(ANSA) – ROME, JULY 20 – “Bowls at the Olympics? Our sport has always been disadvantaged by the international community, we have a thousand-year history but if sports that have existed for twenty years and not us enter the Games, there is some problem is”. yes Marco Giunio De Sanctis, president of the Italian Bocce Federation, at the presentation of the World Intercontinental Challenger and the world youth championships in raffa, scheduled for next September in Rome. “The problem is that we are not very united on a global level, we have too many organizations, we should have only one to talk to the IOC, instead each one goes on their own. Being present in Los Angeles 2028? It is not feasible, if we talk about it again in 2032” , adds De Sanctis. “We paid a lot for the absence of pétanque, one of the French national sports, at the Paris 2024 Games. Break dance has entered its place, I do not make comparisons but we expected to enter” he concluded.
