Here are some directions in case anyone would like to read about and possibly vote for an Italian athlete who happens to have trisomy 21:
It's a little bit of a pain to navigate around adidas' fancy-shmancy site, but here goes (and it is worth it, anyway!):
1. go to www.adidas.com/us
2. Click on the huge black "impossible is nothing" box
3. Click on "fast forward to the site" or just listen to the intro and then you'll be at step 4 either way
4. Click on "The challenge: rate to win"
Note: on my computer these pages didn't fit well and I had to scroll right, left, up and down to see the entire page. Yes, I know I could re-set my screen size but I just don't care. But it took me a while to figure out why I wasn't seeing the links so I'm passing that along in case you also can't see them.
5. At the bottom of the screen, click on "Check out the finalists"
6. Look for "Dario Mosconi," and click on him to read his story, watch his video and hear him speak. And if you speak Italian, you can understand him all the better. I just had to read the tranlation. And then, if you feel motivated, of course, you can click on "5" to give him a high vote!
He has the lead right now!
In case anyone is interested, there is a more in-depth article on www.specialolympics.com under the "scaling new heights" link on that page, which then gives a link to his own self-written biography.
