I will be the flag bearer at the Paralympics in Paris. Already saying it out loud makes my heart beat faster, I am so honoured to be able to play this role. It is a dream I have always had, and to do it this year is a great honour".
    Mazzone said: "It is an honour that I would never have thought of and that repays me for so many years of sporting activity.
    "I hope that my story will be an example for many young people".
