Interviewer: Absolutely! So, Filippo, let’s dive in—pun intended. You’ve had an incredible career. What was the moment when you knew swimming was your true calling?
Filippo Magnini: Oh, there were many moments, but I think it really struck me during my first national competition. There was this rush of adrenaline and joy that I felt, something that I couldn’t find anywhere else.
