(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 30 – “I was not scandalized by what some have called ‘the interference of politics in sport’. For me the anomaly is that sport had not been interested in politics in recent years. It was surprising that politics did not deal or worry about sport, given what sport represents for the country “. This was said by Luca Pancalli, president of the Italian Paralympic Committee, during the conference ‘Sport moves Italy’ organized in Rome by former sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora.
“The entry of Paralympic athletes into the military corps is not a success for the CIP – added Pancalli – it is not a success even for the Paralympic athletes: it is a success and a cultural turning point for the country. Paralympic athlete is a victory for all “. (HANDLE).
