CONI has chosen: Francesca Lollobrigida will be the standard-bearer of Italy for the closing ceremony

After the Goggia-Moioli "relay", it will be another of the many winning women of the blue sport to bring the tricolor, next Sunday at the Olympic stadium in Beijing. Malagò: "A recognition also for the Ice Sports Federation".

Michela Moioli should have been there, but we all know what happened with Sofia Goggia's injury, which led the snowboarder to "anticipate" her descent with the tricolor in hand, as standard bearer at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, last February 4th. And so, for the closing one scheduled for next Sunday, at 13.00 Italian time, it will be another great woman of the winter disciplines, in her specific case from the world of speed skating, to have this honor. CONI has formalized the choice of Francesca Lollobrigida for this role, with the Roman champion already silver in the 3000 meters and on the assault of another medal on Saturday, in "her" mass start, after touching other Olympic podiums with the fourth place in 5000 and sixth in 1500. “A fair recognition for what Francesca has done so far in Beijing - the words of Giovanni Malagò - and also a spur for what she will have to do in the coming days. I believe that this is also a necessary signal of attention to the Ice Sport federation and its president Andrea Gios, who have honored these Games by winning important successes for the Italia Team ”.
