The honored athletes included <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Andrea Biancalani<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, para-cycling world champion in the C4 category, and <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Fabrizio Cornegliani<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, handbike athlete and federal councilor of the FCI, who received the Diploma of Honor after having already been awarded the Golden Collar in previous years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The ceremony celebrated the key figures in the sporting successes of 2026, along with coaches, managers, and clubs. CONI President Luciano was present. <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Buonfiglio<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, the Minister for Sport and Youth Andrea <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Abodi<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> and the President of the Italian Paralympic Committee Marco Giunio De <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Sanctis<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">For Andrea <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Biancalani<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, 26, riding for Beltrami TSA Tre Colli, has won the Collare d&#039;Oro at the end of a splendid year. The Italian rider won the UCI World Cup circuit, took European gold in the road race in Maniago, and finally the world title in Huntsville, Alabama. The world championship victory was the final piece in a season of great consistency, with three finishes confirming his growth at the top of the C4 category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Fabrizio too <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Cornegliani<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, Cornegliani, who was unable to attend the ceremony for family reasons, enjoyed a successful 2026. In the H1 handbike category, he won two gold medals at the European Championships in Maniago, in the time trial and the road race, before winning the road world title in Huntsville, Alabama. His list of achievements also includes a gold medal in the time trial at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games. Having already received the Collare d&#039;Oro in previous years, this year Cornegliani received the Diploma of Honor, a recognition provided by the regulations for sporting merit for athletes who have already received the highest honor in the past. Since 2025, he has also been a federal councilor of the Italian Cycling Federation, a role he combines with his competitive activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Representing the Italian Cycling Federation were the president <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Cordiano Dagnoni<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> and the technical commissioner of the National Paracycling Team <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Pierpaolo Addesi<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cWhat makes me happy, beyond the results, is seeing two athletes who have been able to give continuity to their work and transform it into successes at the highest levels.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> President Cordiano declared <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Dagnoni<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. And he added: <\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u201cAndrea has built a remarkable season, winning the World Cup, European Championships, and World Championships. Fabrizio has once again confirmed his qualities and, with his dual commitment as an athlete and federal councilor, he knows well how important it is to work for the future of our movement. I&#039;m very sorry Fabrizio couldn&#039;t be with us today, but I extend my congratulations to both of them: they are two different paths, united by the ability to challenge themselves and continue to improve. I also thank CONI, the Italian Paralympic Committee, and the Ministry of Sport and Youth for their support of sport and the work of the Federations, which is essential in accompanying athletes on their growth paths and towards new goals.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROMA &#8211; Il ciclismo paralimpico azzurro \u00e8 stato tra i protagonisti della cerimonia di consegna dei Collari d\u2019Oro al merito sportivo, la massima onorificenza dello sport italiano, ospitata al Centro di Preparazione Olimpica \u201cGiulio Onesti\u201d del CONI, a Roma.
