Pietro Giachino

The young gymnast participated in the 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. He was later given the opportunity to become the first Norwegian to compete for an Italian club, as Juventus (not to be confused with the football team) offered him transportation to the country, accommodation and financial rewards in order to join them for a month (February-March 2015) and participate in three sporting events. He took part in the first European Games in June. Pietro also participated in the 2015 Championships in Glasgow.

Pietro was born in Oslo into a family of Norwegian mother and Italian father. He has been competing in artistic gymnastics since 2006 and joined the Norwegian national team as soon as the following year. One of the best Norwegian sports clubs, Njård, gave impetus to his career: he achieved a significant success as a member of the aforenamed, winning medals as a junior and, later, senior competitor. He attended the Wang Private School, which provides intensive physical activity. What Pietro frequently used to do in the morning before school is meet other boys and girls at a sports hall in the neighborhood of Hasle and work out along with them only to return in the afternoon.

Pietro Oliver Giachino (born February 26, 1995) is a Norwegian gymnast of mixed origin.

Pietro is inspired by Åge Storhaug who competed from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. He speaks Norwegian, Italian and English.
