César a commencé sa carrière d'entraîneur de boccia en 2009. Il a participé à quatre Jeux paralympiques et occupe depuis 2022 le poste d'entraîneur-chef de l'équipe canadienne. Iulian, quant à lui, a découvert le boccia en 2014. Dès l'année suivante, il a intégré l'équipe canadienne, représentant fièrement le pays sur la scène internationale depuis.
Iulian, né le 29 juillet 1983 en République de Moldavie, a reçu un diagnostic de dystrophie musculaire des ceintures à l’âge de 10 ans. Il a terminé ses études en psychologie en 2008 et a immigré au Canada avec son épouse en 2010, s’installant à Montréal. En 2014, il a découvert la boccia, ou plutôt la boccia la trouvé car il n’aurait jamais imaginé pouvoir pratiquer un sport, est devenu père pour la première fois, a remporté une médaille de bronze au championnat canadien et a intégré l’équipe nationale de boccia en 2015.
