#ChangeStartsWithSport: Grigorios Polychronidis Shares His Life-Changing Boccia Journey! 🌟🏆

Polychronidis took up boccia with the dream of participating in his home Paralympics at Athens 2004, and since then he has remained a medal contender in the BC3 category.

Due to spinal muscular atrophy, which leads to muscle wasting, Polychronidis competes with a ramp to aim his shots and headgear to set them in motion.

The International Paralympic Committee's vision is to make for an inclusive world through Para sport. Our mission is to lead the Paralympic Movement, oversee the delivery of the Paralympic Games and support members to enable Para athletes to achieve sporting excellence.
