Description
Available in:
Ricky Petrucciani (Italian pronunciation: ; born 30 June 2000) is a Swiss sprinter specialising in the 400 metres. He won a gold medal at the 2021 European U23 Championships and a silver medal at the 2022 European Championships in the 400m category. He also reached the semifinals of the 2020 Olympics.
Ricky Petrucciani was born on 30 June 2000 in Locarno, Switzerland to a Brazilian mother and a Swiss father.
He began his athletic career in 2015 when he decided to switch from playing football to athletics. He explained the reason was because he "wanted to train for and not for a team, wanted to achieve results and not those of a team.”
He started working with Flavio Zberg in 2017 and transferred clubs so that he could train with LC Zürich. His father, Maurizio, acts as his manager. Ricky graduated from Collegio Papio and serves as an ambassador for the Ascona-Locarno region.
