note
Third place at the Japan World
Championship last October, Diego
was submitted to an arthroscopy
on his right-side knee in March –
his fifth surgery – but asserts that
the injury was a good source of
motivation. As a child Diego
considered gymnastics to be a very
boring sport. It was due to the
insistence of his sister Daniele
that, at the age of seven, he
agreed to try it and, from then on
never stopped to practice the
modality.
