Especially, 'athlete couple' who stepped on the Olympic stage together is also very noticeable. There are many elite athletes who dream of the Olympic stage all their lives and eventually fail to participate and retire, and it is very rare and honorable for couples to participate in the Olympics at the same time. If they win a medal together, they will be the world's official Olympic medal couple.
However, Italy's 'Olympian Couple' participated in the Paris Olympics produced an unusual scene with medals around their necks in almost real time. I competed in different places and different events, won a medal, and took the podium, but it turned out that it was almost the same time zone. In reality, it's about 15 minutes apart, but it's almost the timing to be 'real time'.

The results of Piamingo's women's epee team event came out about 15 minutes earlier. Calculating the timing of the time, Paltrinieri showed a reverse image of his soul and hit the touchpad in third place while Piamingo and his colleagues climbed to the piste and watched the flag fly while listening to the Italian national anthem.
Paltrinieri and Piamingo developed into a couple in the wake of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Both athletes are Italian elite sportsmen who have already won medals since the 2016 Rio Olympics. Paltrinieri is the gold medalist in the 1500m freestyle at the Rio Games, and Piamingo is the silver medalist in the women's epee.
He also participated in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and won medals. Paltrinieri won silver and bronze medals in the 800m freestyle and 10km open water swimming respectively, while Piamingo won bronze in the team event. In the end, through two Olympics, Paltrinieri won gold, silver, and bronze medals, while Piamingo won silver and bronze medals.

Eventually, the Italian couple will have a tremendous record of harvesting a total of seven medals, including gold, silver, and bronze, from three Olympics so far. On their social media, they posted a photo of them holding medals together in the athletes' village, writing 'It's better when they're together' and scratching the hearts of the athletes who participated in the Olympics with 'single'.

There are also "couples of different nationalities" and "couples of the same gender". Men's Judo Christian Parlatti (Italy) and women's Judo Gabriela Willems (Belgium) and tennis' Gael Monfis (France) and Elina Svitolina (Ukraine) couples. The tennis couple also held a wedding march ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
There are also a number of imposing 's same-sex couples'. Austrian yachtsman Lara Badlau and soccer player Lia Schiller of Germany, Edvard Hal of the Dutch national equestrian team and Hans Petter Minderhoot are representative same-sex couples.
