Alessandro Zanardi
An Italian racing legend turned champion hand-cyclist, Alessandro Zanardi is shown here after one of his Formula 1 races. Zanardi raced all over the world, and he’s won several races. In 2001, he was involved in a major accident that resulted in the amputation of both of his legs, ending his open-wheeled racing career. But not his athletic career. He’s an Olympic paracyclist for Italy.
