The Lords of the Rings. By now it is no longer an original nickname for sportsmen who win a lot. The “practice” of the ring to celebrate a milestone achieved or a trophy won is now widespread in all major disciplines. These days pass before our eyes the photos of Pecco Bagnaia doing the 3 with his fingers and as many gold rings, one for each Motomondiale won. In 2018 and then the two consecutive ones in 2022 and 2023, celebrated on Sunday after an incredible finish. But he had done the same Leo Messi in the days when he won his eighth Ballon d’Or. The Argentine had been photographed with eight rings on his fingers. In 2020, to take another example, Inter had launched a commemorative ring to honor the 10th anniversary since the Triplete.
Why do sportsmen celebrate with a ring?
But where did the ring “fashion” in sports come from? Obviously, let us tell you, it is an American legacy. Not only from basketball, because in the States they are honored with a ring after winning the title yes the champions of the Nba, but also of the Nfl, American football and the mlb, the baseball league. Precious materials, engravings, stones, diamonds, in short: in addition to an emotional value we are talking about a really valuable object.
