“In this first year I lived on income. My fear was that my metabolism would change radically from one day to the next, but it has adapted a lot. By doing less activity, hunger has also diminished than before, so my weight has remained the same. But one thing is to train every day, doing the gym three times a week and water 10 times, one thing is to do it two, three times a week or when you can. The body changes from a muscular point of view “. She tells it in an interview with “Grazia” Federica Pellegrini, noting the physical changes after the farewell to competitive sport. “At a certain point my breasts started to get rounder and it blew me away. No longer doing the gym, no longer turning my arms in the water (which leads to having a very developed pectoral, taking away some of the natural breasts ) after three, four months from the end of the competitions I was amazed: “Man, now I have breasts! Incredible!”. “There is a very different roundness. In these days I wanted to do an experiment: I’m training every day to see if my body reacts as it once did and how much it can change in two weeks. Regarding the project in favor of young swimmers he is working on, Pellegrini declares to Grazia: “We are developing a kind of Academy and it is the project that I feel most mine , because I stay in my environment. There will be this passing of the baton between me and the new generations. I really believe in being able to convey my passion for an element like water and an incredible sport like swimming “.
