Arianna Talamona is a 21-year-old Paralympic athlete from Malnate,<\/strong> who competes for the Polha Varese team<\/strong>, and in the Italian national swimming team.
\n<\/strong>
\nFor any athlete, 2016 cannot be a normal year. Indeed, from 7 to 18 September,<\/strong> there are the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro<\/strong>, which, for all athletes, is a dream, which for Arianna is not far from coming true.<\/p>\n

Arianna, tell us something about yourself.<\/strong>
\n\u201cI was born with hereditary spastic paraplegia, and since I was little, I\u2019ve practised swimming, although, at the beginning, I was reluctant to take part in competitions. Then, towards the end of middle school, someone convinced me, and I started to swim competitively. In 2009, I took part my first races, and since 2011, I\u2019ve been on the Italian national circuit. Polha (a Varese-based company, which has been involved with disabled athletes for years, ed.) has been very important in my career, and even today, its involvement is essential.\u201d<\/p>\n

And you immediately began to achieve good results, didn\u2019t you?<\/strong>
\n\u201cThat\u2019s true, but it isn\u2019t the medals that give me the most satisfaction. Over these years, I\u2019ve changed a lot, personally. Swimming saved me, also on a relational level, and this is the greatest success I\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding sport events, which has brought you the most satisfaction \u2026 so far?<\/strong>
\n\u201cWithout a doubt, the European championships in Eindhoven, in of 2014: that was the event in which I obtained the best results, and I won a medal.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019re getting close to Rio 2016; what are the next steps in preparation for Brazil?<\/strong>
\n\u201cI have to admit that, at this moment, I\u2019m not feeling too well, because I\u2019ve had some problems with my thyroid; but the next competition is the European Championships, from 1 to 7 May, in Funchal, Portugal. I hope to get some good results, although the last important trials will be in June.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding results, how do you get to go to Rio?<\/strong>
\n\u201cThis year the international federation made available ten places for women and ten for men on the Italian national team, and for London, five and seven. What counts is the performance during the year, and the ranking in the Italian team. At the moment, I should be eighth in my category so, fingers crossed, I should be one of those called.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you qualify, what will your objective be?<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt will depend on the competition: generally, I swim 400 metres front crawl, 200 metres mixed and 100 metres backstroke. I hope to reach the final at least in the \u201c4 styles\u201d, this would give me great satisfaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project \u201cAcquaRio\u201d is also linked to the next Paralympics. What is that about?<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a project that arose out of the need to train in Milan, to combine the university and work commitments of some athletes in Paralympic swimming. Apart from me, other people from Varese are involved, such as Federico Morlacchi, Alessia Berra and Fabrizio Sottile, as well as Arjola Trimi, Giulia Ghiretti, Francesca Secci and Giuseppe Romele. We train together at the \u201cSaini\u201d Sports Centre, near Linate. Polha had an essential role also in this project. The best thing is that we train together, everyone maintaining the original team.\u201d<\/p>\n
