The introductory greeting of the FISI President, Flavio Roda touched on one of the hottest topics: "We are heading towards an important year, the Olympic year. This is the time to take stock of the work done in the four-year period. The Olympics are an important moment for every federation, above all for the FISI, which includes 10 different disciplines. I know we all do our best to reach the most important goal. And with the Games fast approaching, it is essential that we are all aware of the importance of the appointment and that our ideas are very clear about it. Last season brought with it major achievements, but also the odd problem. Now we really must analyse what happened, for better or worse. We must take strong measures to remedy the things that did not go as planned".
