RIP Alex Zanardi

I remember watching the race where he lost his legs in that horrible crash. He not only survived, he went on to become a champion racer again. The man never gave up. RIP, Alex.

Heard about this yesterday on BBC.

Paralympic moments for Alex Zanardi:

RIP to a legend.

Sad to hear, wishing him the best. He was a tremendous inspiration for many, especially people with amputations and paralympic atheletes.
