Free Throw Record Attempt in Treviso for Special Olympics

On Sunday, 15 November, a free throw event will be held at the Fan Zone before the match between Nutribullet Treviso and Scafati. From 14:00 at the Palaverde in Villorba, everyone will be able to take a free throw.

The event is called "Play Together, Win Together" and is run by Special Olympics Italia. The organization is supporting Team Italia's preparations for the Santiago del Cile 2027 World Summer Games. Lorenzo Zamuner and Thomas Mies from Treviso, athletes with the Baskettosi team, have been called up to the unified basketball national team and will take part in the World Games in Chile.

Anyone can take part, and the rule is simple: each person takes one free throw. The record set in 2018, 720 different shooters in one stage, is being targeted at this event. To break it, at least 721 participants are needed at the Palaverde. Every participant counts toward the record even if the shot does not go in. Successful shots are worth three points in the stage standings.

The event is also part of a national goal. The aim is to symbolically cover the 11,936 kilometer distance between Rome and Santiago del Cile. People who wish to can make an optional donation to the "Adotta un Campione" campaign during registration. Registration is mandatory to take a shot. Registrations will be checked on site and every attempt will count in the official tally. People who register in advance through the website can come to the Fan Zone already registered, and on-site registration will also be available.
