Francesca Cesarini, 15, practices pole dancing at home in Magione, near Perugia, Italy, November 15, 2021. Cesarini was born with no hands and with only one leg. Like many girls her age, she wears braces on her teeth and a black plastic choker necklace. She likes to go to McDonalds and loves all things about Harry Potter. Cesarini chose an increasingly popular sport that anyone would find difficult, she wanted to be an acrobatic pole dancer. In 2021 she competed in the International Pole Sports Federation's virtual world pole and aerial championship. She was the only athlete to compete in the disability category and was awarded the gold medal. "It makes me feel free," she said. REUTERS/Yara Nardi SEARCH "NARDI POLE DANCER" FOR THIS STORY.
