Where does the audacity that is needed to perform “the feat” come from in the lives of young, talented sportspeople? How do you takeup the challenge of competing and beating your opponents and, often, your own limits? What models do these young people look up to? How do they remain clear-headed and determined, knowing that one mistake can compromise the hard work and effort of years of training? What are the values that cannot be abandoned? And how does your relationship with the public and with success change, if at all, your everyday life? An interview and a wide-ranging dialogue with the new protagonists of Italian sport.
