Forza Zanardi, Paralympic Gold

Its been almost 11 years since Alex Zanardi lost both of his legs in a horrible crash, racing in the Champ Car championship race at the Lausitzring in Germany. He returned to racing in over two years after the accident, competing in the World Touring Car Championship for BMW Italy-Spain between 2004 and 2009 winning a few races in that period.



Since retiring from touring cars in 2010. Zanardi change sport to handbiking, with the goal of representing Italy at the 2012 London Summer Paralympics games. Last week at the Paralympics games he won gold medals in the Individual H4 time trial and the Individual H4 road race at Brands Hatch (were he never won a race in his racing career) were the event is held, followed by a silver medal in the Mixed H1-4 Team Relay.



And now, Alex Zanardi may return to the Paralympic games in Rio de Janiero in 2016 after winning two gold medals and a silver medals in this years Paralympic games if he wants to do it. And Zanardi also stated he would be interested in return to racing for the 2013 Indianapolis 500, which has never raced before.

And so contractions from me and many fans around the world too for those medals and inspiration to people that the impossible is possible, "if you love what you do the result is just a logical coincidence" from Zanardi himself from the interview above on Youtube (2:40 in the video).

So Forza Zanardi!
