ROME (ITALPRESS) – High expectations and consequently high goals. The Olympic and Paralympic archery team that will compete at the Paris 2024 Olympics was presented in the Hall of Honor of the Coni, aiming to extend and further enhance the great tradition of medals at the Five Rings: “Archery has returned to the forefront of the Olympic world – declared the president of the Coni, Giovanni Malagò -. I know very well the commitment of the federation and the technicians. We have high expectations, to do something more than in Tokyo we need the archery federation”. The president of Fitarco, Mario Scarzella, spoke of a great “sense of responsibility”: “Leading a federation that has not stopped climbing onto the podium for so many Olympics and Paralympics means having maximum commitment towards the boys. I am proud of my boys, they are strong and also in Paris they have great possibilities. I don’t want to cause anxiety by saying one, two or three medals, because anything can happen, but I’m sure that they will fight until the end to get on the podium.”
“In Paris we are aiming for important results, in the knowledge that after Tokyo the bar has been raised a lot. It is not easy, but I am convinced that the bow will not fail to make its contribution”, reiterated the president of the CIP, Luca Pancalli, who then underlined “the uniqueness of this discipline in allowing our Paralympic athletes to compete on equal terms with their Olympic colleagues”. The Italian team will be composed of four archers at the Olympics (three men and one woman) and nine archers at the Paralympics (three men and six women). Among the former is also Mauro Nespoli, a veteran of the expedition having already won the team silver in Beijing 2008, the team gold in London 2012 and the individual silver in Tokyo 2020: “I am not superstitious, so I renew my commitment to everyone: we will go to Paris with the aim of winning, we will not settle for less”, he stated.
