Malagò replies to Binaghi: “I complimented Davis”

“Congratulations to the world of tennis for the Davis Cup? Of course I did them”, Giovanni Malagò thus responds to the accusations of the president of Fitp Angelo Binaghi, according to which the number one of the Coni had not made his support felt after the goals achieved by the racket movement. “If one falls into these traps one does an injustice to sport and to these kids, it is not right not even for a second to overshadow this sporting achievement. I believe that in life you have to fly high and if you do there is nothing worse than ending up in this swamp.”

Malagò, interviewed in the Sala Buzzati of the Corriere della Sera on the occasion of the “Sport Industry Talk” of the RCS Academy, focuses on Sinner and his companions also in view of the Paris Olympics: “Let’s start with the forty medals in Tokyo, which is our absolute record, and meanwhile other nations have arrived that can take them away from us. We expect something to come from tennis. However, the objective is to repeat 2021, if not on quality, then at least on the quantity of medals.”

It is also inevitable to talk about the subsequent Games, the winter ones which will be hosted by Milan and Cortina. Malagò does not hide and confirms his words. “They will be the best Olympics ever, I say this because it is part of my nature and considering my experience. If you ask any protagonist of the 2009 World Swimming Championships in Rome, everyone will tell you that they were the best.” A passage also on infrastructures: “In this country since Cortina 1956, through Rome 1960 and Italia ’90, there has no longer been a decent sports facility financed entirely by the public. To do so it is necessary that the private individual wants it and so does the local authority, which however must remain in office until the event. This Government has everything to put the private sector in a position to carry out the works.”
