Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympic Games
"The Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympic Games mark the beginning of much more than just a competition.
It marks the beginning of an extraordinary lesson in courage, strength, and determination.
I wish the Italian team the best of luck, including the athletes of the Paralympic Defense Sports Group (GSPD): an example of talent, resilience, and extraordinary humanity.
Thanks also go to the Defense personnel and volunteers from the National Alpine Association for their contribution to the safety of the Games and for their support in organizing an event that speaks of inclusion and overcoming limits.
Because sport unites, breaks down barriers, and reminds us all of a principle that always applies in defense: never leave anyone behind."
So said Minister Guido Crosetto.
