Pararotarylimpiade 6th Edition: a success of Inclusivity and Sport
The 6th edition of the Pararotary Olympics took place with great enthusiasm in Abbiategrasso, consolidating the event as one of the points of reference for inclusiveness and the promotion of well-being through sport.
Organized by the Morimondo Abbazia Rotary Club, in collaboration with “ALA” (Abbiategrasso Athletics), the event saw the participation of able-bodied or disabled athletes from various local areas, schools and various associations.
The athletes were welcomed by the Bersaglieri Fanfare of Abbiategrasso who performed their best pieces, concluding with the Mameli Hymn.
This year, in addition to numerous Rotarians and Rotarctians, the following were present: IIS Alessandrini, Istituto Aldo Moro, Ass. “Moriamoci Insieme”, Polisportiva Superabily, Associazione Heiros, Canottieri Baldesio, Polispostiva Milanese, Gruppo Andy, Anfass Abbiategrasso, ASD “I youth for youth” and the Holy Family Foundation.
The main objective of the initiative is to create moments of aggregation and to stimulate the active participation of everyone, regardless of physical difficulties.
The disciplines proposed ranged from running to wheelchair tennis, from vortex throwing to integrated football, from Paralympic bowls, to rugby, etc. also involving the public in interactive activities and raising awareness of the importance of accessibility. The event represented not only a sporting event, but a real moment of reflection on social inclusion and the value of collective commitment.
At the end of the races and the related awards ceremony, a lunch was organized in which the athletes, their companions and all those present were able to enjoy a wonderful moment of conviviality.
The success of the event was reflected in the enthusiasm of the athletes, who demonstrated great determination, drive and team spirit.
The Pararotary Olympics is therefore confirmed as an event that combines sport, solidarity and inclusion, and which sees constant growth, year after year, both in terms of participants and audiences.
