The Ottoz family is a sporting family consisting of many athletes, one of whom became a manager in the world of athletics.[1][2][3]
Sandro Calvesi (1913–1980), the capostipite of the Calvesi family, coached the Italian hurdler Eddy Ottoz (born 1944), who afterwards became his son-in-law through his marriage with Lyana Calvesi. Calvesi was also the first coach of French Olympic champion Guy Drut.[4] He was also the promoter of the athletic club, Atletica Brescia.[5]
