Zanardi!!!

[libra65]

Congrats to Alex Zanardi!! He proves once again that he is a true champion-winning Gold today in the 16K handbike competition at the paraolympics at Silverstone. This man is a true inspiration by having such a positive attitude in all he undertakes. You inspire me everyday, Alex!!

Almost forgot--Vasser promised him a car for the 500 if he won gold. See ya at Indy Alex!!

He looks in better shape now than we he was a driver, and he was in great shape then, but look at those arms, this guy is a serious athlete.

What I've learned in life is that the results you get are a simple consequence of the effort you put into it.

And today he rounded things off with a silver in the relay. :champion:

[Mark]

The man is an inspiration to anyone who has paid any attention to his accomplishments. A pretty darn good driver in his day, not the very best perhaps, but his spirit is an example for all to try for.

Not the best. Two championships aren't enough? Ok not the best on ovals but awesome on road courses.

[Mark]

He never raced in F1. That was... someone else ;)

[jarrambide]

This Halloween I'm going to be Zanardi, last year I dressed as Superman, this is the only way to improve the character.

What an inspiration to us all. Alex is not just a great man/athlete/dad/husband he is also a placebo to those who want to give up. Don't!
