We are along with other 300 people at Nuovo Cinema Italia to meet Marco Olmo, the great champion of the extreme running who in spite of his age - he is 59 year old - got the Mont Blanc Tour for the 2nd time in succession. The programme of the event - organised by Riccardo Ridolfi and Lorenzo Piccardo, in cooperation with the Municipal Sports Office - foresees the showing of two movies on Marco Olmo's during his adventure at Desert Cup and mont Blanc Tour in addition to a talk with this great champion. We are astonished at this man's semplicity who seems to be sceptical at any sports drinks. He feeds on Vegan diet ("it is a choice, not to kill" as he specifies)  and produces his personal changes to any choose made according the most innovating techintechnics before every race. The hall which gaves us hospitality is not much large and that is a chance to watch our champion's  eyes. We notice they are sparkle with joy when he speaks of his trainings in his loved mountains and he speaks of the time in his childhood he used to went over fields and pastures. A feeling of sincere emotion pervades all the public. this man make us understand the simplicity is the secreat to make great things. On the occasion, the councillor for Sports and Leisure gives the announcement of the Gran Trail Rensen next year and Marco Omo will be the the longer for outsider. Marco acepts also the role of testiomonial for the 24rd edition of the "mare e Monti" walk. a way to to double-loch himself with our mountains.
