1960 Rome Olympic Champions Celebrated

The EICMA brought together nine Olympic gold medal winners at the public opening of the Milan bicycle fair yesterday. It was a remembrance of 1960 the Olympic Games held in Rome where the Italian national cycling squad took six gold medals.

Present were gold medalists from the Italian time-trial team of Tony Bailetti, Giacomo Fornoni and Livio Trapè (Ottavio Cogliati has passed away); Sante Gaiardoni, who took the victory in both the 1km time-trial and sprint races; Sergio Bianchetto and Giuseppe Beghetto the winning pair on the tandem track sprint; and team-pursuit champions Marino Vigna, Luigi Arienti and Franco Testa (Mario Vallotto has passed away).
