(Adnkronos) - "La pandemia è stato momento di grandissima difficoltà per lo sport, tante associazioni sportive hanno chiuso. Come istituzioni sportive abbiamo ricevuto dei sostegni da parte sia del Governo, quello precedente e quello attuale e questo ci ha dato la possibilità di poter aiutare le associazioni. Il sistema sportivo ha bisogno delle istituzioni”. Così Claudio Barbaro, presidente delle Associazioni sportive e sociali italiane (Asi), intervenendo alla cerimonia di consegna dei riconoscimenti della 19esima edizione del Premio Asi ‘Sport&Cultura’, al Salone d’Onore del Coni a Roma.

00:00We are now becoming a moment for the world of sport, classic I would dare to say, there are different disciplines in the race or rather the sections in the race, we have given for a few years on this side a split of everything that can be represented in the world of sport, starting from the
00:26technical innovation to the athletic gestures, both in terms of pure sportsmanship and related to ethical aspects as in the specific case of Daniele Rossi. Today we are celebrating the 19th edition and we are working to make sure that the 20th can be even more beautiful.
00:47Italian sport has had a very difficult time, it would be foolish to deny it, many sports associations have closed, the numbers that could have compensated for the loss of these sports associations still do not comfort us because we are, I do not say distant, but in any case much lower in size compared to the number of associations that have joined, compared to those that have left.
01:17I must say that from the first moment of dissent, which was that of post covid, then in the end sport has shown an ability to rise and to repropose itself to levels that have known for a long time, that frankly we knew, we knew, we as a sports institution did everything, we also had supports from both the government, which preceded with the Turkish government, the Italian government and the Italian government.
01:47and this has given us the opportunity to be able to help associations,
01:54let's not forget that the Italian sporting system is based on associations.
01:59Until the institutions understand that they will have to do everything
02:05to put in safety the real treasure of Italian sport,
02:10we will always have some problems.
02:12Of course, we can count on the availability of enthusiasts, volunteers,
02:17on the professional ability of these, but we need institutions.
