Biography
Known to everyone as the “Rana Atomica” after her bronze medal at the 2014 European Championships in Berlin at the age of 17, water has been her natural environment since she was a child. Two appearances at the Olympic Games (Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020), plus seven medals in total at European level: after the German capital, she stood on the podium in the adult competition in London in 2016, in Glasgow in 2018, in Budapest in 2021 and in Rome. She is missing only one metal, the most precious one, gold. In her spare time she loves reading, cinema and travelling. Paris 2024, however, will be anything but a holiday.
