AMBRA SABATINI

“Woman and sport” Award

Just a few minutes. It takes just a few minutes to radically change a young life. But if it’s true that by going deeper and deeper, you gain more strength in the push, the push that Ambra Sabatini gave herself has led her, not only to climb up, but also to reach the highest peaks of the sport scene. She is a rising star of Paralympic athletics. But above all a champion of resilience who, seeing her normality shattered, not only promptly picked up the pieces, but put them back together to form a new image of herself and her own existence. In losing certainties and coordinates, Ambra was able to find a new sense of direction and in having to relearn how to walk, she understood how to run and jump towards the finish line. World records, gold medal at olympic games, entry into the “Fiamme Gialle”: many victories won with tenacity, courage and awareness. Because Ambra lost something, a limb or a ground support, but found a new gait. Safe, fast, unstoppable.
