[The Race of Saints is] an extraordinary event that can highlight how sport is not only good for the body and health but also for the soul.

— Oxana Corso

[La razza dei santi è] un evento straordinario che può mettere in risalto come lo sport non faccia bene solo al corpo e alla salute ma all'anima.

Covid has probably taught us a great life lesson: knowing how to draw the good from the little things, like a walk in the park, for example, or a run around the corner.

It was a wonderful experience because I wasn't aware of my capabilities. Every event, however, beyond the Paralympics, fills me with joy.

“ I wouldn’t be myself without athletics, and I must thank my parents. If it weren’t for my dad’s stubbornness, I wouldn’t even be able to climb stairs now.”

“With my message I want people to understand that nothing is impossible and that barriers are only mental.”

The Paralympic movement is symbolized by the three drops, which represent the fact that where the body can't reach, the mind can, and where the mind can't reach, the spirit can. This last step is what takes you to the finish line.
