Jeremiah Parrotto drops a trio in the sign of 'Never give up'
Geremia Parrotto, a Paralympic athlete in the MC3 category of Federciclismo, has won an incredible triple national crown, winning the Italian Road Cycling Championship, the Italian Mountain Bike Championship and, this weekend, also the Italian Cyclocross Championship.
A trio that definitively consecrates the talent, determination and extraordinary fortitude of an athlete who has made courage his flag. But behind every sporting feat there are values, people and a vision that make it possible.
Geremia is one of Colonel Calcagni’s great sports family, Team Calcagni “Never Surrender,” a reality conceived and founded by athlete Carlo, a living example of resilience and rebirth, which continues to inspire athletes and men in every field of life.
“I am proud of him – says Carlo Calcagni – because he has been able to transform suffering into strength, difficulty into propulsive drive. Geremia lost the use of his right arm in an accident, but he never stopped pedaling. He continued to believe, to fight, to give his all, even in the moments of greatest discouragement. And today he reaps the rewards of a constant commitment, of a dedication that goes beyond all limits”.
Three tricolor jerseys in a single season are not just a sporting achievement: they represent a powerful message, a hymn to life and the possibility of getting back up even when all seems lost.
“I wish him – continues Calcagni – to continue on this path, to achieve even more important goals, perhaps following in the wake of my international and world successes. But, above all, I wish him the same emotions, the same joy, the same awareness of how, even when you think everything is over, everything can instead begin, and you can still achieve great things”.
Team Calcagni “Never Give Up” thus continues to be a hotbed of examples, of athletes and men who do not stop in the face of obstacles, but turn them into opportunities. And Geremia Parrotto, with his triple victory, is the brightest proof of that today.
