(from the correspondent Emanuele Rizzi) – “Paola Egonu Olympic flag bearer? I am very proud for Paola, as soon as I heard I said to her, as a first reaction, ‘but you don’t walk with me like this …’. There is a very strong bond between us. Pride took over soon after. She represents all of us and the fact that she does it is the maximum expression. I will get excited just seeing her. I don’t know what to expect, maybe even two little tears will fall, but I won’t tell her ” . These are the words of the captain of the blue women’s national volleyball team Miriam Sylla at Adnkronos from Tokyo on the IOC’s decision to choose her blue partner Paola Egonu as Olympic flag bearer. “Paola was excited, she was not in the skin, but she said but because I … I’m nobody. But I said to her, ‘if they ask you to bring her it is no coincidence’. She feels in awe. We all told her that the fact that she wears it is an incredible thing on a team and group level. ” “When you participate in such an event you aim high, I can’t say what will happen or what we want, we obviously have an idea, but we don’t know what we are going to meet. This group is worth a lot for how it arrived in Tokyo. deserves to be able to prove it, “said the captain of the Italian women’s volleyball team Miriam Sylla at the Adnkronos from Tokyo on the volleyball tournament at the Games, without compromising on the goals of the blue team. “In the first game there may be a bit of tension and the desire to do well against a tough opponent, but there are no easy teams to face. Better to have a tough challenge right away, I say ‘fear everyone and fear no one'”. “I’m fine, I’m doing therapy. My ankle is recovering quickly, I’m serene, there’s a bit of regret that I’m not at 100%, but I’m absolutely not afraid of not being ready for the first match of the Olympics with Russia. , I am working to make sure I am as good as possible “, explained the captain of the women’s national team, speaking of her physical condition after her ankle injury against Serbia. For the Sylla it will be a captain’s Olympics. “I also thought about this but it is a fact that takes a back seat. The Olympics are the dream of a lifetime, they can be tackled in the best possible way and I want to do it without too much weight. Maybe I will have a bit of tension at the beginning, in occasion of the draws, but it is our Olympics and I try not to think about it “, added Sylla. The blue and her companions are living life in the Village to the fullest despite the anti-covid restrictions. “Restrictions are not something that upsets our life, we have been living it in everyday life for a year and a half and we are also used to greater isolation in the bubbles, in the hotel -explains the blue-. Here in Tokyo we are many national teams, it is true that there are restrictions, Plexiglas divides us, but there are many people. Life in the Village is special, there are many athletes from different sports, you see them train in a different way, and it strikes you. doing amazing things in the gym. ”
