In 2005 Marzia Caravelli made her debut for the Italian national team, but she was a late developer in sporting terms and begun to get good results at international level in 2010 at the age of 29. Despite reaching the semi-finals at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, she has not succeeded in convincing the national federation to allow her to become a member of the Italian military sports bodies.{{cite web|url=http://www.queenatletica.it/archive/2012/05/22/lintervista_a_marzia_caravelli_ho_accumulato_rabbia_e_voglia_di_rivalsa.asp|title=L'intervista a Marzia Caravelli: "ho accumulato rabbia e voglia di rivalsa..."|publisher=queenatletica.it|language=it|date=22 May 2012|access-date=14 June 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130601131405/http://www.queenatletica.it/archive/2012/05/22/lintervista_a_marzia_caravelli_ho_accumulato_rabbia_e_voglia_di_rivalsa.asp|archive-date=1 June 2013|url-status=dead}}
