AWARDED BY CAIRO - Jacobs is awarded by the president of RCS Mediagroup Urbano Cairo, who has a soft spot for the blue sprinter: 'I'm crazy about him, he's extraordinary'. It is an emotional fact, of course, but also a little… commercial: “I rejoiced for European gold, Jacobs makes us sell at the top”, underlined the president. Benedetta Pilato, 17, from Taranto, an extraordinarily talented breaststroke operator, was instead awarded by fellow citizen Simona Ruggieri (of Unipol). And she teased – with a quiz on the driving license (Benedetta will turn 18 in January) – by Cucciari, who in the end promotes Benedetta: “You deserve the pink sheet …”.

THE SHARKS – And if Vincenzo Nibali, known as the Shark, adds the Legend SeeSicily to his bulletin board, the prize for the performance of the year – presented by Giovanni Malagò – goes to the inimitable Gregorio Paltrinieri, amazing in the fresh water of the pools and in that salty sea. “What do I think about when I swim? Concentrated on what I have to do. I learned to dodge jellyfish. I would like to promote open water swimming in Sicily. It is important to swim without destroying the sea”, Greg's deposition.
