"At the Olympics there's an unwritten rule that whoever carries the tricolor must have won at least one Olympic gold medal, Jannik has never even participated in an Olympics and on this issue the best answer he has given. Then if he doesà a great result in Paris maybe in the 2028 edition he will be the next flag bearer" began the CONI president as quoted in quotes from the "Gazzetta dello Sport".

"As popularity" è went into the stratosphere, forò even Italian sports in recent years è grew so much by achieving extraordinary results" added the sports executive born in 1959.

"For Milan-Cortina we started late, but we will complete the work on schedule. I am sure it will be the best Games ever" concluded Giovanni Malagò.
