Milan-Cortina 2026, Giovanni Malagò praises Jannik Sinner and reassures on the situation of the works

These are the words of the president of CONI, Giovanni Malagò, on the sidelines of the presentation of Jannik Sinner as ambassador of the volunteer team for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics.

"The choice of Sinner è logical. è a person who è made it to the top of the world, è came from our country. We are all proud that he is Italian. We also know well his path as a young man. Although I understand he continues to do some downhill skiing. Many claimed that he would become good with both tennis and skiing".

"Sinner è a figure that certainly gives the idea of strength of will, unity, enthusiasm, all those that are the characteristics of volunteers,” Malagò highlights. Then the concept of the ambassador. Let us be very careful, è a discourse that è has already been cleared through customs by other sports greats, obviously particularly from winter disciplines, but not only from winter disciplines. Because è this è an event that involves the whole country, involves the territories, also seen in other disciplines and we need people who do training".

Then, about the situation of the works for the venues of the Games, Malagò added: ”The timetable è good point, assuming that we were behind and we are catching up a lot. You see on a daily basis people from both the world of politics and the world of sports give positive feedback. You know that we also have vigilantes who are the IOC and the international federations: we are meeting whatè the roadmap. We are very happy".

"I always remind everyone,” Malagò concludes, “that we represent the organizing committee that is in charge of the sports event and we are not involved in the construction of a road or a village or a sports palace. But of course we are totally involved, we are two sides of the same coin and they are facts of responsibility; direct or if you want indirect, that is all".
