Rome, 22 May (LaPresse) – "It has been four wonderful and important years, always complicated. I believe there has never been such unity within sport, I hope it can continue and that our world can become even more united. I hope that those who come after me can continue to maintain unity in the world of sport. The results and prestige of CONI today speak for themselves. I am leaving a prestigious CONI with great results and various events to make this country great.‘ These were the words of Giovanni Malagò, president of CONI, during the last council meeting he chaired. ’What is the prevailing feeling? Life must be accepted, I am at peace. Today, pride prevails, not bitterness. The beauty of being president of a public body is that you have two mothers or two fathers, which are the IOC and the government. I hope that those who come after me will continue to maintain unity in the world of sport. CONI's prestige today speaks for itself," he added.
