Andrea Macrì

Toro Seduto

Andrea Macrì is an Italian Paralympic athlete, born in 1991, and a defender in para ice hockey.

At the age of 17, he was involved in a serious accident that resulted in incomplete paraplegia, leading him to begin a rehabilitation journey at the Spinal Unit in Turin. It was there that he first came into contact with the Paralympic movement and initially took up wheelchair fencing, a sport that allowed him to compete at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

Andrea’s life was turned upside down by a radical change, which he faced with a smile and a positive mindset, finding in sport a true rebirth. He later discovered para ice hockey, becoming over the years a veteran of the Italian National Team. A European champion in 2011 and a three-time Paralympian, Andrea describes himself as ambitious, generous, and determined. Milano-Cortina 2026 represents an important opportunity for him to share his experience and give greater visibility to his sport.
