“Words are not enough and are not even needed. You have won two golds that are worth history and rewrite it, making Italian sport shine in the Olympic firmament. Congratulations to Jacobs and Tamberi: sensational. Proud of you and of Italian athletics”. Thus the president of Coni, Giovanni Malagò, celebrates the success of the Azzurri at the Tokyo Games on social networks. “For years there has been a formidable controversy around the theme of Ius soli – said the president of Coni at Casa Italia after the double gold medal in athletics – We have always supported, as a world of sport, that it is a political issue and we do not want to be involved in politics but to deal with sports. Not recognizing sporting ius is something aberrant, crazy. Today more than ever this discourse must be concretized. At 18 years and a minute, those who have those requirements must have Italian citizenship, not that to 18 years begins a via crucis “.” The best answer was given by Mario Draghi who a quarter of an hour after the races, and he gave me enormous pleasure, he called me moved, proud, enthusiastic, he complimented me . Then I passed him the athletes and he invited them both to Palazzo Chigi with Stefano Mei and the coach La Torre. This is the best answer “, added Malagò.” The most beautiful gold medals have arrived. It’s a fairy tale – he pointed out. – is the history of sport. But I have always said ‘in Tokyo n and we will see some good things in one way or another ‘. We must be ready to take this opportunity. It is happening in all sports, in fencing he saw us on the other side, in swimming, in rowing we were good at seizing this opportunity “.” In athletics I said we would win two heavy medals, we won them on the second day and now maybe something else comes out because we are competitive “, added Malagò.” My best day as president? Honestly, I think so – he said – Indeed I think it is the most beautiful day in sporting Italy ever: we have done epic, extraordinary things, the World Cup is a great event, but in terms of the five circles that I represent today it is something has been done that the grandchildren of our grandchildren will tell “.
