ROME (ITALPRESS) – “I have found an extraordinary world, a world rooted in history and tradition, but one that is ready to face new challenges aimed at the professionalism that even this reform of the sport requires. One possibility that I have found is that we can grow together to have new challenges that will lead to results as prestigious as those achieved in these 20 years.” This was said by the newly appointed president of the Italian Weightlifting Federation, Alberto Miglietta, during an interview at the Rome office of Italpress. On the fight against corruption and doping Miglietta adds, “As far as possible we will be even more determined, respect for the rules will be total and absolute. We will fight to continue on this road that has been marked, an enlightened road that at the international level has led and our discipline an example. Also thanks to former president Urso, who is now secretary general of the world federation, there will be the utmost respect, without ifs and buts, of every rule.” Weightlifting Italy is just back from the Paris Olympics where it picked up a medal at the Olympic level with Antonino Pizzolato and one at the Paralympic level with Donato Telesca: “We were hoping for better, needless to say,” Miglietta admitted, “But we are happy with what happened, we sowed well and we have great young champions who can do well in the future. We are thinking not only about the 2028 Olympics, but also the 2032 Olympics.” Fipe’s number one in the past has also served as president of the badminton federation, the only one to have led two Olympic federations, and he was also CEO of Coni Servizi: “This brings me to a perfect knowledge of the sports system in the context of this new path that the sports world must face also as a result of the reform. I bring manageriality to expand what are the capabilities of a federation to do sports activities of the highest level, to train its athletes.” “The idea is to think of the federation as a business that should be structured, monitored and organized exactly as all businesses deserve to be. The world of sports is made up of men and women in the same level starting from what people know how to do well, from their resumes and skills. And we have to take advantage of them and use them to the best of our ability and allow a path for everyone that is a winning path for our federation,” he concluded.- photo Italpress -(ITALPRESS)
