Arianna Fontana won the
bronze in the 1,000m short track Thursday, giving Italy its 10th
medal of the Winter Olympics.
Suzanne Schulting of the Netherlands got the gold and Kim
Bourin of Canada the silver.
It was the third medal for Fontana, Italy's flag-carrier at
the Games, after her gold in the 500m and silver in the relay.
She now has eight Olympic medals from four games.
Fontana said "medals generate pride, now Italy has to wake
up", referring to the March 4 general election.
The 27-year-old added that "I need passion, and quitting the
sport won't be easy".
