Calabria enthusiastically celebrates the extraordinary result obtained by Noemi Canino, athlete of Kairos Nuoto Lamezia, who won a prestigious gold medal at the Deaflympics 2025 in Tokyo – the Olympics for deaf athletes.

After the bronze achieved in the 4x100m freestyle the previous day, Noemi reached the maximum goal in the FSSI (Italian Deaf Sports Federation) relay. Together with her teammates Jessica Diddoro, Gaia Maragno, Viola Scotto di Carlo and Chiara Somenzi, she dominated the 4×200 freestyle race, taking Italy to the top step of the podium.

A success that not only represents a personal result or an affirmation for the Italian swimming movement, but also an important source of pride for the whole of Calabria, thus projected into a context of great international visibility.

The determination and quality expressed by Noemi confirm the value of the path built over the years, the result of her daily commitment and the work carried out with the coaches of Kairos Nuoto Lamezia, Vanni Celano and Francesco Strangis. The region rejoices in the face of a victory that rewards talent, sacrifice and dedication.
