Pellacani and Santoro win European gold in mixed 3m synchro A year after their world title, Chiara Pellacani and Matteo Santoro have added the European crown. The Italian pair took gold in the mixed 3m springboard synchronized event at the Olympic Aquatic Center in Saint-Denis, Paris, the venue for the European Aquatics Championships. The Romans finished with 305.85 points, ahead of Russians Ilia Molchanov and Elizaveta Kuzina (286.17) and Germans Luis Carlo Avila Sanchez and Lena Corona Hentschel (284.19).
It was the pair's second gold of the week, following Friday's team victory alongside Sarah Jodoin di Maria, Raffaele Pelligra and Riccardo Giovannini. “We dominated the competition. Together we give the best of ourselves, said Pellacani, who once again stressed the special bond with her partner: “It’s as if I were his older sister.
Santoro echoed that. “Yesterday I was nervous. Today, with her beside me, it was a whole different story.”””
