Sportweek, Paola Egonu: “I am myself, at any cost”

The blue champion tells everything about herself: “I was a naughty little girl but very happy. Now I’m very satisfied with me, but if I’m sick I’ll call my mother. I’ll go to play away from Italy, but it’s not goodbye …”

If each of us has a virtue, his is courage. To tell himself for what he is, including high, low, panic attacks and frailty. Even when he hurts (as the racism he felt on his skin hurts). And keep doing it, even when it makes noise (as a girlfriend can make noise in an Italian women’s locker room). Paola Egonu, the strongest Italian volleyball player in circulation, opposite of Imoco Conegliano, always says what she thinks. And she crushes like no one. Even prejudices.
