The regional office of the Friuli Venezia Region held on January 29th, 2010 a press conference in Udine to introduce the athletes from this part of Italy who will be taking part in the upcoming Vancouver Winter Olympics.
The special highlight of the conference was cross-country skier and twice Olympic gold medal winner, Giorgio Di Centa, who will be Italy’s official flag-bearer at the opening ceremonies in Vancouver. On hand was also his sister Manuela, a cross-country skier, gold-medal winner herself (five medals: two gold, two silver and one bronze) and also a member of the International Olympic Committee (she’s smiling in the middle of the picture between a journalist and Luca Ciriani, the vice-president of the FVG region).
