Italy doesnt buy anyone, only some tier 3 athletes come competing for Italy because they find more difficult to make the team in their country. Look at Tokyo medal table, there is only the bronze medal of Conyedo won by a foreign athletes, 1 bronze medal among 40 medals......I think Andy Diaz Is the First very strong athlete that comes to Italy in many years ( After Chamizo 8 or 9 years ago Who married an italian girl). Zane Weir Is completely different, he Is a product of italian system, when he started asking for italian citizenship ( he had an italian grandfather) in 2019, he was a fantastic 19.50 thrower , then he came to Italy, trained in Italy with italian coach and other italian athletes, with italian facilities and became a 22 metres thrower . Many others , especially in athletics, are Born and raised in Italy or came here when they were 5 or 6 years old children, they are more italian than me, I dont think anybody could say that Ovtcharov Is Ukrainian and not German.
