Hello, I'm Angélica Bernal, wheelchair tennis player from Colombia. I was born with my disability. I started to practise various sports let's say, conventional, with my prosthesis and with my dad. I started sports from a very young age, more or less six, seven years old playing basketball, volleyball, football. Among those there was tennis, which was the one that I liked the most. I love tennis. I enjoy every moment on the court, both in training and during a match. Being on the court playing, with the pressure, the nerves. When there is public I enjoy it a lot more, I think that's what I enjoy most about tennis. My disability is called phocomelia. It’s when you don’t develop a member. In my case it's the right leg from the hip down. The transition from that conventional sport that I played when I was younger to wheelchair tennis, and having to use a wheelchair... At first I saw it as a problem, but the moment I sat in the chair it was completely different. I felt free, and I loved being able to move freely all over the court, with the wheelchair. My first experience at the Paralympic Games in London was very emotional. We were a big delegation. The Colombians were very interested in us. The Paralympic Movement was growing. The public, the number of people who went to watch wheelchair tennis... I think it was the first time I played with so many people watching, so I remember it with a lot of love. I know there are many Colombians in France and in Europe who will be supporting us. So I hope they will be there. Wheelchair tennis is going to be played at Roland Garros, a temple for tennis, so I will enjoy it very much. Para sport changed my life completely because having played sports since I was very young, I learned many values for my life, like discipline, effort, daily work, trusting the team and that spirit that every athlete has. I think that knowing all the sports and the other athletes, both from Colombia and from other regions, has allowed me to show that we are strong and that we fight day to day for our dreams. The message I would like to send to people with disabilities is to encourage them to do sport. Sport has a very positive impact. It allows them to believe in any possibility, in the capabilities that we have as athletes and in the values of Paralympic sports.
