๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Interview with Elisa Mammi, a Ligurian Champion

Countries Europe Italy

🇮🇹 Interview with Elisa Mammi, a Ligurian Champion, Finswimmer Magazine - Finswimming News

🇮🇹 Interview with Elisa Mammi, a Ligurian Champion, Finswimmer Magazine - Finswimming NewsHello Elisa, now you are one of the best Finswimmers in the World…speak about your career.
Well…it all begun as a game, and I’m happy that it started in this way, because the Sport should be first of all Fun…lmy first Finswimming competition was during a Classical Swimming one, in the same day, in the same Swimming Pool, then I tried…I liked it so I went on!!! I got my results soon, enjoying my Swimming Trainings, I onlty had to perfect my technics…but I think I have a lot to learn and to improve!!! Next Summer I will try to use the Snorkel in the competitions!!!

Your main Sport is Classical Swimming…which do you prefere? And why?
Yes I’m a Classical Swimmer, and I like it, it’s difficult to choose…I will compete in both of them, because of the Training is almost the same…but I prefere the Finswimming environment!! Without doubts, there is less competition, no stress at races, and it is like a big family, when you get a big results your team mate, and the other teams, come to you to congratulate, and this is the bigger joy, thing that doesn’t use to be in Classical Swimming or in other morwe known sports…

Saint Petersburg Championships, what do you say about?
Well what can I say…this Worlds have been for me beyond all expectations! I was very satisfied! I closed with a flourish year of great sacrifices but I would say that with a silver medal and a bronze one, my efforts were more than satisfied!

Targets for the future…
Targets for the future…well, Europeans…at last Euro I was Second on 50 mt bifins…I have just to swim better!!!

What do you do in yuor life?
In my life…over the sport, and stay always in the water…I study Marine Environmental Science at the Genova University!! I’m attending the 3rd year!! In my free time I go out with friends!!

Who is/was your favourite athlete? And why?
My favorite athlete even though she abandoned the sport this year, is and always will be Paola Cavallino! (Athlete’s National Swimming 200 butterfly) was my team mate in Classical Swimming and especially my teacher of life! If I’m here to tell you about my results I must thank her! Last year I wanted to stop swimming and she gave me the strength to go beyond a few small disappointments that are part of everyday life, and find the motivation to move forward! And even better! And so it was! Thanks Paola!

If you could, what would you do to help our sport?
Well I think I would find the way to make it more visible for all to see … trying to find sponsors advertise … … and that’s what in my little I’m trying to do in Genoa! Then the greatest dream would be … that Finswimming would take part at the Olympic Games … but unfortunately this does not depend on me!

Have you ever tried the Monofin? If yes tell us how did you feel…if not, why?
Yes I tried once in 50 apnea…and it was soo good!!! But I always prefere Bifins!!!

Sport & youngs, what would you say to a little boy/girl that is starting Finswimming?
I would tell him to follow his dreams…and never give up…with commitment and determination nothing is impossible!!

Tell us something (free topic)
I would like to thank all my team-mates (including technicians) that made me enjoy both at Eger and in St. Petersburg that the days beautiful and fun! Experiences that I really hope to repeat!

🇮🇹 Interview with Elisa Mammi, a Ligurian Champion, Finswimmer Magazine - Finswimming News

🇮🇹 Interview with Elisa Mammi, a Ligurian Champion, Finswimmer Magazine - Finswimming NewsCiao Elisa, ormai sei una pinnatista affermata con le bipinne, ai vertici delle classifiche mondiali…raccontaci il tuo percorso per arrivare a questi risultati.
Allora diciamo che tutto è iniziato come un gioco, e sono contenta sia andata cosi, perchè lo Sport deve essere prima di tutto motivo di divertimento…la mia prima gara di Nuoto Pinnato l’ho fatta in concomitanza di una gara di Nuoto Classico, erano lo stesso lo giorno, nella stessa piscina, allora ho provato…mi è piaciuto e ho continuato!!! A questi risultati ci sono giunta praticamente subito appena iniziato questo sport sfruttando l’allenamento del Nuoto, poi certo ho dovuto perfezionare la nuotata ed adattarla alle pinne…e c’è da dire che ho ancora tanto da imparare e migliorare!!! Quest’estate cercherò di usare anche il tubo x la respirazione!!!

