Olympics

He and his wife Angelica di Silvestri earned points by competing in qualifying races in lower level tournaments in New Zealand and North America.[11] Prior to the start of the games, Silvestri fell ill by contracting acute gastroenteritis, and was unable to finish the 15 km race.[12] He was one of four competitors to not finish his 15km event (there was also one non-starter).[13] [14]
