Scarzella: “The medals and more: archery makes you fall in love”

At the end of the 2021 season, the federal president took stock of the season, also talking about the contributions assigned to the Fitarco da Sport e Salute for 2022 and the 60 years of winning history of the institution

This long and difficult 2021 is closing and the president Fitarco Mario Scarzella has taken stock of the season which, despite the pandemic, has brought great competitive results and more. The Federation has been included by Sport and Health among the most virtuous ones and for this reason it has obtained an increase in funds for 2022. 2021 is also the season that marks the sixtieth anniversary of the federation. The time has come to celebrate, but Scarzella is keen to look to the future anyway. His desire is to exploit the visibility of Olympic successes to make known as much as possible a sport that “makes those who try it fall in love”.

Tokyo 2020

“Tokyo was a really important stage for our world. We had never won so much as in Japan, we returned home with five medals, two Olympic and three Paralympic. I must congratulate Mauro Nespoli and Lucilla Boari and again with the mixed team composed of Mijno-Travisani, with Maria Andrea Virgilio and Enza Petrilli for the medals at the Paralympic Games. Now we must not miss this opportunity to bring visibility and more and more people to archery, a sport that makes those who try it fall in love “And while it turns 60 this December, studded with many successes, the federation is ready to embark on the path that will lead the Italian archers to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It is good not to lose the habit of arriving on the podium …” Many years have passed since I have been president – says Scarzella – and I must say thanks to the base, to the directors who supported and endured me, to the regional committees, to the companies and to the public administration. articulate to the athletes and to all the volunteers who have worked for archery. In the last period we have been one of the federations with the most satisfaction from the point of view of results. I must say thanks to those who helped us, to the presidents of Coni Gianni Petrucci first and Giovanni Malagò then, to president Pancalli and also to undersecretary Vezzali: everyone believed in our federation and we made sure to repay this trust “.

Virtuous federation

Sport and Health, with the division of contributions to the federations, also rewarded the work of Fitarco. “We have made grassroots and high-level sport two of our pillars: I don’t know if we have been rewarded for this, I want to examine the data – explained Scarzella – I have never contested the algorithms used, we have always adapted in sharing the choices and the same thing I do now, regardless of the results. There will be happy and discontented, I just want to understand where Sport and Health wants to bring our world: whoever made the breakdown has certainly studied, will have wanted to reward those who have done basic activities and development and we have never stopped working to promote archery. In fact, we have never lost memberships, on the contrary our numbers have increased “.
