 Among the triumphs of the Italian athletes at Beijing 2008 , that of Valentina Vezzali, Giovanna Trillini and Josefa Idem have an added value.
We talk about mothers athletes, then about women who, although they have reorganized their lives, have not renounced to compete and, crowning of their sacrifices, they have stepped on to the Olympic podium again.
Engaged and winning.
The legendary thrust that has won Valentina the third consecutive gold, the bronze in Team fencing that has taken away the bitter taste in the mouth of Giovanna, the silver of Josefa, at a breath from the gold, with the final verdict of the fotofinish, in canoe K1 500, are victories that will leave their mark.
On the life of Italian athletes in the first place, which for years are waiting for protection, so that their right to be mothers will be respected by the federations, and even supported, on the so positive example of Federscherma (the fencing federation).
On the conscience of all Italian women then, already frightened by the idea of motherhood.
Behind the victories of Valentina, Giovanna and Josefa there is a daily training, but also the cries and the smiles of their children, the fairy tales and the lullabies, the din-dins and the shopping for the schoolbag, the “I have not a minute to spare” to be punctual at work and “I have absolutely to do a wee”…
Just as there are the joys and the sorrows, the cheerful moments and that of discouragement, the regenerating hug and the fatigue, the fear of failing and then the tender kiss that infuses the courage to continue to fight.
If there is a lesson to be learned from Valentina, Giovanna and Josefa, is that nothing is impossible and that even the mothers, or especially the mothers with their grit and determination, can win.
We of Italy Family Hotels have rejoiced at the victories of these Olympic mothers.
Now we continue to be a fan of all the mothers that, courageous and engaged in life and at work, manage to make of every day a small, great, victory.
The greatest satisfactions will come soon. arininchi
