"Here we are ... I told you that around September I would decide whether or not to continue my way to Tokyo. It was a really difficult choice - writes Tania Cagnotto in the post published on her official Instagram account - On the one hand the desire to participate in my sixth Olympics as a mother with the great dream of carrying the flag of Italy and on the other the desire to expand the family.
Well yes, this time I chose life, family and shortly after destiny wanted to give me a new life inside me, already happy for my choice ".
After announcing the retirement, the blue diver turns to her supporters: "I know that many of you wanted to see me once again on the trampoline and I'm sorry to have disappointed you but in this lockdown, as has happened to many others, I had time to reflect and understand what was most important to me. I no longer had that willpower (which guided me for 20 years) to commit and sacrifice myself in the way an Olympics requires! I have always honored all the Olympics and I could not fail to do so Also this time!".
Finally, thanks to my partner Francesca Dallapé "for convincing me to take on this crazy challenge and for making me dream of something big like a mothers Olympics ... And once again thanks to all of you, who have changed my mind .. . you who have given me the strength to restart the car ... you who have always supported me with messages of esteem and affection! I promise you that I will still share my life and in any case this is just a goodbye to the world of dives because I think I can still give something in another role ... And then Maya will need a coach "he concludes speaking of his daughter.
