The Making of an Olympic Champion | Matteo Tagliariol OLY

The 2008 Beijing Olympic champion in men's épée and the first Italian to win the individual épée gold since 1960, Matteo Tagliariol OLY didn't stumble into greatness. From childhood, he made every decision through a single lens: Would an Olympic champion do this? That relentless commitment carried him all the way to the top of his sport. But when injuries and circumstances beyond his control threatened to end his career, he found a way to keep going anyway. His story is one of a champion who built himself from the inside out and had to do it all over again. Tune in to hear how one of Fencing's greatest navigated the long road after the podium.Follow Matteo on Instagram: @forzataglia
