“When we signed the protocol with the federation we were in full covid – said the governor of Lazio – and they took us for crazy because they committed us in 2020 for something that would happen in 2022. Courage was rewarded because it will be a beautiful edition. These great events are always needed “.
On Italy’s first medal, silver in team technical synchro, Zingaretti said that “it’s great news, even the victories encourage people to play sports, especially young people. In fact, in this event we are investing in the facilities that will remain. even afterwards, this is the way of being in great sport. Bringing world and European events, and then thinking about who, once the events are over, stays here and wants to play sports “. (HANDLE).
