From Alex Schwazer to Federica Pellegrini, it will be the sportiest Sanremo ever

Alex Schwazer in Sanremo. Amadeus invited him. The walker will be a guest on the second evening – Wednesday 3 March – of the Festival. Schwazer will tell his story and the dream of participating in the Tokyo Olympics next summer. A sort of moral compensation for an athlete who only a few days ago saw his innocence recognized by justice, after a battle that lasted years and was not without torments and poisons.

“We want to restore dignity and visibility to a great sportsman who for five years was banned from the competition fields due to a doping accusation that proved to be unfounded”, said Amadeus, making the presence of the blue official.

Schwazer – gold in the march to the Beijing Games in 2008 and disqualified in 2016 until 2024 – a week ago he revised the light. The investigating judge of Bolzano has dismissed the criminal charges against him. It wasn’t doping. The charges relating to the eve of the 2016 Games were based on manipulated test tubes.

On the Ariston stage, Schwazer will start the run-up to the Tokyo Games next summer. Everything is still possible. The South Tyrolean – married with two small children – will not be the only sportsman in Sanremo. Indeed, this year – without an audience – will be an edition characterized by the presence of many sports champions. The Milan center forward will be there for the entire duration of the Festival Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will sing a song with his friend and Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Great expectations for Saturday evening, when it will be the turn of the “Divina”, Federica Pellegrini. The Venetian champion is a return. She had already been to the Ariston in 2012, in the edition conducted by Gianni Morandi. Even Pellegrini is still in the running to get a pass for the Tokyo Olympics. With her there will be another excellence of Italian sport, the skier Alberto Tomba. To give news of her presence, Federica posted on Instagram a photo from a few years ago that portrays her with Tomba, accompanying her with an ironic warning:I tell you already … If you make me fall off THAT ladder I will kill you …».