Il tuo sport originario è il Nuoto Classico…quale preferisci tra i due, e perchè?
Sì io sono una nuotatrice d’origine, e mi piace anche il Nuoto, dover scegliere tra i due è un po’ difficile…finchè riesco cerco di praticare entrambi, tanto l’allenamento del nuoto è funzionale anche x quello del Nuoto Pinnato…come ambiente preferisco quello del Pinnato però!! Senza dubbio, c’è meno competizione, le gare vengono affrontate piu serenamente, ed è come essere in una grande famiglia, quando raggiungi un risulatato importante, i compagni di squadra e addirittura gli avversari vengono a complimentarsi con te, e questa è la gioia piu grande, cosa che putroppo difficilmente avviene nel Nuoto e in altri Sport con maggiore visibilità…

Mondiali di San Pietroburgo, come ti sono sembrati?
Beh che dire…questi mondiali sono stati per me oltre ogni previsione!!! Sono rimasta molto soddisfatta!!! Ho chiuso in bellezza un anno di grossi sacrifici a livello sportivo ma direi che con al collo una medaglia d’argento e una di bronzo, i miei sforzi sono stati piu che appagati!!!

Obiettivi per il futuro…
Obiettivi x il futuro…ci sono gli Europei quest’anno…la scorsa estata arrivai seconda nei 50 pinne…beh quest’anno si cerca di migliorare!!!

Cosa fai nella vita oltre a stare in piscina?
Nella vita…oltre a nuotare e stare perennemente in piscina…studio Scienze Ambientali Marine presso la facoltà di Genova!! Sono al terzo anno!! Nel tempo libero esco con gli amici!!

Qual è il tuo/la tua atleta preferito/a? E come mai?
La mia atleta preferita anche se ha abbandonato lo sport quest’anno, è e rimmarrà sempre Paola Cavallino!!! (atleta della nazionale di Nuoto sui 200 delfino) è stata mia compagna di nuoto e soprattutto maestra di vita!!! Se sono qua a raccontare dei miei risultati lo devo soprattutto a lei!!! L’anno scorso volevo smettere di nuotare lei mi ha dato la forza di saper andare oltre alcune piccole delusioni che fanno parte della vita di tutti i giorni, e trovare le motivazioni per andare avanti!! E anzi migliorare!! E cosi è stato!!! Grazie Paola!!!

Se tu potessi fare qualcosa per aiutare il ns sport, cosa faresti?
Beh penso che cercherei la strada per renderlo piu visibile agli occhi di tutti…cercando di publicizzarlo…trovando sponsor…ed è quello che nel mio piccolo sto cercando di fare a Genova!!! Poi il sogno piu grande…sarebbe quello che entrasse a far parte dei Giochi Olimpici…ma putroppo questo non dipende da me!!!

Hai mai provato ad usare la Monopinna? Se si raccontaci come ti è sembrata…se no, come mai?
Sì l’ho provata una volta nei 50 apnea…è andata bene!!! Però continuo a preferire le pinne!!!

Lo sport e i giovanissimi, cosa diresti ad un piccolo atleta che sta iniziando il Nuoto Pinnato?
Gli direi senza dubbio di continuare ad inseguire i propri sogni…e a non mollare mai…con impegno e determinazione nulla è impossibile!!

Parla di quello che vuoi (argomento libero)
Vorrei ringraziare tutti i miei compagni di Nazionale (tecnici inclusi) che mi hanno fatto trascorrere sia ad Eger che a San Pietroburgo dei giorni bellissimi e divertenti!!! Esperienze che spero davvero di poter ripetere!!!
