Welcome to another episode of Game Changers! ๐ŸŒŸ Today we introduce you to Ana Sofia Costa, a boccia player from Portugal.

At the age of 2, Ana Sofia was diagnosed with a muscular dystrophy that progressively left her tetraplegic. Since taking up boccia, she has travelled around the world and became one of the biggest stars in the sport.

The International Paralympic Committee's visionย is to make for an inclusive world through Para sport. Our mission is to lead the Paralympic Movement, oversee the delivery of the Paralympic Games and support members to enable Para athletes to achieve sporting excellence.
