Rita Cuccuru

Rita Cuccuru is a determined and enthusiastic 41-year-old handbiker, born in Germany but an islander in heart and spirit.

Her sports career came to an abrupt stop in 1995, when a car accident forced her into a wheelchair.

Thanks to the affection of her family and her passion for sport, Rita began a path of rebirth that led her to play basketball in Sassari and then to devote herself to triathlon before switching to handbiking.

Since 2016 she has been part of Team Equa, for which she won the gold medal at the 2015 World Cup.

Her perfect noun is “tenacity,” which she has demonstrated in all the challenges she has faced, from basketball to triathlon, to winning the gold medal.
