Sports career

Di Lello first began running in an attempt to lose weight, and in 1992 he started competing in long distance races.[1] A motor bike accident resulted in a muscle impairment and Di Lello was subsequently classified as a T46 parasport athlete.[1] One of the first major competitions he entered was the 2009 New York Marathon, but he was forced to retire from the event with an Achilles tendon inflammation.[1][2] In 2012 he competed alongside fellow countryman Walter Endrizzi in the Summer Paralympics in London. Di Lello finished 8th with a time of 2.46:27.[1]

The next year Di Lello competed in T46 marathon at the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon. Di Lello ran a time of 2:33.42 to take the gold ahead of Portugal's Pedro Meza.[1] 2013 also saw Di Lello win the T44-46 category in the London Marathon with a time of 2:32.06.[3]
