A story like, unfortunately, many hear. But this time the story has a happy ending .
Antonio Fois is a 21-year-old boy from Codrongianos , who works as an employee in the "Chiaramonti Martis succor". As a teenager he was chubby. «Only for this in middle school I was targeted by some of my classmates and cruelly bullied . Day to day. A continuous humiliation. Then I finally fought back and punched my abuser . But my stay in that Codrongianos school had become impossible for me. So I enrolled in a school in Sassari , where my slow rebirth began ».
Antonio Fois' refuge was wrestling , an ancient and noble sport that nourishes courage but transmits fundamental ethical values, such as respect for the rules and for opponents. «I've always loved this sport - specifies Antonio -. Even if the first few years I practiced it occasionally and only in training, without meetings».
Antonio Fois, stimulated by the Sassari master Claudio Bortolu , a former successful wrestler, gradually took over courage and self-confidence . Sports miracles. Recently, on 74 kg, the beautiful victory in Cagliari gave him the pass to participate in the absolute championships in Rome , which will take place in February. «My coach tells me I'm ready – concludes Fois – and I'll give my all to make a good impression. Those years are a bad memory and the wounds of the soul have healed. But I don't wish on anyone what happened to me and which unfortunately continues to happen to defenseless kids.
