01:53.262 --> 01:58.552 [SPEAKER_03]: I started when I was like eight years old because I watched the competition. 01:58.592 --> 02:02.300 [SPEAKER_03]: I was playing hockey before and even tennis. 02:02.921 --> 02:06.267 [SPEAKER_03]: Then I watched the competition with my mom. 02:06.708 --> 02:07.610 [SPEAKER_03]: And I really like it. 02:07.730 --> 02:08.892 [SPEAKER_03]: I asked her if I can try. 02:08.913 --> 02:10.756 [SPEAKER_03]: I tried it and I loved it. 02:10.956 --> 02:13.802 [SPEAKER_03]: I was going because my father is from Cortina. 02:13.782 --> 02:20.133 [SPEAKER_03]: So I was going in Cortina and was like skating, falling, standing up. 02:20.253 --> 02:23.117 [SPEAKER_03]: I really loved the freedom when I was on the ice. 02:23.919 --> 02:33.054 [SPEAKER_03]: And for one year I did tennis and figure skating at the same time because my sister and my father are tennis players. 02:33.775 --> 02:39.705 [SPEAKER_03]: But then I decided to choose figure skating 02:40.141 --> 02:42.343 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you've ever met Nick McCarvel. 02:42.684 --> 02:46.508 [SPEAKER_00]: He's a journalist in the US who covers figure skating in tennis. 02:46.548 --> 02:49.391 [SPEAKER_00]: So when I heard you say, you did figure skating in tennis. 02:49.491 --> 02:54.717 [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh, Nick McCarvel needs to talk to you because those are his to- Oh, yes. 02:55.638 --> 02:56.359 [SPEAKER_03]: I love tennis. 02:56.439 --> 02:58.961 [SPEAKER_03]: I still watch like all the matches. 02:59.041 --> 03:00.683 [SPEAKER_03]: I still have a lot of passion on it. 03:00.803 --> 03:02.645 [SPEAKER_03]: And when I have time, I play with my sister. 03:02.685 --> 03:05.068 [SPEAKER_03]: So yes. 03:05.774 --> 03:11.342 [SPEAKER_01]: Is that kind of a good way to wind down or have some stress relief to be able to play with your sister? 03:11.362 --> 03:13.125 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, for sure. 03:14.487 --> 03:19.354 [SPEAKER_03]: She also goes with me to every competition, so she knows me, she knows how to count me. 03:19.955 --> 03:35.038 [SPEAKER_03]: And I don't have so much time because I just see her in the summer, so usually we play in the summer, then when the season started, I don't have enough time to play, but in the summer we always have fun. 03:35.272 --> 03:37.980 [SPEAKER_00]: So let's go into the Olympics. 03:38.220 --> 03:44.117 [SPEAKER_00]: What was it like or what did it mean for you to win that bronze medal in the team event? 03:44.131 --> 03:49.977 [SPEAKER_03]: It was so nice because we knew it was possible, but it was very hard, everyone had to give their best. 03:49.997 --> 03:57.546 [SPEAKER_03]: So it was very stressful week because you were not just stressful for your own competition, but also for the others. 03:58.026 --> 04:00.990 [SPEAKER_03]: You had to hope that everyone does well. 04:01.510 --> 04:10.720 [SPEAKER_03]: So I think that competition was more stressful for the individual, because when you mistake, you mistake for all the team and not just for yourself. 04:11.161 --> 04:13.243 [SPEAKER_03]: So that was... 04:13.223 --> 04:35.046 [SPEAKER_03]: A bit difficult to manage everything, but I'm very happy how all the team give all their best and it was so nice after Matel skated that we realized that we had the medal that was really so nice and it was the third medal for Italy in the figure skating at the Olympics. 04:35.026 --> 04:44.990 [SPEAKER_00]: I still remember you guys all jumping over the board sort of when Mateo finished his program and seeing photos of that so many times. 04:45.471 --> 04:46.754 [SPEAKER_00]: That was a great moment. 04:47.155 --> 04:53.170 [SPEAKER_00]: You guys were all just so excited because you realized he skated so well and that you guys had that bronze medal. 04:53.200 --> 04:54.923 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was full of emotion. 04:54.984 --> 04:58.250 [SPEAKER_03]: It was very nice already when he was, he was starting. 04:58.290 --> 05:02.258 [SPEAKER_03]: They were asking me, oh, what does he has to do with it? 05:02.278 --> 05:06.045 [SPEAKER_03]: And then after every genre that he landed, we were happy. 05:06.085 --> 05:07.949 [SPEAKER_03]: And we started always to realize more. 05:07.989 --> 05:10.534 [SPEAKER_03]: So it was really a special moment. 05:10.514 --> 05:12.077 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, where do you keep your browns metal? 