Tokyo 2020, Molfetta: “Dell’Aquila stronger than me”

“He was a bit subdued at the beginning, he wasn’t finding his rhythm which is his peculiarity. When he managed to increase he immediately went up. I know what he feels like, I found myself below in the final.” This was stated by Carlo Molfetta, Olympic champion in taekwondo in London 2012, who from Casa Italia commented on the gold medal of Vito Dell’Aquila in taekwondo. Both athletes were born in Mesagne. “We are the Jesi of taekwondo. We want to win. If Vito is stronger than me? Do you feel like it! He won the medal at 20, I was 28”, concluded Molfetta.
