    Zanardi does it again

    I couldn't find a thread for this and I thought it deserved one. I'm delighted to read that Alex Zanardi has won a gold medal in the men's time trial event at the 2016 Paralympics, which he already did in 2012. It's amazing to see how, even after his terrifying 2001 accident, he's managed to have a whole life and still be a successful sportsman. Kudos to him!

    He's just showing everyone else how life is done. Lived to the fullest no matter the challenges along the way.

    He is an amazing guy. Never had the success in F1 he should have but is an inspiration now. Well done Alex Zanardi

    He's an inspiration to even those who don't follow auto racing. Talk about a feel good story.
