Ranked number 11 in the world, Garozzo was the surprise winner of the gold medal in the Men's Individual Foil at the 2016 Summer Olympics, beating the American world number 1 Alexander Massialas in the final; his victory raised his world ranking to number 2. Yet in the same event at the next Olympics in 2021, he was defeated by Cheung Ka Long from Hong Kong with a score of 15-11, claiming his first Olympic silver medal.
