International Online Report (Reporters Zhang Fan, Zhang Guocheng, Chen Jian): On the eve of the departure of the Italian delegation to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Giovanni Marago, President of the Italian Olympic Committee, was interviewed by a reporter from the main station. Malago said that Italy will send a delegation of 122 people to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, looking forward to creating the best Winter Olympic results, and will strengthen winter sports cooperation with China in the future to jointly promote the development of ice and snow sports.

Malago said Italy would send a 122-person delegation to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which is comparable in size to the Pingchang Winter Olympics. Considering that the COVID-19 pandemic has made the process of inbound participation more complicated, this Winter Olympics is actually the best scale for Italy. The Strength of the Italian Delegation at the Winter Olympics is very strong and italian athletes are expected to make history.

Marago pointed out that Italy is very optimistic about the development prospects of China's winter sports industry and appreciates China's ability to learn advanced experience. He affirmed China's great initiative to promote "300 million people on ice and snow" by hosting the Winter Olympic Games, and believed that more people will participate in ice and snow sports in the future. He said that China's vast market will bring high added value to Italy's technical experience, and will also bring more development opportunities for Italian related enterprises. He revealed that in the next four years, China and Italy will also sign a series of sports industry cooperation agreements.

Speaking about last year's newly revised Olympic motto, Marago believes that writing "more unity" into the Olympic motto once again proves to the world that the Olympic Games are a grand event that unites the world. Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo will take over Beijing at the closing ceremony, bringing the Olympic movement back to Italy again.
