We are thrilled to announce that Paralympic 2024 Italian medalist, TV personality and motivational figure Manuel Bortuzzo has chosen award-winning Küschall Champion as his chair of choice.
Known for his resilience and passion, Manuel chose Küschall as it is a powerful alignment with his own personal values and ambition.
Manuel, 25, a highly accomplished professional swimmer, is a symbol of strength and determination worldwide. Following his spinal injury in 2019, Manuel has focused on pushing the boundaries of what is possible, embodying a spirit of perseverance and excellence. Early this year, Manuel competed in the Paralympic games in Paris, achieving a bronze medal for Italy in the 100m breaststroke SB4.
The Küschall Champion is a wheelchair perfectly suited to Manuel’s dynamic lifestyle. It has a lightweight, foldable frame and is designed for those who value freedom of movement, exceptional ergonomics, and cutting-edge design. The Küschall Champion is ideal for Manuel’s rigorous training and travel demands.
Manuel said “I chose Küschall Champion because it represents a greater freedom for me. The Champion is not just a wheelchair; it’s an accessory that enables me to continue reaching for my goals without limitation. Küschall is the best I’ve experienced, and I’m proud to use a chair that aligns with my commitment to excellence and precision.”
The Küschall Champion is easy to transport and folds down to the size of a backpack giving Manuel maximum independence.
Claire Nadaud, Invacare Global Head Category for manual wheelchair, said: “We are proud that Manuel chose Küschall as his everyday active wheelchair. His passion and resilience embody the very spirit of our Küschall brand. Manuel’s story is one of extraordinary determination, showing that, with the right mindset and support, challenges can be transformed into new opportunities.
