A three time Italian Paralympian, activist for female athletes and advocate for diverse standards in beauty, Yoko’s dreams for Tokyo medal in 2020 are suddenly dashed by the worldwide pandemic. While sports are suspended, the determined triathlete never relents. If a deadly bacteria couldn’t stop Veronica, neither will the coronavirus.
