THE THREE LIVES OF ALEX ZANARDI, THE ATHLETE OF THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGES
"The destiny of man is in character“. Heraclitus, Ephesus 5th century a. C.
Alex Zanardi, a Bolognese racing driver, is an exceptional man; it has become a myth about how it has passed the hard tests of fate.
Not that he had chosen an easy job: every morning of his professional life was a very high risk,however well calculated, he has his baggage of fatality.
His first life until the frightening car accident in Lausitz - was a fluctuation of successes and not always excellent results.
It is in the second life, after the loss of both legs, that Alex‘s sporting genius is unleashed, and his bold pilot spirit makes him conquer important titles from 2005 to the following years, in competition of world importance.
His love of life and sport turned him into a para-cycling champion and in 2011 he set a new record in the handbike category.
In 2012 he won the Rome marathon, setting the course record. In the same year, Zanardi won gold in the race against time on the Brands Hatch circuit. Since then he has achieved success after another in international para-Olympic competitions.
In this second existence full of euphoria and passion supported by an exhausting training job, is Alex Zanardi the champion of willpower? Not only this.
He is a generous man who has involved hundreds of disabled people around the world in his new adventure, giving them strength and confidence with his example.
Today after another bad shot of fate,Alex is at the appointment with his third life.
We wish him rich, intense and selfless as the previous ones for him, his family and for all those who are sporting and not who follow and admire him.
