When we began with zero, the number of women competing in the inaugural modern-era Games, we are now at one-forty-nine percent, rounded up by the Olympic committee and the record of female appearances within the blue squad, set to parade in the opening ceremony on July 23.
As of this writing, there are 173 qualified Italians; this is not a destination, but rather a process that involves the trials and triumphs of many people.
A. Lanzi Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
An uphill struggle that has hardened the Tokyo generation: athletes willing to perform for those who could not be there, against the thousand “no” that they inherited and unhinged, and for those who will arrive tomorrow, until there is true parity. They yelled, so you should pay attention to them.
Asia Lanzi, a 19-year-old skateboarder, takes his board to the Olympic Games and rides it freely. He provides his interpretation of the sport of the future, the one the Five Circles hope would entice young people to return to the television set.

Turns that propel sport forward.