05:12.377 --> 05:19.350 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I have it here, actually, because I lived here for six months. 05:19.731 --> 05:27.625 [SPEAKER_03]: So I was in a host family and I'm coming here to Boston to visit my host family and skating club. 05:27.645 --> 05:31.392 [SPEAKER_03]: So I brought my medal for showing them and everything. 05:31.372 --> 05:36.037 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I always like to know where people keep their medals after they win them. 05:36.057 --> 05:37.598 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, no, I always keep it. 05:37.979 --> 05:44.125 [SPEAKER_03]: I always keep it with me, but with my parents, we start to decide to put it maybe in a special way. 05:44.185 --> 05:56.097 [SPEAKER_03]: Now, we still do know how, but now I'm like, I'm like always bringing in with me, so if someone like want to watch it, I show it. 05:56.363 --> 05:59.711 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you've got to show it, you know, you should be very proud of it. 06:00.152 --> 06:02.598 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm very proud. 06:03.420 --> 06:14.305 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was one of the biggest moments I think from the, from this Olympics was watching Team Italy and the celebration and just the genuine emotion that came across. 06:14.285 --> 06:16.387 [SPEAKER_01]: from anyone who was watching it. 06:17.548 --> 06:25.597 [SPEAKER_01]: It's funny because Gina and I, two years ago, we're talking about, oh, you know the team event, I think Italy has a really good shot. 06:25.617 --> 06:29.101 [SPEAKER_01]: Look at the pairs and see how everything is lining up. 06:29.621 --> 06:32.544 [SPEAKER_01]: And then to see it happen, it was just really exciting. 06:32.604 --> 06:40.613 [SPEAKER_01]: I think for everybody who kind of looked at it and knew the chance was there and just to see it come together for you guys. 06:41.200 --> 07:04.002 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, then it was very exciting because we started the last day that we had good advantage against Georgia and then Georgia started always to follow us, always more points so the last competition we were very nervous but it was like full of emotion everything and yeah. 07:04.066 --> 07:16.236 [SPEAKER_01]: I think all of us watching were really sucked into Mateo's performance, watching that, and seeing it all come together, you just couldn't help but be impacted by feeling. 07:16.874 --> 07:42.156 [SPEAKER_00]: what he was feeling on the ice at the same time and then just seeing the reaction was yeah it was yeah was definitely one of my favorite a little thing to see that that reaction that those performances now i have to ask how did you guys determine you were going to do the short program and material was going to do the free skate did you guys know in advance of that or was it like a last minute decision 07:42.203 --> 08:05.713 [SPEAKER_03]: No, we always had it, we always know it in advance because doing also, I always had very good short programs, so we had like a meeting for one week or two weeks or one week before the Olympics, so to decide and doing also for me two programs would have been very difficult also for the individual event because 08:05.693 --> 08:20.260 [SPEAKER_03]: Making short program then one day off free program two day off short program two days off free program What have been so much so we decided just to do run program for gaining also the energy for the 08:20.780 --> 08:22.444 [SPEAKER_03]: for the individual event. 08:22.704 --> 08:30.502 [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, the short program was very, very, it's very, very important, because there are ten nations like ten people. 08:30.522 --> 08:33.208 [SPEAKER_03]: So you have like to end in the short program. 08:33.248 --> 08:37.337 [SPEAKER_03]: If you do one mistake, it can be very difficult to, 08:39.055 --> 08:54.162 [SPEAKER_03]: to how you say to... Qualify for the... Yeah, yeah, to make good then, because you have to be very mentally focused, concentrated, and it was a lot of pressure, but I'm very happy how I managed everything. 08:54.226 --> 09:01.819 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, we just said you guys winning the team bronze medal was one of our favorite moments from the Olympics. 09:01.879 --> 09:05.204 [SPEAKER_00]: What were some of your favorite memories from the Olympics? 