Top South Tyrolean athletes Jannik Sinner and Simone Giannelli were also in the raffle. Ultimately, the decision was made for Gianmarco Tamberi (high jumping) and Arianna Errigo (fencing), who will carry the Italian flag in Paris on July 26th. “This is recognition for the achievements of these two athletes, but also for their sports,” explained CONI President Giovanni Malagó.
Tamberi became Olympic high jump champion in 2021 and world champion last year. At 2,39 meters he also holds the Italian outdoor record. Errigo is a fencer in the foil category. The 35-year-old was also an Olympic and world champion.
