Margherita Granbassi: "In fencing the'gold will not missà"
"Unbelievable that in Tokyo from fencing not a single gold came, so we definitely have to improve this year". Margherita Granbassi, who will be commenting on the Olympics for discovery+, with Sportal.it looks forward to Paris.
"I am sure that this year the gold will not be missed, because we really have a lot of very strong guys and very prepared teams. There are a lot of young guys but there are also a lot of veterans who have big chances; and I really make then a big ‘good luck’ for them to be able not to betray the predictions" adds the’former champion.
"We have probably accustomed the Italians too well – smiles Margherita – so the moment we fail to get the best result, and miss the gold medal we talk about disappointment. The movement continues to be alive and the fact that there are so many rookies at the Paris Olympics also shows that fencing continues to have the heirs of the great champions".
Closing on Arianna Errigo: "She's an athlete I am fond of so all the more reason I really hope she can give her all. I don't dare to imagine the excitement that she's already feeling right now but then when she waves the Tricolor once she enters the Olympic Stadium, the opening event. I saw her very excited in telling about her surprise when she learned that she was the flag bearer and she also has a beautiful story behind her. Go Arianna!".
