Biography She won the silver medal in the 3000 metres at the 1991 Mediterranean Games. She competed at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships on six occasions, finishing in fifth place at the 1990 and 1992 editions. Her ninth-place finish at the 1982 competition in Rome earned her the women's team silver medal. She also won the Cinque Mulini cross country race in 1990.
