Today Albania honored the medalists of the Olympic Games in a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Rama, who took the opportunity to answer those who skeptically stated that the medals were not won by Albania as the players were raised and trained abroad.
The Prime Minister once again made it clear that it is Albania that made the Olympic success possible, together with the talent and work of the athletes.
Rama compares them to garlic that destroys the evil eye as he says:
"We created a favorable situation for talents in sports.
Albania, from a country that was abandoned by its children because it could not even provide them with food and lost potential that turned into gold medals for neighboring countries, we have returned to a country that can also adopt children coming from other countries. If it was the Albania of yesterday, no one would come to seek to represent this country.
But today there are many reasons to come, Albania has grown to create a support framework among the safest and most attractive in the region and beyond.
Throwing up the garlic was that we had nothing to be happy about these medals because they were not from Albania and a working way to get it, but medals that came as a result of two guys from far away who happened to be here.
Here are Albania's medals in various championships, from European to Balkan, from 2021 to today.
In three years, Albania has received 538 medals. They are medals of different levels, but they are Albanians who have competed with others, in the region and beyond. They are the first swallows that will bring new medals", said Rama.
