(Adnkronos) - “Penso che il supporto delle aziende, come il Gruppo Bracco, sia importantissimo. Gli atleti hanno vita breve, saranno poi i cittadini del mondo, cittadini dell'Italia e lavoratori. Pertanto, è fondamentale intraprendere entrambe le carriere, quella sportiva e quella di studio all'università, in quanto formerà persone, lavoratori e cittadini migliori”. Lo spiega Caterina Banti, campionessa olimpica vela, alla cerimonia di premiazione della settima edizione del riconoscimento ‘Donna Sport: l’atleta più brava a scuola’, con cui Gruppo Bracco celebra le giovani atlete che oltre all’impegno per lo sport mantengono alto e costante anche quello scolastico. Dal lancio del progetto all’edizione 2024, patrocinata dal Coni e dal Comitato italiano paralimpico, si sono iscritte oltre 1500 atlete. Le vincitrici sono state premiate alla presenza della dottoressa Diana Bracco, delle istituzioni e di grandi atlete al Teatrino di Palazzo Visconti a Milano.

00:00In my opinion, studying is fundamental, because it gives you a method, it gives you tools and teaches you how to organize your life, it gives you a method that will serve you for the rest of your life, but above all in sport, because sport is a method, sport is discipline.
00:19Going to school well will make you do well in sport and going to school well will make you do well in sport, so I think it is fundamental, especially from a young age, to teach boys, to push boys to undertake both careers, even later, for university, also because sport lives short, so certainly for the sports career, a degree is fundamental.
00:46I think that the support of the company, as I said, athletes have a short life, they will be citizens of the world, citizens of Italy and workers, so undertaking both careers, the sports one and the university one, is fundamental because it will train better people, better workers and better citizens.
01:08I won the gold medal in Paris, I won the gold medal in Tokyo, I won the gold medal in Paris, in the Vela, I retired from competitive activity, of a high level because I am 37 years old, so it is right now to undertake new paths and undertake a work career.
01:24I graduated, I studied at Trennare la magistrale, I graduated with 110 honors, in Oriental languages, in Islamic studies, I will start studying again next year as a master at LUIS, an olympic management course, so I hope to give my work contribution to the world of Vela, but also to the world of sport in general.
