Description

Dopo aver raccontato come amavano i romani e i greci, in che modo vivevano politica e religione, nascita e morte, qual era la struttura della società, delle case e delle famiglie, Eva Cantarella non poteva far mancare ai lettori – nell’anno dei Giochi di Rio de Janeiro – una storia delle Olimpiadi antiche. Perché, se è noto che a Olimpia si incontravano ogni quattro anni i migliori atleti dell’Ellade, sono pochi a sapere – per esempio – quanto duravano i Giochi, che cos’era la tregua sacra, o che a Olimpia esisteva un vero e proprio albergo per atleti e allenatori, oltre che per i tifosi più abbienti (ebbene sì, c’erano anche i tifosi). Per non parlare di questioni più complesse, quali la nascita del professionismo e il venir meno degli ideali eroici; il rapporto tra eros e atletismo; le gare falsate (il doping non esisteva ancora, ma la scorrettezza e la corruzione sì). E come sempre, nella affabile e sapiente rievocazione di Eva Cantarella, gli antichi si rivelano molto più simili a noi di quanto pensassimo.Ettore Miraglia, giornalista della “Gazzetta dello Sport”, ripercorre invece la storia dei Giochi moderni, a partire dall’edizione di Atene del 1896 voluta dal barone de Coubertin: affronta temi scottanti come il boicottaggio (Montréal ’76, Mosca ’80, Los Angeles ’84) e il doping – passando per le Olimpiadi “mancate” (Berlino ’16, Tokyo ’44, Londra ’48) e Settembre Nero (Monaco ’72) – e introduce i Giochi di Rio offrendo, insieme alla presentazione delle quarantadue discipline olimpiche, il calendario delle gare. Completa il testo una piccola raccolta di “storie parallele” in cui campioni dell’antichità vengono accostati a campioni del presente – come i due velocisti Crissone e Usain Bolt, lontanissimi eppure vicinissimi.
