Without a leg and just ten months after operation undergone for the compound fracture of the right ankle

GIANNI SASSO WILL TAKE PART IN BERLIN MARATHON TO WRITE A NEW EXTRAORDINARY AND MOVING PAGE OF SPORTS STORY

The forty-one year old-islander, who at the age of sixteen lost the left leg and that now can run only with the aid of crutches, after having broken twice the world record of category first in the New York Marathon and then to that one of Chicago, now he retries in Berlin where he will attempt the impossible exploit of ending the race under the wall of 4 hours and 38 minutes. It is a challenge in the challenge if we think that this winter Gianni, because of a car accident, suffered the compound fracture of the right ankle and was inserted him a titanium screw in the tibial malleolus which continues to hold inserted in the ankle. Operated excellently at the 'Anna Rizzoli' Hospital of Lacco Ameno, shortly after, among the amazement of all, he returned to train on the roads of the island of Ischia. That's why this time his sole miraculous presence at Berlin Marathon is the most beautiful and incredible victory that Gianni could give to sports Italy.
