Milan-Cortina 2026, Lorello: ‘Winning a medal at home is wonderful, I dedicate it to my dad’

Milan, 8 February (LaPresse) – ‘It’s something wonderful in front of my family and friends, it tastes even better.’ This is how Riccardo Lorello commented on his bronze medal victory in the men’s 5,000 metres speed skating at the Milan Cortina Winter Games. The 23-year-old Italian dedicated the medal to ‘my father Adriano, who introduced me to the world of sport and supported me until I made the switch (0:35) from rollerblading to ice skating,’ and not only because ‘in order to follow me more closely, he became a judge four years ago, so he was in the centre of the rink refereeing or following my race.’
