Francesca Lollobrigida

A standout star of Italian speed skating, she claimed two gold medals at the Milano‑Cortina 2026 Olympics and holds the world record in the 3000 m.
Her career bridges two worlds that may seem distant at first glance — speed skating and cycling — connected by intense training and a shared passion for speed and endurance.

On March 15, 2025, in Hamar, she made history by becoming the first Italian woman ever to win gold at the Speed Skating World Championships in the 5000‑meter event.
At the same competition, she also earned bronze in the mass start, confirming herself as one of the most complete and versatile athletes on the international scene.
