LAUSANNE, December 31, 2021 - The year 2021 has not been an easy year, but now we are facing 2022 with the hope that something better will come. I think we have to be optimistic, even if our last two years have not been so good. I think our profession has been put in danger in these two years: many of us have lost our jobs since there was no possibility to enter the stadiums and, in general, to develop our skills by meeting people. This is something that must be restored.
