Mamma Rai defrosts Auro Bulbarelli

It will be Auro Bulbarelli, flanked by Fabio Genovesi, with soprano Cecilia Gasdia as guest, who will do the telecast of the final ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 22, at the Arena in Verona. Rai has also lifted the latest reservations in light of the controversy that followed the rehearsal of Rai Sport director Paolo Petrecca, who is still at the center of numerous criticisms.

The decision also comes in a climate that is far from serene within the company in Viale Mazzini, after the signature strike proclaimed by Usigrai, which yesterday involved journalists from several public service newsrooms. From the outset, the choice seemed to lean toward Bulbarelli, who was initially indicated to comment on the Opening Ceremony and then removed after anticipating President Sergio Mattarella’s cameo at the Games.

The choice was for Bulbarelli.

Anna Danesi in an interview with Talk Player did not use mincing words meanwhile talking about Rai Sport director Paolo Petrecca, who did not recognize her during the Opening Ceremony of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. “I honestly do not care at all that the director of Rai Sport did not recognize me. I watched the Olympic flashlight, he made a world-class impression. Then, my sister the next day sent me the little piece where we carried the flashlight with the Eurosport commentary and there I cried… My fiancé asked me what was going on and I calmed him’I calmed him down”.

“So it doesn&#8217t matter to me that he didn&#8217t recognize me. Otherwise, I am so happy with how the movement has grown in the last few years. Then for people to talk about how wrong he was and not me, not us — maybe it will happen with the next victories”. Danesi on Thursday renewed her contract with Vero volleyball until 2027.

It’s the Milanese club itself that announced it: “Contract extension for the number 11 meneghina, who signed the renewal until the end of the next sports year (…). The Italian national team captain is thus preparing to live her third consecutive season with the Numia jersey, her sixth overall among the ranks of Vero Volley. In the current sporting year Danesi has so far collected 223 points – of these 77 are walls – between Serie A1 Tigotà and CEV Champions League”.
