Q2. Why was Monti awarded the Pierre de Coubertin Fair Play Trophy
Q3. Would you do the same if you were Monti Why or why not
Suggested answers:
Because on the one hand, sportspeople have to compete with their fellow players, and on the other, they must compete with themselves. But in both cases they must make the right decisions to play fair and with dignity.
