The 12th medal for Italia Team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has come from rowing.

On the waters of the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium, the quartet composed of Luca Chiumento, Luca Rambaldi, Andrea Panizza, and Giacomo Gentili (photo Luca by Pagliaricci/CONI) claimed silver in the men’s quadruple sculls. 

The final victory was claimed by the Netherlands (5:42.00), who started as the reigning Olympic and world champions, with the Azzurri crew (5:44.40) managing to secure the runner-up position over Poland (5:44.59) in the final metres of their duel.

For Italy, this marks a return to the Olympic podium in this discipline 16 years after the silver won at Beijing 2008 by Rossano Galtarossa, Simone Raineri, Luca Agamennoni, and Simone Venier.
