“Absolutely not, I’m a serious person.”
“Is it possible that after these results and a few months before Milan-Cortina, I am not in a position to stand up again and the others as well?” Giovanni Malago, on Rete4’s Zona Bianca, clashes again with the government on the issue of term limits and his re-nomination at the head of Coni.

Only one body of these corrections was left: CONI. Starting from the assumption that to be elected, you must obtain at least 67% of the votes, and as Prime Minister Meloni has always said, the people who vote for you must be the ones who govern, it is possible that no one will be able to run again. And others could, after obtaining these results and with Milan-Cortina on the horizon?” Finally, Malagó closed the discussion on the possibility of running for mayor of Rome or for the presidency of the Italian Football Federation: “Absolutely not. I am a serious person. My term ends in May 2025, as

Malagò returns to the subject based on the excellent results of the Italian mission to Paris 2024. “We have become champions through the comprehensive work of the federations, the technical part and the athletes, coordinated by CONI with its high-level preparations.

Volleyball gold and the new “Italian”
Italfogli’s gold for ladies became the flag of the new Italian spirit, despite General Roberto Fanacci’s statements: “Everyone does their job, Fanacci can think what he thinks but Igono is very Italian.

The Caliphate Case
The case that dominated the Olympics, that of boxer Khalifa, who is also accused by the right-wing government of being a man, has been closed. Compared to Meloni and Salvini, “we are doing two different jobs. From our point of view, we must ask ourselves who should judge”, “the sports bodies have judged that she has the characteristics of a woman’s competition.
