OLYMPIC REFLECTIONS

Olympic Giochi is turning to the term and all we still have in the eyes grandissime the enterprises of athletes which Julia Quintavalle in the Judo and Mauro Sarmiento in the Taekwondo. Today all, journalists of the printed publication paper and the television, are enthusiastic, osannano these athletes and these disciplines. But till some day ago how much space has been given to the martial limbs? How many journalists spoke, during presentation, of athletes which Quintavalle and Sarmento? Personally not of memory some. Today all gridano to the miracle and the beauty of these disciplines. I find the Concorde with the Dottor Giacomo Spartaco Bertoletti that, being on the field, in those of Beijing, feels humors of all and when it says that, second it, between some day, all will forget itself about the Taekwondo and the Judo, I cannot that to agree totally with he. But when the athletes of the martial limbs go up on the podio and make so that, with their victories, it comes intonato the Hymn of Mameli, then all enjoy and are satisfied. And then? Why it does not come given the just merit to wonderful and educational disciplines and athletes who sacrifice themselves and suffer, they are engaged and they sudano and, above all, it gives to example of seriousness and abnegation? I augur myself that this can happen and us is less hypocrisy from all, in the sense that do not boast determined disciplines when it is gained and then it forgets about they during all the four years to us that separate a Olimpiade from the other. In the context of this Olympic Giochi of Beijing, a Torneo di Wushu has been carried out parallel, but nobody of it has spoken (as if it had not existed), nevertheless three Italian athletes have participated also: Michele Giordano, Xu Huihui and Ambra Vielmi, but nobody of it has made mention, as if of the illustrious ones they were disowned. This means that the Martial Limbs will have to always be considered smaller sports? Perhaps because the massmedia have greater interest to speak and to write of sport arcinoti and miliardari? But the Hymn of Mameli, when the Italian flag comes raised on the higher device, not ago some distinction between a discipline and the other. Auguries boys of the Martial Limbs, auguries and semper to maiora.
