gold at the tip of her foil
it was at the age of seven, at the scherma club in jesi in the province of le marche, that giovanna took up fencing. encouraged by her first coach, ezio triccoli, the young italian quickly developed a taste for the sport, and specialised in the foil. in 1986, aged just 16, she took part in the world championships for 15-17 year olds, and won the silver medal.
in 1992 in barcelona, she took part in her first olympic games. in the individual and team foil events, she displayed great precision and incredible speed. in the individual competition, she reached the final where she faced china's huifeng wang, and produced an exemplary display. after losing the first bout, she came back to win the next two and take the gold medal. in the team competition, after defeating poland, korea, hungary and romania, giovanna and her four team-mates (diana bianchedi, margherita zalaffi, francesca bortolozzi borella and dorina vaccaroni) won the gold, beating germany by nine bouts to six. giovanna trillini thus finished her first games with two olympic titles. she was just 22.
four years later, she competed in the same events at the games of the xxvi olympiad in atlanta. even though the italian team numbers were smaller, with three rather than five women's foil competitors, the result was the same. in a hard-fought final against romania, giovanna trillini, francesca bortolozzi borella and valentina vezzali won the gold medal by 45 to 33. in the individual foil, giovanna narrowly lost in the semi-final to romania's laura carlescu badea, the future gold medallist. but she managed to win the bronze against france's laurence modaine, 15 to 9.
the olympic games in sydney in 2000 were a carbon copy of the previous edition: bronze in the individual, and gold in the team events. in the match to decide third place in the individual event, giovanna beat the atlanta champion laura carlescu badea 15 to 9, ensuring her place on the podium.
lastly, at the 2004 games in athens, only the individual event was on the programme. the italian was beaten 15-11 in the final by her compatriot, valentina vezzali, so took the silver.
with seven medals, giovanna trillini ranks alongside hungary's ildiko rejto-ujlaki as the most successful olympic fencer. this is in addition to her nine world championship titles, again in her favourite discipline: the foil.

金牌在她的剑锋上
在七岁的时候，乔万纳•特里利尼就在家乡杰西市的击剑俱乐部开始接受击剑训练。在她的第一任教练的支持和鼓励下，特里利尼很快就喜欢上了这项运动，并且开始从事花剑的专门训练。1986年，年仅16岁的特里利尼参加了15-17岁世界击剑锦标赛，并且获得一枚银牌。
1992年，特里利尼在西班牙巴塞罗纳开始了自己的第一届奥运会之旅，在花剑的个人单项和团体项目中，她体现出击剑的高精确性和让人难以置信的出剑速度，在个人项目的决赛中，她在先丢一局的情况下，她连下两局，反败为胜，夺得金牌。在团体比赛中，她和队友击败波兰队和德国队，获得花剑团体冠军。 年仅22岁的特里利尼在自己参加的第一届奥运会中就包揽了女子花剑的两个项目的金牌。
四年后的美国亚特兰大奥运会上，特里利尼参加花剑两个项目的比赛，尽管意大利队只有三名队员能够出战，但特里利尼和队友仍然以45-33击败罗马尼亚队，成功卫冕这枚金牌。在个人项目的比赛中，特里利尼只获得一枚铜牌。2000年，特里利尼在澳大利亚的悉尼奥运会上复制了四年前的表现，她先获得个人花剑的铜牌，再与队友一起获得女子花剑团体金牌。2004年希腊雅典夏季奥运会女子花剑只有单人项目的比赛，特里利尼在决赛中以11-15不敌对手，只获得一枚银牌。
特里利尼在她参加奥运会中，总共获得了七枚奥运奖牌，成为奥运会历史上获得奖牌最多的运动员之一，此外，她还一共九次夺得世界锦标赛的冠军。
