Milan, 18 February (LaPresse) – "There are still many competitions in which we could potentially win medals, but we are delighted. The medals won by those girls who, just a few hours earlier, did not know if they would be able to compete obviously have a different flavour. The IOC is showering us with compliments, but there are still five days to go, including the closing ceremony, so we're keeping our feet on the ground.‘ These were the words of Giovanni Malagò, president of Fondazione Milano Cortina, during his visit to Casa Italia in Milan. When asked if the model of popular Games was a winning one, Malagò replied: ’So far, it has exceeded our wildest expectations." .
