The eighth day of the Paris 2024 Olympics saw Italy celebrate its sixth gold medal, thanks to Marta Maggetti's stunning victory in windsurfing.

This win marks a significant moment, as it comes 24 years after Alessandra Sensini's triumph in the same sport.

Maggetti's gold was secured through a brilliant tactical maneuver during the race, capitalizing on a mistake by her main rival, Emma Wilson.

Meanwhile, sprinters Marcell Jacobs and Chituru Ali both advanced to the semifinals of the 100 meters, showcasing Italy's strong presence in athletics.

In swimming, Simona Quadarella is set to compete in the 800 meters, aiming to redeem herself after a disappointing performance in the 1500 meters.

Additionally, Lorenzo Musetti will vie for bronze against Félix Auger-Aliassime after falling short in the semifinals against Novak Djokovic.
