San Marino, sportsmen and politicians compete for a wheelchair basket
The footballers Bonini, Brighi and Floccari but also an Olympic medalist and two Secretaries of State. Solidarity with the wheelchair basketball match between well-known faces of sport and politics goes to the basket on the Titan. Thus the Titan ignites the engines of inclusion, renewing the appointment with “However… what a spectacle!”, The three days of mototherapy dedicated to disabled young people and studded with collateral events, from tomorrow to 11 September. An initiative now in its second edition and organized by the association Attiva-mente in synergy with BattiCinque, the Social Security Institute and the Secretariat of State. The entire proceeds will be donated to the Montetauro di Coriano social cooperative and to the Pediatrics Iss.
All different, all the same
The starting line will be crossed tomorrow at 2.30 pm at the gymnasium of the Multieventi sports complex in Serravalle with “An assist for peace and rights”. That is a basketball match in a wheelchair between two teams made up of both male and female celebrities not only from sport, but also from the political sphere or simply more from civil society, guests of course with or without disabilities. In the list stand out the Secretary of Education Andrea Belluzzi and the colleague at work Teodoro Lonfernini, but also the former footballers Sergio Floccari, Matteo Brighi and Massimo Bonini, Gian Marco Berti, medalist in Tokyo 2020, Vanni Oddera free style motocross champion, Elia Benedictines goalkeeper of the San Marino national football team, former basketball players Valentina Fabbri and Tommaso Rinaldi, go kart driver Niko Tremolada.
Against discrimination
The event will close at “Reflections against wars for peace and rights”, scheduled for 11 September at 10 in Piazzale Giovanni Paolo II in Serravalle, the result of collaboration with the San Marino Women’s Union to address the issue of women’s rights and self-determination. Space for the testimonies of those who live and have therefore experienced the horror in Afghanistan such as Mulkara Rahimi, physiotherapist and national wheelchair basketball team who, welcomed in Italy, resumed training successfully.
