IL GIRO D’ITALIA

Giro D’Italia in Milazzo

This year a stage of the Giro d’Italia was in our small town, Milazzo. In fact, for this occasion many people were unable to go to work or school due to the race, which blocked all roads. Together with our friends, as we were interested in this event, went to Marina Garibaldi, to see the departure of the cyclists. We had a lot of fun and cheered for Lorenzo Fortunato. Arnaud Demare won the 5th stage, the Catania-Messina (178 kilometres), while the Austrian Jai Hindley won the pink Jersey in the final stage in Verona on the 29th of May.

The atmosphere in the streets of Milazzo was magnificent. People were very excited. Many were foreigners, mostly Germans and French. And there were some famous people too. After this event, cycling became one of our favorite sports.

The History of the Giro D’Italia

The birth of the “Giro d’Italia” was made official on 24 August 1908, with the promise of 25,000 lire as a prize to the winner and the desire to organize “one of the most coveted and important events in international cycling”.

 

The main purpose of every runner in the Giro d’Italia is to complete the entire route in the shortest time possible. The competition, in fact, draws up a timed ranking for all participants and the ranking is determined on the basis of the race times recorded by each cyclist, whoever has the shortest time will win.

The world of gymnastics

After lockdown, we went through one of the darkest times, but sport has helped us to keep going. Many athletes have fought to get back to training, with the risk of falling ill. To date, sport has become essential for everyone, especially for our Alisya Formica from the IIAL, who practices Artistic Gymnastics with passion and a lot of will. We interviewed her for our readers:

At the moment I only think about improving in this sport, so I hope to be able to compete at higher levels than the levels of today

I would like to start doing gymnastic elements that have always scared me and I would like to do them with more confidence

What do you believe to be one of your weaknesses and what are you doing to improve it?

One of my weaknesses in gymnastics is the beam, it has always scared me a lot since I fell from it but I will always try to make these fears disappear and improve especially in that.

My strengths are most likely my being positive in the things I do and always trying to do my best in everything

QUESTIONS TO GIOVANNI!!!

Why are you so passionate about playing sports?

I am very passionate about sports and especially  football, because I like it very much and it is good for my health.

What footballer did you get inspired by and who is your football idol?

I am very undecided because there have been many footballers who I was inspired by such as Joao Cancelo, Alexander-Arnold and in the past Maldini. Instead speaking of my idol I have no doubts, Alessandro Del Pietro

What is your favorite jersey number?

 My favorite shirt number and the one I’m wearing, number 3; great champions such as Maldini, Roberto Carlos and Chiellini wore them.

Describe your worst sports performance. What did you learn from this experience?

My worst game was about a year ago. when I left school after getting 4 in physics, and on  the same day I had to go to the game, but I was not at all concentrated.  In fact after 10 minutes, I scored an own goal and then I got a red card, but from this experience I understood that you must always pay attention to everything you do, especially when you play sports, giving maximum concentration to the game.

What does your daily routine look like?

I wake up every day at 6 a.m because I have to take the bus to go to school, where I stay until 2pm. I get home, I eat, I do my homework until 4:30 and from 5p.m to 8p.m I train. When I finish my homework, I’m smashed and at midnight I go to bed.

How did you feel after winning the playoff final?

I was very happy, because I was able to help the team both in the final match and in the season.
