Ambra Sabatini wants to repeat success at Paris 2024

We invite you to follow the incredible journey of Ambra Sabatini, a sprinter who has taken the world of Para athletics by storm. Ambra began her athletics journey after a life-altering traffic accident in 2019, which resulted in the amputation of her left leg. Initially a middle-distance runner, she shifted her focus to sprinting and has since excelled in her new discipline. Ambra shares her passion for her sport, emphasising the beauty of relying solely on her strength during a race. She values the individual aspect of sprinting but also appreciates the importance of teamwork and the unity it brings.

 

Participating at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics was an unforgettable experience. Despite initial thoughts that simply participating was enough, her expectations soared as she arrived with a world record. This heightened her desire to win. The experience was intense, especially with the challenge of competing in the rain, but Ambra's determination saw her through.

 

Ambra believes that to become a Paralympic champion, one needs persistence, dedication, training, and passion. She emphasises that loving what you do is crucial to reaching your maximum potential. Looking ahead to Paris 2024, Ambra has big expectations. Having already won a gold medal, she hopes to repeat her success and perhaps even set another world record. With her family there to support her, she wants to experience the unique atmosphere of the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
