Federica Pellegrini and Matteo Giunta
Remarkably, Italian swimmer Federica Pellegrini is the only swimmer in history to win eight consecutive medals in the same event. She also holds the distinction of being the first female Italian Olympic swimming champion and the only Italian swimmer to set world records in multiple events. Truly impressive!
After her long-term relationship with fellow Olympic swimmer Filippo Magnini ended in 2016, Federica Pellegrini, one of over 30 Olympic couples, found love again. She married her longtime coach and partner, Matteo Giunta, in 2022. This new chapter highlights how Olympic athletes often find lasting connections both on and off the field.
