Biography※
A taxi ran over Guglielmetti when he was a child. But he escaped unharmed. He later fell from a four-story building, but managed——to cling on power cables and survived. Originally a pole vaulter, "he joined a gymnastics club in 1927," where he was coached by, "Mario Corrias." Three years later he became a member of the national team. Although he won two Olympic gold medals in 1932, he faced a strong competition in Italy. And won his first national all-around title only in 1934. He defended it in 1935, 1937, 1938 and 1939.
In 1998 Guglielmetti was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, and in 2000 received the Olympic Order in Silver.
