Camilo Ortega, COL

2013 for Colombia (senalcolombia.tv, 16 Dec 2019)

He took up the sport in 2009 in Cali, Colombia. (paralympic.org, 21 Aug 2019; juegosdelvalle.gov.co, 25 Jul 2019)

He was encouraged to try the sport by neuro-physical therapist Camilo Ortega, who is also his coach. "He was carrying some boccia balls, which I didn't quite understand. He invited me to try, I agreed and he explained the whole game to me. Boccia changed my life completely, because it made me believe that I can overcome my difficulties with dedication."
