Gold for Italy in the Speed Skating Team Pursuit. A surname makes this final "cycling-like": Ghiotto. Dad Federico, born in '63, professional from '86 to '93 and grown in the "cantera" of Zalf Fior of the Lucchetta brothers - the Euromobil gentlemen - later wore the jerseys of Vini Ricordi, Gis Gelati, Ariostea and Jolly Componibili, before stopping with the Eldor Viner jersey of Marco Giovannetti, saved by Giorgio Squinzi with his Mapei. His son, Davide, today was the protagonist of an absolutely top-level performance, which dragged the Azzurri to sporting immortality. Today the ice guys definitively beat the United States (Casey Dawson, Emery Lehman and Ethan Cepuran) in the final. On the long track in Rho, there was no contest. After controlling, in the finale they made up ground in the last three laps. Extraordinary were the final three laps for Davide Ghiotto, Andrea Giovannini and Michele Malfatti who made up a 7-tenth gap to the world champion United States. Medal number 24, the ninth gold. The stands explode with celebration.
