MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “I am grateful that so many people speak of the Olympic truce, the Pope’s words are another important message for all.” This was said by the President of Cio, Kirsty Coventry, during a press conference of the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee from Milan, commenting on the words of Pope Leo XIV, who during the Angelus this morning stressed the importance of the Olympic truce and hoped that come “concrete gestures of relaxation and dialogue”.
“Ice? It is not up to us to deal with or comment on security issues, which is guaranteed by the local authorities.” Thus the President of the CIO answering a question about the presence of the ICE in the US delegation to the Games.
“The situation of the Arena Santagiulia? I’m sure everything will be ready. Is everything done? No, but it’s not essential for the Games. All you need is at the top, and nothing will condition the experience of those who will be there during the Olympics. There are still work to do, but down the hat for those who took care of it, because the work started late.” This was said by the Olympic Games Executive Director of Cio, Christophe Dubi, talking about the state of the work of the Arena Santagiulia a few days before the beginning of the Games. As for the preparations for Olimpiade, President Kirsty Coventry said that “they are good, the team is working hard. We are absolutely in line with the program.”.
On the sale of tickets, Dubi added: “We sold 1.1 million tickets, it’s a great result. There’s only a few tickets left. For the opening ceremony, San Siro will be full, even if it is a huge stadium.”.
