Italy made a new Olympic record: the organisation of the World Championships in record time. This is a miracle and demonstrates the efficiency of the sports system in Italy.
These are the best kudos the organisers of 2020 UCI Road World Championships Imola – Emilia-Romagna received from Thomas Bach, the International Olympic Committee. The top personality in the sports worlwide did not want to miss the first World Championships in Covid era, which were organised in less than a month. Despite the extremely short time and the difficulties imposed by the virus spread, the men and the women, headed by Marco Pavarini and Marco Selleri, received unanimous praise. The success of the event stems from the passion that every one of them put into this impossibile enteprise that became not only possible, but a benchmark for future sporting events, as Mr. Bach himself confirmed.
