A simple answer to a wish during an interview with TG1 to Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs unleashed the animal-environmentalist sentiment who would like to always look for new testimonials, even those who might not have been thinking about the topics at all so dear to this current. The interview in question ended with the journalist's traditional “good luck” and Jacobs, winner of two gold medals in the flat center meters and in the 4 × 100 relay race in Tokyo 2020, replied with a “Long live the wolf”.
At that point, articles in which the athlete has become the protagonist of an alleged "animal rights turn", when instead this answer has been frequent for some time instead of the classic “Crepi il lupo”. Speaking of greater sensitivity to these issues is frankly out of place, especially when the words spoken are harmless and far too few to be associated with a definitive judgment.
