(ANSA) – ROME, NOVEMBER 23 – “Sport is for everyone, it is inclusion”, and from the sporting success of Italy this year “the message that must pass is that there is no limit. Even as children they must believe in this. Diversity must not exist and this must start from when one is little “. This is the message launched by Enza Petrilli, silver Paralympic athlete in archery in Tokyo, speaking on the sidelines of the Italian Sports Day event at Expo 2020 Dubai.
Simone Barlaam shares the same idea, who won a gold, two silver and a bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. “What’s happening is a domino effect. We improve as a movement and thanks to this, the movement grows. I joined the Paralympic family in 2015 by watching the other kids’ exploits on television.
Increasing the number of medals and media exposure will ensure that more and more children with disabilities will learn about this world and we hope that in the future we will have more and more athletes. “
“As a Paralympic movement we are an accumulator of so many values and messages that we tangibly bring about a change, which has to be cultural but passes to the institutional one,” said Veronica Yoko Plebani, Paralympic bronze medalist in the Tokyo 2020 triathlon. “I think these Paralympics have had a great effect on the institutions that need to implement their support for the Paralympic movement, and this – we hope – will imply an educational and cultural change “.
