Description

Ogni atleta sperimenta una crisi nel corso della carriera. Ma perdere gambe e braccia, gli “strumenti” del proprio lavoro a causa di una malattia in età giovanile, è un trauma che molti rischiano di non superare mai.

Bebe Vio invece non ha abbandonato il sogno di diventare una schermitrice, nonostante le amputazioni subite quando aveva solo undici anni a causa di una meningite fulminante.

Invece di sognare le Olimpiadi, ha iniziato ad allenarsi, in carrozzina, per le Paralimpiadi. La sua instancabile determinazione, a dispetto della disabilità, l’ha portata a essere una campionessa mondiale di scherma. Ha fondato anche una propria associazione: art4sport, per incoraggiare i bambini amputati ad avvicinarsi allo sport e ad apprezzare la vita attraverso lo sport.

Questo è l’ottavo essay della serie Big Ideas, ideata dalla Banca europea per gli investimenti.

Su invito della BEI, leader di fama internazionale hanno fornito il proprio contributo riguardo alle tematiche più rilevanti del nostro tempo. Gli essaytestimoniano che un nuovo modo di pensare si è reso necessario per contribuire alla salvaguardia dell’ambiente, eliminare le disuguaglianze e migliorare le vite delle persone intorno a noi.

About the author

Bebe Vio
Bebe Vio

Bebe Vio was born in Venice on 4 March 1997. Since childhood, she has always been full of life and had lots of interests: school, drawing, scouting and above all fencing. When she was 11, a sudden attack of meningitis robbed her of her arms and legs.

But one of her greatest wishes was to be able to get back to sport, and she succeeded in doing so with the help of  art4sport ONLUS and a team of specialised technicians. Bebe became the first athlete in the art4sport team.

In early May 2010 Bebe contested her first official match in Bologna, and since then she has taken part in a growing number of ever more exciting and entertaining competitions.

After winning in the European championships and World Cup in 2014, in 2015 she was crowned paralympic world champion in the individual foil category of the fencing championships. A few days later she won the bronze medal in the team competition. In 2016 she was awarded the gold medal in the individual competition at the XV Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, and in 2017 she won her second paralympic world champion title in the individual foil category.

In 2018 she again won the gold medal at the European paralympic fencing
championships.
