A press conference took place in the Park Hotel with Daniele Sottile, who came back from the olympic Games with a silver medal around his neck. « We have started to work, I needed a little break with my family but from Monday I was back full speed. I have a feeling this will be an extremely tough championship, the level has gone up, we’ll have to fight every Sunday, but that does not scare us. We have to create this fighting spirit mentality with everyone, create this excitement which makes it very difficult for the opponents. As for Rio, I brought a lot with me, beyond the medal. This is the best atmosphere an athlete can dream of, the sensations are unique in the Olympic Games. Having lunch with over 5000 champions, with all the colours, nations, being next to Djokovic, Nadal, the NBA champs and Bolt is an emotion that is difficult to put in words ».
