This is a new weekly update, courtesy of Federico Rosa’s management group, Rosa Associati. This update features performances in indoor athletics and in cross country. What is fascinating to me is how many young athletes are featured. I love seeing athletes develop and enjoy those break throughs. Special thanks to Stefano Cugusi, who so diligently provides these updates.
One of the fine athletes featured is Thiago Braz Da Silva, the Rio 2016 gold medalist. Thiago is always competing, and has overcome the challenges since his gold medal. That Da Silva had that moment is more than most, I see him as a challenge each time that he competes, what will he do next?
