From a part the splendid dunes of Sabaudia where the Villas of the Vip are incastonate that they find again every summer, travelling over again those that were the habits of the emperors roman, on the sconfinata Latium beach. From the other the river basin of the Lago of Paola where the lussureggiante Mediterranean vegetation of the National Park of the Circeo lies down on the sides of the lago recalling scents and colors of the tropical Lagunari atmospheres. In place of the mangrovie they are the eucalyptuses to bathe the rebellions in the sweet water. It seems impossible but we are to one single hour of machine from the understood one them.
E' that Leonardo Falsiroli, young person Argentine champion of nautical ski, is trained in order to prepare itself for the next ones samples to you world-wide of Bordering and is here that with the Dock Ski here Club standard to sciare to boys, adults and to the disabili persons.
' do not exist limits in this sport? it explains the three times champion of the world? they can practice it is amputates it to you that the paraplegici, who is seated must only possess one particular ski, a po' wider of the normal school. Also seeing they cannot learn without problems, in little lessons is begun endured to sciare for diverstirsi '.
Leonardo has 28 31 years to complete next August and has lived all its life in Argentine, to Cordova where NATO is, travelling very many in order to train itself and soggiornando in the United States, in Chile and hour in Italy. The titles conquered them are very many and the established records many more, and not only to kermesse world-wide of nautical ski for disabili (the 1 gold and 1 silver to London 98, to Melbourne 2001 in the fugure and 2 gold specialties slalom) but also in it samples national Argentines and ' normodotati ' Americans to you with.
' Before my incident (it is amputated over the ginocchio left because of an incident on the small engine to the age of 18 years, ndr) sciavo but not to agonistico level? it tells - we close had a house to the lago and with my family we went here in the week end and the vacation, sciavo very many since I had 6 years but without one goal. E' be after that I have begun to professional level: I wanted to try? it explains with the gradevole Castilian accent? if I were still able, I saw that I succeeded and I have begun to pormi of objects to you to catch up because to sciare therefore a lot in order to make it I did not amuse more. Peppe Visconti, a beloved friend sessantenne, champion of the world in that category, has invited to me to go with he to the contests. I have begun to win competing with boys with two legs and always improved more salting than category. E' be in the 95 to Pan-American Giochi that I have known the president of the World-wide Federation Jim Grew that has invited to participate to me to the World-wide ones for disabili '. From then, the South American camione, has participated to all editions becoming more strongly than all.
While we speak Leonardo is making lesson to a child of 8 years to which the standard the first rudimenti of the ski with one infinite dolcezza. Eugene keeps itself strongly to the slab - the first times for the young do not come used the splinter-bar but a wood slab that extends to outside on the flank of the motorboat - and watches fierce and enthusiastic its master who encourages it while papà Vincenzo, on the motorboat with we, observes its boy. ' I want to return afternoon today papà'? it asserts the small to the term of the lesson.
Now it is the turn of Massimiliano, an expert boy that leaves with the monosci. Leonardo this time yields flying to its Jermàn brother, also he instructor, and observes the skier carefully while it covers the field of slalom correcting of the small defects.
The lessons interrupt and Leonardo esaudisce our demand to see to sciare it. ' Gladly - it answers - but in slalom me already they are not trained two hours this morning soon, I make to see the figures you '.
Therefore with Jermàn and Luciano Mercuries (titular of the ski club, roman commerce graduate and great fan of nautical ski much to open this school in the 93) to the guide of the motorboat, Leonardo completes the classic evolutions with the monosci ' saponetta ': 180, 360, swan and, in order to close mortal jump them on the wave.
