“I am proud of you, I followed you: you are honoring Italy”. Prime Minister Mario Draghi phoned Tokyo at Coni number 1, Giovanni Malagò, to congratulate Italy on the splendid day of Italy at the Olympics. Then he let the two athletes who won the gold medal in athletics pass, first Jacobs, then Tamberi, reiterated his compliments and concluded: “You have been very good, I’ll wait for you at Palazzo Chigi”.
“Great appreciation and satisfaction” come from the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella for today’s two Olympic gold medals. When the head of state – the Quirinal is reminded – handed the flags to the Olympic and Paralympic athletes, it was agreed that those who had won medals would be invited to the Quirinale to receive congratulations and thanks. “These successes in athletics will give even greater significance to that appointment.”
Standing ovation and long applause in the Chamber in the Chamber for the two gold medals obtained by Italy in the high jump and in the hundred meters at the Tokyo Olympics. The deputies, engaged in the general discussion on the reform of justice, followed the races of the two Azzurri, and after Jacobs first crossed the 100-meter finish line with a historic success for Italy, the applause was triggered with standing ovation.
The deputies were in the Chamber discussing procedural issues, before the opening of the discussion on the reform of the criminal trial, when they learned of the two historic gold medals for Italy at the Olympics and were quick to review on smartphones to review the competitions of Tamberi and Jacobs. It was the deputy Pd Filippo Sensi, according to what they say, who started the applause, which resulted in a standing ovation, who celebrated the two victories.
