Simply great! I’m surrounded by people with two arms and two legs who say “boooring” to everybody and everything and criticise the entire human kind. These people instead are great and hope you take example from them. Love you Beatrice, I’ll bring my daughter to the next Paralympic to let her understand what amazing things can humans do what the real life is.
She’s already a double medalist. She’s so young. And soooo strong. She can have so many more. A true modern hero. If people want to know what our mental image is, hear her out.
This is so inspiring and heart-touching. These days i feel that every smallest thing in my life is going wrong and I lost faith in everything thing even my self. However, this video warmed my heart and taught me something so deep. Thanks I came to here be a chance, and I really needed it
She only had determination because she was that motivated to be good at fencing. What's so amazing? If I wanted to be a millionaire as bad as she wanted to be an Olympic athlete, I'd be rich by now. It's just different priorities
Anand Patel that's the thing though. I'm sure if I put in the effort I'd be able to something like that too, but in reality I'm just lying on my sofa watching RU-vid videos. So, I'm impressed with her drive to keep working at her goals.
Why for me, on the other hand, was only a small virus enough to fall and lose all my strength and lose the desire to fight and face the world around me? Bebe is still there to tell me how to win in life, but I can't, it's too hard. In those last two years I lost the desire to smile, laugh and win. If Beatrice could help me understand where I'm wrong....
+Anand Patel You say it as if something's wrong with that. It's dumb and patronizing to honor someone simply because they're disabled, but that doesn't mean that they also can't earn that award through real hard work and perseverance.
You try fencing at chair distance -- even with arms -- and tell me how it goes. Fencers can see what she has to overcome competitively right off the bat. 1) Because you can't wear prosthetics in the chair (an exception was made for her so she could wield her foil)m she has no means of pulling her body back other than her stomach muscles, and given the close distance, the timing on that is more than a bit important. 2) She has no wrist with which to angulate her weapon to hit target...another important point when you get close. Able-bodied fencers don't get that close without angulating their weapons, which she can't do. 3) She's out there in international competition....when was the last world championship or paralympic medal YOU won? I've given sabre lessons at chair distance....I have a LOT of respects for the wheelie fencing community. Perhaps you need to not dismiss Ms. Vio's accomplishments until you can match them.
You’re tone is very patronizing, try walking a day in her shoes, get up everyday live life through her body and compete in a the olympics manage to win a gold medal in FENCING with no arms!!! I don’t think you can comprehend the level of accuracy and vigilance involved. Well done Bebe 💕💕 Grande Bebe
