10-10-20. We start again from these unforgettable numbers, with which Italy concluded the memorable and indelible edition of the Olympic Games of Tokyo 2020 (played in 2021 due to the postponement caused by the health emergency). The qualifications towards Paris 2024 they already started last year and will definitively come to life in the coming months.
From what we have seen in 2022, Italy can legitimately harbor the ambition of trying to further improve the already sumptuous haul achieved in Japan. It is clear that the probable absence of Russia and Belarus (but the issue appears far from a definitive solution) could open up further medal chances for the Bel Paese, in particular in sports such as artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, swimming, athletics, wrestling, boxing, fencing and shooting. However, this should not make us underestimate the potential of a tricolor movement which in the past year has highlighted a continuously and decisively growing trend.
But who will be the Italians to count on to get on the podium in France and, possibly, sing the Mameli anthem? Let’s discover them sport by sport with a bag that will keep you company until the Paris Games and which we will constantly update. For each discipline you will find the most concrete candidates for medals, the outsiders and the new faces on the launch pad. Because on OA Sport, as our most loyal readers will know by now, the Olympics don’t last 16 days, but 4 years! Good fun.
