« Useless to hide my disappointment for not being selected for the Olympic Games in Rio – said Gabriele Maruotti as a new season with Latina is getting closer – Anyone who plays sport will understand how I felt. One thing is for sure, though, I will follow my teammates and support them, I’ll be their number one fan. My last experience with Italy was so exciting, playing in the World League in Rome, in front of our fans was wonderful. But now is time for a new domestic season with my club and I can’t wait to get back in the gym. I promised myself to turn this disappointment into extra motivation, so I’ll give my absolute best for Latina ».
