, in announcing the umpteenth verification, he did not fail to focus on irony: «And that you don’t want to do a good anti-doping as soon as you arrive?», he wrote. It is a story already seen. On approach to Rio 2016, she was pinched a second time a week after a previous checkup. And she tweeted: “Here we go again: even this morning, super punctual!”

Going to more recent times, he hadn’t even escaped it last May, after the conclusion of the European Championships in Budapest in which she was again the protagonist with a silver in the 200 and with two bronzes in the relays. Back home, she had received the fateful “visit”: and she had decided to post the photo in a “story” published on her Instagram account, followed by 1.3 million fans. The photo reserved for the fans was that of his arm after the puncture. The dida was: “And what am I going to tell you to do?”. In short, Federica does not escape the routine of surprise tests which is reserved for the most successful athletes: as long as it does not become a sort of fury, there is that it may be so because this is the downside of the glory medal.

In another story on Instagram Federica then showed the famous plexiglass of the village canteens: she and her coach Matteo Giunta have lunch facing each other divided by the plastic wall: here too the comment is witty: “At the post office with Matteo Giunta”.

The photo of one of the protagonists of these Games could not be missing: the famous cardboard bed destined to the athletes at the Olympic Village. An ecological choice, which someone had thought showed the organizers’ willingness to dissuade intimate relationships (the beds, according to this thesis, would not hold up): all false, but the bed still amused Federica who seems to have started the Tokyo Olympics in a great mood.
