Losing your legs often means the end of a career and life in a wheelchair. But not for racing car
driver Alex Zanardi.
Zanardi, originally from Italy, first raced in Formula One in 1992. After that, he started IndyCar
racing. He won two championships, and he became a very popular driver in the USA. Then the
accident happened.
It was during a Champ car race at Lausitzring, Germany, in 2001. Another car hit him,
destroying Zanardi’s car and his legs. Zanardi had many reasons to feel furious and upset. But
instead, he stayed optimistic about the future and started building a new life.
What type of life can a man with no legs have? According to Zanardi, a very good one, but only
with a lot of hard work. At first it was difficult, but Zanardi never stopped trying. One day, he got
out of bed by himself. Then, he went to the bathroom without help.
Two years after his accident, Zanardi started racing again in a car with special controls. Four
years after he lost his legs, he won a World Touring Car Championship race. Next, he raced a
BMW Formula One car. And in 2007, he started hand cycling. He became an expert at this
special type of bike riding, and he’s got gold medals in the sport. That’s amazing even for a
man with two legs!
