From Rome to Tokyo passing through California, with the dream in his pocket of becoming the Olympic skakeboard champion at the age of 17 in a sport that "offers a unique feeling of light-heartedness, freedom and pure adrenaline". Alessandro Mazzara is very young and exudes the joy of living and having fun from all pores, who has clear ideas and that healthy boldness that can take him far away. So far away but so close as to ask the mayor of Rome to bring her beloved sport to all the districts of the capital: "What would you recommend to Raggi in terms of facilities to bring young people closer to skate? In Rome it has always been difficult to train because there is a lack of structures and consequently also the scene that gives you that foment that you need so much in skateboarding. In recent months something is also happening in Romesee the new park in ostia and these days' World Cup.
However, I would suggest to the mayor to create structures and areas equipped for skateboarding in every neighborhood of Rome, for young people and families, to ensure that he is not forced to go to California. Finally, I would recommend building an indoor facility to be able to skate and train even in winter ".
The Roman champion after the last stage of the Dew Tour of Des Moines in Iowa (USA), waiting for the official announcement, is among the top 20 of the ranking and therefore almost certain to be able to remove his pass for the Games, the ones that score the debut for the first time in the Olympic history of skateboarding. "I am going to the Tokyo Olympics - admits the Red Bull athlete - with the ambition to have fun and, why not, also to take home a medal. The opponents I fear most can be anyone but none". When and how the passion for skate was born and how did you understand that you were so strong? "About ten years ago - he says - I was about 7 years old and my father took my brother and me to a skatepark in Rome Cinecittà, close to home. It was a passion right from the start and my father could not take us away from that place.
We spent whole days. From there then dad started taking us around in other skateparks, first in Italy then in Europe and 10 years in California ".
