A dive in the future for the Italian diver Tania Cagnotto – also a Member of the EOC Athletes Commission for the 4-year term 2017-2021 – who announced on 23 August that she will come out of retirement and return to diving for Tokyo 2020, seven months after having a baby.

“I will be back training this fall”, said Italy’s most successful woman diver, 33, who gave birth to Maya in February.

Cagnotto, from Bolzano, is the first Italian female diver to win a medal in a World Championship. A five-time Olympian, she won medals in both individual and synchronized springboard, diving in her last participation at the 2016 Rio Olympics. She is also a 20-time champion at a European level.

An entire life dedicated to sport. Her commitment has never stopped, since she has been also serving as a representative of the European Sport Movement since 2017, when she was elected a Member of the EOC Athletes Commission, on occasion of the 9^th Forum and the 5^th Assembly of the European Athletes that took place in Monte Carlo (Monaco) on 18/20 October.
