LEONARDO TANO’S porn-icon parents have helped the athlete become a rising star.
Dad Rocco – dubbed the “Italian Stallion” – claims he gave the hurdling hero the heads-up on “how to fight performance anxiety”.

Now Leonardo, 24, is in pole position to exploit his amazing all-round talents – with all the mental and physical attributes needed.
Sports-wise, the part-time model eagerly plays the field – as well as the track.
The social media influencer rode dirt bikes, was a karting champion and also ran before focusing on his main gift – hurdling.
And thanks to some fatherly advice, he takes on all-comers with confidence as one of Hungary’s hottest prospects.
Tano Senior, 59, who calls himself a sex addict, and 51-year-old wife Rozsa Tassi found fame via their screen names of Rocco Siffredi and Rosa Caracciolo.
Rocco has appeared in more than 1,300 adult “movies” and features on Netflix show Supersex, which was released on Wednesday.
But he is most proud of keeping his son on the straight and narrow in sport.
The Daily Star report Rocco as having said: “I taught him how to fight performance anxiety.
“Leonardo took all of my stubbornness. But in another area he uses his head much more, so to speak.”
Tano Junior was a karting whizkid, but in effect grew too big.
Luckily, however, his 6ft4ins frame has proved ideal for hurdling.
And his dad would love the dedication he’s shown to athletics in recent years, starting when he was a mechanical engineering student.
He told Crush Fanzine at the time: “I try to play as many sports as I can.
“My principal focus is track and field, which I do six times a week, resting on Sunday
“I would say I am sports addicted, as for me it is an important ingredient to my general health and happiness.”
