Personal life
[edit]Santo Condorelli was born in Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido, Japan, on January 17, 1995, to parents Joseph and Tonya Condorelli. Condorelli was raised in the Portland, Oregon, suburb of Lake Oswego[6] and began swimming when he was 5 years old with the encouragement of his father. He was able to compete for the Canadian team because his mother was born and raised in Kenora, Ontario., and for Italy because of his father.[7]

Starting in 2015, he began to represent Canada, and received a bronze medal at the 2015 World Aquatics Championships for the 4 × 100 m Mixed Freestyle Relay alongside Yuri Kisil, Chantal van Landeghem, and Sandrine Mainville, and finished 4th at the 100m freestyle event, missing the podium by 0.07 seconds.[8] He also received two individual and two relay medals at the 2015 Pan American Games.[9]
Condorelli swam collegiately for the University of Southern California from 2013 to 2018, utilizing a redshirt for the 2015 season leading up to the 2016 Summer Olympics.
In 2016, he was named to Canada's Olympic team for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[10] He finished 4th in the 100 m freestyle in a time of 47.88, missing a bronze medal by 0.03 seconds.
Rituals
[edit]Prior to his swims, Condorelli gives the finger to his father, who returns the gesture back to him, as a way to boost confidence and relieve stress.[11]
