How many champions present: from Zanetti and Maldini to Serginho, Malagò, Mancini and more. “The aim would be to make WEmbrace an annual event”
His smile brightened the evening, already beautiful in its own right. Because seeing the Olympic and Paralympic worlds so close had never really happened. Yet, Bebe Vio is capable of this too. And the great thing is that she manages with the same ease with which she takes selfies in the White House or takes applause in the European Parliament. In fact, in the splendid setting of the Allianz Cloud in Milan, the beneficial sporting event “WEmbrace” was staged, born from an idea of the fencer and her association art4sport, which combined Olympic and Paralympic sport through truly spectacular challenges.
GUESTS
–
An evening dedicated to inclusion that saw the participation of champions: from Javier Zanetti to Serginho, from Maurizio Ganz to Walter Zenga, passing through Claudio Marchisio, Daniele Garozzo, Luigi Busà, Cristina Chirichella and Caterina Bosetti. And then again Briantea84 and some athletes from the national sitting volleyball teams. Everyone got involved, dragged by the irrepressible energy of Bebe Vio, completely at ease in the role of hostess and by the enthusiasm of a very hot building. The national team coach Roberto Mancini, the president of Coni, Giovanni Malagò and the Cip one, Luca Pancalli, also attended the event. Also on the stands Paolo Scaroni, Paolo Maldini, Filippo Tortu and Andrea Pirlo.
CHALLENGES
–
But then, there were the races, the real cornerstone of the event. And here it was a show. Two Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic delegations competed in mixed teams in football, volleyball, basketball and fencing, all 4 disciplines practiced in their Paralympic version. Games, laughter, but also a lot of competition. On the other hand, when you summon people like that, on the pitch or on the platform, you don’t mess around.
BABY

“The aim was to demonstrate that Paralympic sport is in all respects comparable to the Olympic one in terms of emotions, spectacle and intensity – explains Bebe -. The aim would be to make WEmbrace an annual event. We would like to do it every year here in Milan also because the Allianz Cloud is the perfect setting ”.
SUCCESS
–
Bebe’s hope is that “WEmbrace” will become a fixed appointment and that it will be able to involve athletes even outside the Italian borders. For now, however, there is a first splendid certainty: the all-Italian edition was a success. Yes Bebe, smile. Once again, mission accomplished.
