A second Gold Makes Tita and Banti Italy's best ever olympic sailors
Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti have become Italy’s greatest Olympic sailors of all time after winning their second Olympic title at Paris 2024. The duo have dominated the Nacra 17 class for the past four years, winning the gold medal at Tokyo 2020 and taking four world titles.
What Tita said soon after coming ashore from victory backs up Marchesini’s analysis. “We said to each other before starting this cycle that winning the second one was going to be much harder than the first one,” said Tita. “So, yeah, we are proud of what we achieved during this period. We didn’t win the medal today or this week week. It’s all the work that we put together for three years and three World Championships that we have won in the past three years. So we are happy, because we knew it would be so to win it again.”