09:05.926 --> 09:10.093 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe outside of the winning of the bronze medal? 09:10.794 --> 09:18.647 [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I would say I think it was to to see with my with my friend. 09:19.657 --> 09:29.118 [SPEAKER_03]: with my Spanish friend that is skating with me, we went to see the village, so that was very nice because in the village there are always a lot of games that you can do. 09:29.759 --> 09:35.151 [SPEAKER_03]: So we were playing ping pong or you could make your own Coca-Cola with your face. 09:35.131 --> 09:52.499 [SPEAKER_03]: So we did so many stuff and I think in the village is always the really nice nice thing to be there that you see so many people that you know or that just one like an Olympic gold medal and So it was very exciting like to be in the village. 09:52.779 --> 09:54.422 [SPEAKER_00]: Now did you stay in the village? 09:54.858 --> 09:56.503 [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I stayed in the village. 09:56.523 --> 10:01.316 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I just went back for five days after my competition, but then I came back. 10:01.496 --> 10:01.978 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 10:01.998 --> 10:05.327 [SPEAKER_00]: And did you meet any famous people while you were in Milan? 10:05.387 --> 10:09.097 [SPEAKER_00]: I know there were a lot of celebrities around that people got to see. 10:09.218 --> 10:10.842 [SPEAKER_00]: Did you get to meet anybody? 10:10.822 --> 10:34.737 [SPEAKER_03]: No, unfortunately, I didn't got to meet anyone because there was no talk, but I never saw him around, so that was a bit pity, but yeah, I saw many celebrities even on the stairs when others were competing, because I watched the woman event and I saw so many, but unfortunately, I never got to meet them. 10:35.699 --> 10:36.059 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 10:36.240 --> 10:38.483 [SPEAKER_00]: Were you into the pin trading? 10:38.564 --> 11:06.445 [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, yes, I've portrayed a lot, then in the last day when we had the closing ceremony, there were so many nations that you never see, because in the Olympic village, it was divided, so we had like just maybe hockey, short track and everything, so maybe the very small nation didn't have no one in skating, so I got like the pin of haiti or other stuff, so it was very, very nice. 11:06.425 --> 11:08.487 [SPEAKER_00]: Do you know how many pins you came home with? 11:08.507 --> 11:14.674 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I think, I think more than 50 for sure, I think, yeah. 11:14.694 --> 11:17.216 [SPEAKER_00]: You had me beat, I don't think I got 50. 11:17.276 --> 11:19.939 [SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm like around my credentials right over here. 11:19.979 --> 11:23.543 [SPEAKER_00]: I think I have like 30 or so that we're on the side now. 11:23.563 --> 11:25.505 [SPEAKER_01]: For you. 11:25.525 --> 11:26.506 [SPEAKER_01]: That seems heavy. 11:26.786 --> 11:28.168 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, that seems like a lot. 11:28.268 --> 11:32.212 [SPEAKER_01]: If you put it on your credential, that seems really heavy to carry around. 11:32.452 --> 11:35.115 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was really heavy after the Olympics. 11:35.180 --> 11:36.001 [SPEAKER_00]: It was heavy. 11:36.061 --> 11:39.426 [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know how Jackie Wong did it with all of his on his. 11:39.446 --> 11:41.088 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yes, it's so many. 11:43.011 --> 11:44.773 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a lot. 11:45.094 --> 11:51.422 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we've talked about winning the metal in Italy. 11:51.863 --> 11:54.807 [SPEAKER_01]: What was it like having your Olympics in your home country? 11:54.947 --> 12:00.715 [SPEAKER_01]: Like having it there, you didn't have to leave Italy like it was there in your home country. 12:00.745 --> 12:22.332 [SPEAKER_03]: It was amazing like to stay always in Italy and also when I was doing the practice, there were so many people and usually in the ISU competition that we usually do, there are not so many people in the practice to watch in the audience. 