After an amazing swimmer career, Federica Pellegrini decided to devote herself to her family. It recently became a mother of little Matilde, she told what are the most important teachings to be transmitted to her baby and her generation.

The former Olympic champion has shared various aspects of his life which are not always obvious for those who observe it from outside. He underlined how much his parents were a support for her and how much importance they had both private and working in her life. Without hesitation, he said that the family is the value that most of all will try to transmit to his daughter Matilde.

The value of the family is sacred for Pellegrini. For the career of a professional athlete, the family always makes the difference. He said that, in first superior, his mother Cinzia got up at five in the morning with her, prepared her breakfast, accompanied her to the pool, she went to resume and led her to school.

Waiting for the elevator that would bring her to the tanks for the final, when the doors are opened, she found it full of Italian coaches, none of whom worried about selling her place. And she had to do eight floors on foot. If there had been a man "I think it would go differently," he commented. But this episode, happened before the race, triggered something that gave her the right push to win.
