Two months passed since the Rio 2016 Olympic Games closed, and they already became history.
In these months, in fact, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne (SUI) received a consistent number of donations from athletes who participated at the Games of the XXXI Olympiad, including one from the two-time Olympic Champion Niccolò Campriani: Gold medallist in the men’s 10m Air Rifle and in the men’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions.
During a ceremony held on October 13th, the 29-year-old delivered two items he used at the Games: the air rifle who Campriani, an engineer himself, designed and developed along with a small Italian company, and who allowed him to claim his first Rio 2016 title; and the pair of shoes he wore in Rio and for the 16 previous years, the only one he felt comfortable in despite their wear.
Campriani, who also won 2 Olympic medals at London 2012, a Gold in the 50m Rifle 3 Positions Men and a Silver in the 10m Air Rifle Men, is a great fan of the Museum, having visited it twice before becoming part of it, and after the ceremony offered to take part in a photo session with the fans and his two Olympic Golds.
