“The work done by the managers of the FITAV and by the athletes it is a source of pride for the Italians and us among them. Representing a hunting association we are particularly proud. We present our congratulations on the election of the new executive bodies of CONI and the confirmation of the President Malagò; we hope they will allow an ever richer medal table and a greater attention of the state to amateur and social sport. We wish a fruitful work in simplifying the representation of the CONI Federations, so that from the reflection approved in the Commissions of the previous Council we arrive at the practical unification of Federations that pursue similar sporting purposes, including those that are interested in skeet shooting activities and, in any case, on artificial clay targets and shapes, are the most unifiable in the governing bodies and in the sports clubs, also corresponding to the guidelines of the recent updated sports legislation.
The decision taken for the presence in the Board of the President of FITAV Luciano Rossi can make a contribution to the unity of these disciplines and to the best representation of sport shooting to the country and to the new generations. Also many practitioners of the hunting activity are amateur athletes attending, for amateur and competitive purposes, the shooting ranges, thus acquiring, among other notions, and practice for greater safety in the use of sporting weapons.
We will be attentive and excited fans of the Italian athletes who will be at the Olympics and we will be allowed particular closeness for the shooters who will hold up the flag already with the presence of Jessica Rossi, choice as standard bearer. A recognition also to the Italian sporting gun industry, at the forefront of technology and safety. Forza Italia "(Arch Hunting).
