Nikos Papangelis

Para-cyclist

Greece

Nikos Papangelis has learned from a very young age to fight, as at the age of just 13, he began the toughest battle of his life. That was against cancer, where he managed to emerge victorious twice, but sacrificing his left leg. Through this adventure, however, Nikos managed to come out stronger, pursued his dreams in sports, and became a national champion and Olympian. Besides being an exceptional athlete, Nikos is also a great person, as since 2022 he started the philanthropic initiative Wheels Of Will, which aims to raise money and donate it to people in real need. His dream is to win an Olympic medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
