Valentina Petrillo

The Paris Paralympics were a climax of a long path for Italian sprinter Valentina Petrillo, Italy's first high-profile out trans athlete.

Valentina Petrillo tells Outsports she wants to speak up for trans people, and she may not be ready to put her track shoes down yet.

Valentina Petrillo did not win a medal in Paris, but the reception she received as an out trans athlete was uplifting.

Italian trans sprinter Valentina Petrillo fell short of finals in both Paralympics events, despite claims she has an 'unfair' advantage.

The selection of Valentina Petrillo to Italy's Paralympic team ends a marathon for the transgender track champion.