12:22.312 --> 12:31.123 [SPEAKER_03]: I felt very also the atmosphere in the individual event because when I went for the short program, I felt really good and all the people cheering it was very nice. 12:31.543 --> 12:39.593 [SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately for the free program, I felt very bad because I had like intoxication on my, on my free skating day. 12:39.613 --> 12:45.180 [SPEAKER_03]: So I was feeling, I was feeling very bad and unfortunately I couldn't do what, 12:46.173 --> 12:51.925 [SPEAKER_03]: What I was hoping for, but anyway for this whole Olympics, I'm very happy. 12:51.945 --> 12:55.151 [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, there are many regrets, but yes. 12:55.893 --> 12:58.297 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, did you have your family at the Olympics? 12:58.317 --> 13:05.812 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they came to watch me for the first time, because usually they never watch me, because they're too anxious, but they came to watch me, yes. 13:05.973 --> 13:08.097 [SPEAKER_00]: And what was it like having your family there? 13:08.347 --> 13:33.561 [SPEAKER_03]: it was very nice because usually when my mom got me, it goes good and she gives me very much how you say it calmed so so it was very nice then my sister comes to me at every competition so so I had her sometimes she had like an apartment close to the Olympic village so when I felt maybe two anxious I would have go to her so that was also nice 13:33.676 --> 13:37.169 [SPEAKER_01]: You competed in the last Olympics, so this was your second Olympics. 13:37.610 --> 13:40.320 [SPEAKER_01]: What surprised you most about this Olympics? 13:40.761 --> 13:42.066 [SPEAKER_01]: Compared to the last one. 13:42.282 --> 13:46.246 [SPEAKER_03]: Um, to the last one, like the first Olympics, everything for me was new. 13:46.626 --> 13:52.332 [SPEAKER_03]: I was really just enjoying the moment, so I really, um, enjoyed every, everything. 13:52.732 --> 13:55.154 [SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, it was very a different Olympics. 13:55.174 --> 14:06.686 [SPEAKER_03]: And it, after doing this Olympics, the first one was feeling very different because with the COVID restrictions, like, there were so many and we didn't have any audience. 14:06.706 --> 14:09.268 [SPEAKER_03]: So that was, um, 14:09.248 --> 14:10.029 [SPEAKER_03]: very different. 14:10.530 --> 14:24.608 [SPEAKER_03]: So having this atmosphere at the at the Olympics was very special and everything new because you could like go all to the Olympic village without the mask or you could have done so many things that I couldn't do for the first Olympics. 14:24.628 --> 14:28.253 [SPEAKER_03]: So it was very, um, it was very different. 14:28.233 --> 14:43.150 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that is something we've heard from other athletes and other journalists that were there in 2022 and then 2026 is that this felt more like a real Olympics with the atmosphere versus all the restrictions that they were in 2022. 14:43.410 --> 14:44.132 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 14:44.382 --> 14:48.812 [SPEAKER_00]: Now after the Olympics, how did you refocus? 14:49.433 --> 14:51.879 [SPEAKER_00]: Because there was just so much attention with the Olympics. 14:51.899 --> 14:58.273 [SPEAKER_00]: How did you kind of refocus and get your attention for training for worlds? 14:58.523 --> 15:22.455 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, after after the Olympics, I did like a bit of break because it was very difficult for me that month because I got fever before the Olympics then I couldn't do much training programs then I was a bit worried about everything but after when I went on the Olympic ice everything was really good so I skated my short program then I felt again bad. 15:22.435 --> 15:51.058 [SPEAKER_03]: I have very bad where in the practice before the Olympics like I was doing one jump and I couldn't breathe any more because I didn't eat anything So I was very worried about my free skates like to don't finish it because it was like a lot that I was not doing a free skate because before the Olympics I had fever then when I got to the Olympics I was more concentrated for the short program because the short program was very important for the team event 15:51.038 --> 15:54.872 [SPEAKER_03]: And so that was really planned so it was a bit 15:55.342 --> 16:12.298 [SPEAKER_03]: After the Olympics even mentally, it was very, I felt a bit bad sometimes because I know I could have done better, if I felt better, and I lost many possibilities, but that's okay now I'm concentrating for the World Championship where I want to do my best. 16:12.338 --> 16:21.467 [SPEAKER_03]: So I did five days break and then I started again, and the practice was actually going really, really good. 16:21.920 --> 16:28.115 [SPEAKER_03]: And so I got well, very prepared for the World Championship. 