Gianfranco Paglia beyond all limits, new record at the “2 Ore No Limits”: 14 km and 360 meters

In Armentarola, in the heart of Alta Badia, Lieutenant Colonel Gianfranco Paglia achieved a new feat. Today, during the 2 Ore No Limits, the Paratrooper Officer, Gold Medal for Military Valor, broke his personal record, covering 14 kilometers and 360 meters in two hours of Paralympic Nordic skiing.

A clear and unequivocal improvement compared to the record set last January 31, when he completed the trial at 11.680 km. Numbers that, on their own, tell of an impressive athletic growth. But, as often happens in Paglia's journey, they are never just numbers.

From Armentarola a message that goes beyond sport

The trial took place in Armentarola, a suggestive setting that provided the backdrop for an event full of meaning. Already on the eve, the goal was clear: raise the bar, improve the record and demonstrate that limits are more cultural than physical.

And indeed this was not simply “an athlete's challenge”.

Paglia makes sport a direct, powerful language, impossible to ignore. Every kilometer covered is a message addressed to society and institutions: equal opportunities, dignity, respect are not concessions, but rights.

Performance, dignity, citizenship

The “2 Ore No Limits” was born as a test of endurance. But in the strength of Gianfranco Paglia it becomes something more: a concrete act to reaffirm that people with disabilities are not second-class citizens, and that inclusion is not preached, it is practiced.

The new record of 14.360 km is not just a personal victory.
It is a milestone that reinforces a clear message: the limit is not the disability, but the perspective with which society views it.

Folgore Commander Paglia!
