Maddalena Corvaglia and the beautiful message of Italian sports champions

At the presentation of ‘Back in the game,’ the Sky program hosted by Jury Chechi, among the many guests was Maddalena Corvaglia, a close friend of the gymnastics star. Sportal.it interviewed her exclusively.

You took the stage again, called just by Jury…

Every time is always a thrill, always! Then, oh…it’s spectacular to be here with him. It’s kind of like for an up-and-coming singer to sing with Mina!

You have had so many professional experiences in your career

Great satisfaction, indeed. And then it’s a job that is never static, it evolves, it changes. It gives you the opportunity to do different things, to always put yourself out there. Why not? There are so many projects, so many expectations, new things on the horizon…

What about your relationship with sports?

I deeply love sports. To me it’s a game. And look-if it weren’t for Jury, I would have already collapsed down here! I feel a little embarrassed though, you know? I get an inferiority complex next to him! I’m just waiting for him to move away so I can hang on the rings too! Joking aside, I love sports. But I love it not as an obligation, to lose weight or out of duty-I love it just as a game. It is something that makes me feel good.

Sinner, or even others like Jacobs, Goggia, Egonu…are sending an important message…

Yes, absolutely. When a sportsman has a following, he also has a responsibility. The moment he sends a message, he does it with the knowledge that it reaches many, many people. And so, in my opinion, when a sportsman also represents an idea of a healthy, clean, authentic person … that is a very strong message. And important.
