Accessible video transcript

[00:00–00:10]

[We are in Savona, in Liguria. Niccolò Temolada and Vanni Oddera get into a Peugeot 308 and drive along inland Ligurian roads, surrounded by greenery, on a slightly cloudy day.]

[00:10]

Vanni: Nico, who are you in two words?

[00:12]

Niccolò: A cheerful guy and a bit crazy.

[00:15]

Vanni: What caused your paralysis?

[00:17]

Niccolò: A motorcycle accident, two days before I turned 18.

[00:21]

Vanni: What was the hardest moment after your accident, and how did you get through it?

[00:25]

Niccolò: Waking up, when the doctors told me I was paralyzed and that from that day on I wouldn’t walk anymore.

[00:34]

Vanni: How did your passion for karting start?

[00:36]

Niccolò: It mainly started after the accident, kind of as a game.

[00:43]

Vanni: What does inclusivity mean to you?

[00:45]

Niccolò: That no one should be left behind and that we should always encourage others to give their 100%.

[00:51]

Vanni: How do you keep your motivation high during difficult times in your life?

[00:55]

Niccolò: With my motto, “always believe, never give up,” and thanks to my family.

[00:59]

Vanni: Now we have to leave the car. Are you ready to ride the waves?

[01:02]

Niccolò: Absolutely ready!

[01:03–01:23]

[The car arrives near the sea. Vanni and Niccolò get on a jet ski driven by a professional, speeding across the water and making sharp turns. They smile and have fun. Then the car is seen setting off again.]
