(Adnkronos) - A me non piace tanto raccontarmi anche perché la mia storia la conoscono tutti, non ho niente da aggiornare, tutto è rimasto come a Parigi. La mia fortuna è stata aver avuto le persone giuste vicino che mi hanno aperto la testa per pensare allo sport, sennò sarei rimasto sulla sedia a riflettere solo sul male e il brutto della vita. Sono stato molto fortunato perché ho visto un'altra vita che si è aperta davanti a me". Così Rigivan Ganeshamoorthy, atleta medaglia d'oro alle Paraolimpiadi di Parigi, in occasione del talk show Fair Play Menarini – I campioni si raccontano svoltosi a Firenze presso il Salone dei Cinquecento di Palazzo Vecchio.

00:00It's not that I like to talk about it, because everyone knows my story, I have nothing to update, I stayed like this, like in Paris.
00:13These are not expected things, and then I didn't even give them the right time to elaborate these feelings.
00:19I keep them in private and I try to feed them as much as possible.
00:25In 2025 there will be the World Cup in New Delhi, it's not 100% confirmed yet, we'll see what comes out of it.
00:33It only depends on the health, if it assists us or not.
00:36Maybe my luck was to have the right people close to me, who opened my head to think about this,
00:42otherwise sometimes you don't even think about it, because you think about sitting down and thinking only about the bad, the bad of life.
00:50Let's say I was very lucky, because I saw another life with these eyes.
00:56The first few times were difficult, as for everyone, because you're always depressed, you think, but why me, why all this?
01:02Then you understand the meaning of life, every day you live.
01:07Even going to do simple physiotherapy has become something, you say, I'm still alive, I can still talk, eat.
01:14There are other people who don't even get to this, and I'm really proud of that.
01:19For them, FISPES, Arianna Marinardi used to work there, now she's on the Italian Paralympic Committee.
01:25I said, come and do the test, let's see what comes out of it.
01:28Did you believe it?
01:29The medal came out of it.
01:30No, no, I didn't believe it at all, I said, what is it, they threw this piece of iron?
01:34Then, instead, it paid me back a lot.
