The taste of victory, even more intense if it has that touch of revenge. Not revenge on someone, the toxic one, but the sweet one on the difficulties that sometimes life puts before us and must be faced with courage and a lot of strength of mind. (Photo Instagram – Pro Sesto Atletica )

Francesca Mentasti best represents all this: the athlete from Varese, trained by Silvano Danzi, after neck surgery ( read her story here ) continues to achieve great successes. After having obtained the minimum time to be called up to the U23 European Championships in May, in Grosseto at the U23 Tricolori she conquered first place and her first Italian title of her career.

Three thousand hedges and five neck surgeries are not enough to stop Francesca Mentasti

A well-deserved and sought-after success for the athlete from Varese, who after this further positive performance sees the Under 23 European Championships , which will be held in Bergen, Norway from 17 to 20 July, getting even closer. And who knows, after the various successes in Italy, her great strength may not lead her to achieve results outside the national borders as well.
