MILAN -- Italian short track skater Arianna Fontana had to settle for silver in the Olympic 500 meters on Thursday but was delighted to match the tally of Italy's most decorated Olympian.
With 13 medals across six Games, Fontana is tied with fencer Edoardo Mangiarotti, who competed at five Olympics from 1936 to 1960, for the most Olympic medals by an Italian athlete.
