Dell'Aquila returns to the top of world taekwondo. The Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion regains first place in both the world ranking and the Olympic ranking in the -58 kg category, continuing his run towards the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. The Italian from Mesagne, fresh from his victory at the Polish Open in the -63 kg category, thus regains the top spot. After the success at the Grand Prix in Rome, in front of the home crowd, and the bronze won in Muju, in the home of taekwondo, Dell'Aquila confirmed his positive moment by also imposing himself in Warsaw, where he competed in a higher category.
"I am very satisfied to be back in first place in the ranking. I lost the top spot last month and I am happy to have regained it thanks to a series of great results.
Muju's bronze gave continuity to the victory in Rome and then came the success at the Polish Open. I want to maintain this position because I feel I deserve it and because I feel I can be the best. At the same time, however, I want above all to continue to have fun", declared Dell'Aquila.
