In team sports, our football team is absent because of the disappointing 2015
European Under-21 tournament. Our
hopes are entrusted to water polo and
men's and women's volleyball.
The Olympics are indeed also a test to
find out the status of the health of the Italians sports system, that has been led for
three and a half years by Giovanni Malagò: these will not only be his first Olympic Games, but also the last before the
decision about the difficult challenge of
the candidacy of Rome as city host of the
2024 Olympic Games.
