Abodi 'major events opportunity to bring all sports on the same line'

"Major events are an opportunity and we invest a lot in this, just think of what we have done with Milan Cortina, Taranto, the Winter Youth Olympic Games that will take place. We want to bring all sports on the same line to combat sedentary lifestyle first and foremost." The minister for sport and youth, Andrea Abodi, said this via video link to Elle Active.

"We have done a lot in recent years and the first steps forward come from the Constitution - he added -. Then we invested a lot in schools, reinstated the Youth Games with a mirror program between boys and girls".

Finally, a passage on the trust of the young people to be gained and on the 'Run Libera' initiative. "Trust must be earned and for the institutions it must be a guiding principle - he explained -. I have an idea of ​​the role entrusted to me and it starts from a sense of duty, from meeting and listening. We cannot ask young people to get closer, we must be an element of proximity. The offer of opportunities is also essential, because the principles to be enunciated are not enough".

Run free is "a symbolic run or walk that arises from a painful chronicle of feminicides and gender violence. I hope that on Sunday 15th many will run to the Colosseum for a commitment that cannot be that of one morning", Abodi's conclusions.
