Bormio (Sondrio), 20 February. (LaPresse) – ‘The privilege of the CONI president at these Olympics was to be among the first to embrace the athletes, whether they did well or poorly. After six months of being elected to CONI, experiencing the Olympics like this, I, who was used to living in my world of canoeing, find it incredibly enriching.’ So said CONI president Luciano Buonfiglio, guest on Sky Sport 24. "Let's remember that we are a nation that is three-quarters surrounded by sea. So, when we talk about the Winter Olympics, it means that we are really doing an extraordinary job, mainly the federations, the associated disciplines, the promotional bodies, the sports clubs and the military groups. They have really made a quantum leap in recent years. And there is added value in terms of quality technical support from CONI's Olympic preparation, with research into materials and methodological preparation in terms of health, nutrition and psychology," he added.