16:28.135 --> 16:35.051 [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like a lot of people said they were either sick before the Olympics or sick after the Olympics. 16:35.071 --> 16:40.384 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not surprised to hear you say that you were under the weather. 16:40.364 --> 16:41.306 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 16:41.787 --> 16:42.589 [SPEAKER_03]: I know, yeah. 16:42.609 --> 16:45.014 [SPEAKER_03]: For me, unfortunately, was during the Olympics. 16:45.074 --> 16:46.377 [SPEAKER_03]: I would have preferred after it. 16:46.597 --> 16:48.000 [SPEAKER_03]: But it's okay. 16:48.662 --> 16:50.405 [SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes you have accepted these things. 16:50.626 --> 16:54.213 [SPEAKER_03]: And it will give you just life lessons. 16:54.494 --> 16:59.284 [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, I tried to take it even in a positive way, even if it's difficult. 16:59.264 --> 17:00.585 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that seemed to be a thing. 17:00.665 --> 17:02.607 [SPEAKER_01]: Gina came home when she came home. 17:02.707 --> 17:07.032 [SPEAKER_01]: She was sick and then other friends of ours came back things to you. 17:07.612 --> 17:09.134 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, what is going on? 17:09.154 --> 17:10.215 [SPEAKER_01]: You go to the Olympics. 17:10.235 --> 17:11.116 [SPEAKER_01]: It's this huge thing. 17:11.136 --> 17:12.677 [SPEAKER_01]: And then what do you bring home? 17:12.717 --> 17:13.718 [SPEAKER_01]: You bring home sick. 17:13.738 --> 17:15.040 [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks. 17:15.060 --> 17:15.140 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. 17:15.160 --> 17:17.082 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, OK, I guess it was worth it. 17:20.225 --> 17:23.808 [SPEAKER_00]: So how do you feel you did at the world championships? 17:23.928 --> 17:28.613 [SPEAKER_00]: Given how things were going for you with this illnesses. 17:28.593 --> 17:31.856 [SPEAKER_00]: and then just so much attention with the Olympics. 17:31.896 --> 17:34.333 [SPEAKER_00]: How do you think you did for the World Championships? 17:34.583 --> 17:55.072 [SPEAKER_03]: Actually, I was very prepared and I didn't do in the competition what I usually trained but actually I'm happy because after the Olympics mentally and so physically it's always very difficult And I'm happy to be back in the top 10 because I proved again that I was at the top 10 at the Olympics and then at the World Championship again. 17:55.593 --> 18:00.760 [SPEAKER_03]: So that builds me also more confidence always for the next season 18:01.162 --> 18:11.940 [SPEAKER_03]: So, but yeah, I could have done much better, but that's okay, after the Olympics is always difficult to get back in shape and mentally for doing it. 18:12.280 --> 18:17.068 [SPEAKER_03]: So, after the Olympics, doing the world championship, there are also many that are not doing it. 18:17.529 --> 18:19.712 [SPEAKER_03]: So, I'm happy how I fought for it. 18:20.694 --> 18:28.266 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely a long season, you throw in the Olympics and you got worlds, you guys are 18:28.432 --> 18:37.425 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a lot of time and always a lot of pressure because before we had to qualify for the Olympics, because it was difficult with the Italian team that is very strong. 18:38.747 --> 18:47.841 [SPEAKER_03]: So before we had to qualify, then we have to do the Olympics team events, think about all this stuff, then doing again the World Championship was difficult, yes. 18:47.821 --> 18:52.206 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you mentioned the strong men's team for Italy. 18:52.226 --> 19:00.214 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you guys are not guaranteed to go to the Olympics in the world you're really having to fight for those spots. 19:01.495 --> 19:02.677 [SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm, yes. 19:02.697 --> 19:08.763 [SPEAKER_00]: So now that the season is like over, what has life been like for you?
