In Milan Jannik Sinner è was officially presented as the volunteer ambassador for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games in the presence of Coni President Giovanni Malagò and Diana Bianchedi, Chief Strategy Planning & Legacy Officer of Milan-Cortina 2026 Foundation,

The tennis number 1, as everyone knows by now, has a past as a great promise of skiing at the youth level, then instead chose the tennis courts to enter the history of Italian sports.

Since we are talking about the Olympics, the ones that will be held in Italy in less than a year and a half, è it is inevitable for Jannik to return to his forfeit at the Paris Games: “For me this year, the Olympics was the biggest goal but unfortunately I could not go”.

Then we get into the subject of Milan-Cortina: “What do I expect? Hopefully it will snow in’winter (everyone laughs, ed.). I was afraid to do the downhill. Tennis è less dangerous and è easier, maybe. Torchbearer? I would like to do something in Milan-Cortina, we will see”.

I have a great connection with winter,” continued the 23-year-old South Tyrolean from Sesto, a municipality in Val Pusteria. “I would like to follow everything. I really like giant slalom (in which he excelled as a boy, ed) and downhill but from the outside, to see how fast they go. We will see how much time he will haveò”.
