Beppe had opened up about his experience at this year’s Paris Olympics on social media, writing:

‘Unfortunately my olympic debut wasn’t what we trained for… but i cannot forget the hard work I put in to get here in the first place. I had to out perform myself on a whole new level, and the result of that was becoming an Olympian.’

‘For now I get to enjoy a well earned break, but after that it’s time to get back to training, to prepare for another fruitful season. I plan to take our flag as high as possible.’
