An evening of great participation, an important comparison in which the Fiöi and Fie of Cuneo Volley participated with their families, various sports clubs (particularly Judo) and local institutions, sporting and otherwise. Around 200 spectators gathered in the Cuneo sports hall for the first meeting in 2025 of the Fiöi project linked to the “Personal training” of young athletes. Thanks to the collaboration with Bellerofonte events, it was possible to open the event to all citizens free of charge.
The first guest to discuss and talk about her life experience, both sporting and otherwise, is Odette Giuffrida, reigning 52kg Judo world champion and former Olympic medalist in Rio and Tokyo. One emotion after another, because behind the victories there are many defeats, there is a lot of suffering, a lot of tenacity. The promise to her grandmother to become world champion, the disappointment of the nine times in which she did not succeed, multiplied and transformed into joy when in 2024 in Abu Dhabi she became World Champion. Presenting the evening and interviewing the champion, Ilaria Blangetti journalist at La Stampa, who was able to involve and excite: «Certainly what struck me about her story was the clarity with which she talks about what she has experienced and knows how to give a name to the emotions that they went through it both in victories, but also and above all in difficult moments. Above all, I felt the empathy he exudes and the serenity of his sporting experience.
