The first of Italy’s forty record medals were the fencer Samele, silver in the saber, and Dell’Aquila, gold in taekwondo. Important results then arrived in various disciplines, from cycling to weightlifting, passing through swimming, judo, rowing, saber, archery, boxing, up to high jump, athletics, sailing, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics. The history of Italian sport writes an unforgettable page in this turbulent post-pandemic 2021.
Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the 40 medals of Italy: from Samele to blue butterflies. And Coni will pay the winners 6.6 million euros
The flurry of blue medals at the Tokyo Olympics – explains the AGI news agency – should cost the Coni about six million and 600 thousand euros. For this edition of the Games, the prizes for the Italian athletes who get on the podium have been increased by 20% gross, bringing them to 180 thousand euros for gold, 90 thousand for silver and 60 thousand for bronze. Also calculating team competitions such as relay races and rowing crews, the 39 blue medals translate into 66 prizes, of which 18 for gold, 16 for silver and 32 for bronze. For the noblest medals there will therefore be an expense of three million and 240 thousand euros, for silvers one million and 440 thousand, for bronzes just under two million.
