The popular athlete explodes: It's not just football, there are other sports

Italian swimmer Federica Pellegrin has declared for “Radio 24” that she had made many preparations before deciding to postpone Tokyo 2021.

While expressing concern for her age for next year, Pellegrin points out that she is very ready for the moment when she resumes sports and adds that she should not talk only about football.

When I was preparing the case to start, my hands a little shook, but I was leaving for a good purpose. I wanted to achieve something good in these dark moments for us Italians. We professionals are losing a lot of work”.

A year is not much, but it brings a lot of losses. It is logical that in discussions on general reopening, sports should be considered a major job the country needs. I'm sorry to hear about football, because there are other sports,” Pellegrin said.
