MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “Coventry feels emotion? Me more, I think. My life has been dedicated to sports, this is a crown. I’m not just president of the cones, but president of the cones in the Olympics in Italy. This is the fourth time we host the Olympics, with the time that is getting more and more difficult.” The president of the Coni Luciano Buonfiglio declared this in the margin of the presentation of the palinsesti HBO Max for the Olympic Games of Milan Cortina 2026. “It will be the Games of the first times – explained the number one of the Italian sport – It is the first time that there is a widespread Olimpiade, with four flag holders, two braziers to light up, will be the first time that the president of the Republic will inaugurate Casa Italia in Italian land. And we also hope that this is the first time for all the other things that interest us closely.”.
“You expect medals? I’ve already said I always like to do better. Someone told me that last Olimpiade was 17, then I answered: we have to do better. 20 Lillehammer? We do not put limits on the Lord’s hand. The work is there, athletes and athletes are prepared, the staff have done their duty under the guidance of two presidents such as Flavio Roda and Andrea Gios, but the Olympics are Olympics, we know very well that it is not a competition to the ranking, at that time you have to be okay and someone else a little less – added the number one of the Italian sport – Plus, they are Olympics where the weather can make the difference. I think we are ready, we also want, because we are proud and proud to be Italian”
“We don’t hide. We have this case of doping (referring to Rebecca Passler, ndr), I am curious to understand how it ends, we know the athlete, the family, it seems strange. We recently opened the antidoping center in Rome, I am confident that it could be a mistake, a mistake. I felt this morning responsible for Olympic preparation, I am waiting to understand if there will be counter-analysis, it really seems a superficiality – added the number one of Italian sports – In these cases, we are demonstrating to be an exceptional country, where the anti-doping center we have just opened in Rome works. If they’re wrong, I’m very happy from the human point of view. Otherwise, we are demonstrating to the world that we work.”.
