The medals are counted, but they are also weighed. And one, perhaps more than others, weighed among those won by the Italian team in Paris. “Women’s volleyball had never won even a bronze. I join in the gratitude of this incredible world of Italian volleyball”. Thus the president of Coni John Malago during the ‘CapolavOro’ ceremony, celebration of the Olympic gold in Paris 2024 in women’s volleyball, at the Lateran Palace, in Rome. “The fact of meeting President Mattarella” she recalled Myriam Sylla“her enveloping words, made us feel the weight of this medal even more. Today, seeing the whole team again, the staff, I started to achieve a little more, then I don’t know when. Maybe never, I don’t know. I’ll keep going like this, in four years I’ll still tell you the same sentence. I’m trying to achieve. Is it hard to confirm yourself? I don’t know, I don’t know. It’s the first time I’ve won an Olympics. I think it won’t happen again for me because in Los Angeles, I’m saying it here, I won’t be there. The others, the younger ones, will find out. We’ll see and we’ll ask them, but with this group I believe that nothing is impossible because for me we are truly superheroes together. Now I’m 29 years old. In four years, will I not play anymore? Let’s see, maybe I’ll change my mind.” , added the spiker, a true moral leader of the Italian national team.

Egonu: “Ready for Dancing with the Stars? We’ll see”
“Am I training for Milly Carlucci and Dancing with the Stars?” jokes Paola Egonu: “We’ll see, that’s another story, I can’t anticipate anything”. Then, visibly moved: “Today I saw these images five times and every time I cried – said the opposite, best player of the Olympic tournament -, thank you all for allowing us to achieve this extraordinary result”.
Velasco: “Confirming yourself is difficult”
Julio Velasco’s happiness is already full of the future: “Confirming yourself is difficult, those who have to push are the technical staff and the coach, but this is a special, extraordinary group. I want to thank my colleagues who train the girls during the year and we must all grow together to repeat that it will be very hard”.
