For over twenty years praised, praised and rewarded, now driven out by her own environment. Emanuela Maccarani is no longer the technical director of Italian rhythmic gymnasticsthat is, of the “butterflies” that under his guide won everything, world cups, world (7 gold), European and four Olympic medals (silver at Athens 2004 and three bronzes, London 2012, Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024). The news of the non -reconfirmation of the Lombard “Prof”, who had made his academy, Dacia and Roccaforte in Desio, is certainly sensational but had been in the air already for a few weeks while remaining underground
Maccarani, 58 years old, former athlete, very strong character, has made the blue rhythmic gymnastics great from the coach: In fact, from 1996 to today it has been the supreme capable of the absolute sector (previously the junior had followed for some seasons). Twenty -nine years, someone would talk about the dictue considered the subsequent developments, driving an all -female, difficult, complicated sector, where there were to manage the needs of the individual girls, envy and pressures. The ‘Noiè, those linked to sporting and ordinary justice, for Maccarani began in October 2022 Corradini and enough have spoken of harassment, abuse and offenses – physical violence never emerged – which, according to them, influenced the psychological aspect. Everything would have happened around the International Academy of Desio managed by Maccarani and his assistant Olga Tishina.
Federgym tried to buffer, the former President Tecchi tried to shed light with an internal investigation commission – at a press conference the Minister of Sport Abodi and the president of Coni Malagò had also intervened – Desio commissioned but then gave the federal structure in the hands of Maccarani. In short, a story where one procedure closed and another was opened.
Member of the National Council in the Coni, when the story emerged, Maccarani had been self -soups and then returned on October 26, 2023, a month after the warning of the court of the Gymnastics Federation of Italy. (Agi)
