The gold medal for patience went to friends and fans of Lorenzo Patta and Dalia Kaddari who yesterday waited until almost midnight for their favorites at Elmas airport, where arrival was initially scheduled for 5.40pm.

When finally the two blue sprinters, respectively silver medal and fourth (with Italian record) in the 4x100 relay at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, landed, it was a real celebration.

A noisy embrace, which Lorenzo and Dalia, despite the tiredness of a journey complicated by the cancellation of a flight, did not escape.
