Really good skate from Rizzo. Congratulations to Italy on their medal. Even if Gogo somehow won the free skate, it wouldn't enough for Canada.

Wow. The Italian crowd is going wild. Good for him. Italy certainly earned their metal at this Olympics. They have all gated so well. The only bad thing about that skate was that the smiling really didn't fit the music or theme, but who can really blame the guy! You could see him trying to keep his facial expression serious, but there was no holding back that happiness.

Matteo is such an underrated skater imho. His edges are so lovely. Great skate. Great program. Not sure all the jumps were as clean as the lack of reviews suggest but Italy has bronze!

Rizzo hasn't performed like this in years. Might be a PB

His PB is 187. He won't reach it but that doesn't matter.

 

[Arigato]

Bellissimo!

Aww, Marco is crying.

Matteo. Great shirt and program. Great skate. 3rd Olympics. 3rd time is the charm. He has his Olympic moment.

Italy is so happy! That bronze is like gold to them and I love it <3

Italy celebrating as if they won gold lmao, but good for them!!! Years of work went into this.

They won what they knew was possible and the had considerable competition for it. Often the bronze is happier than the silver on the podium.

 

[lariko]

Haha, Italians as reserved as ever love the team's reaction!

 

[Charlotte 71]

What an incredible Olympic moment!!! Italy for the bronze! Matteo is a national hero!

 

[SnowWhite]
