Sport has suffered in various ways over the last two years and for this reason it must remain alive but at the same time children must play sports safely.
But there is no need for panic, no exaggeration and of course no rest.
Sport means respect, trust and composure. With these three principles, all those involved in sports must show the whole society the way out of the crisis. Respect for institutions, trust in experts and composure in our decisions. This is the debt and the power of sports. This is the debt and the responsibility of us all.
