she has been for a while the Marathon Italian Record holder (in this discipline she was 12th in Sydney 2000 and she won the Individual Bronze and Team Silver at the 1998 Europeans in Budapest), meanwhile, desòpite not winning any major international medal, she's still our National Record holder in the 10,000m on the Track (31.05.57 her PB/NR)...

Apparently he collapsed while cross-country skiing?
