It was an emotionally week in Budapest where the first big international event after one year closed.
I am European, I am Italian and the last year for us has not been easy. But we are swimmers and in the difficulties we find the strength to be reborn, stronger than anything.
At the end of this European Championship I leave you with the smiles of these 7 days.
The European swimmers give you an appointment in a few weeks in Tokyo.
