After he claimed his first success in Paralympic Games in London in the H4 category’s time trial event on Wednesday, Alessandro Zanardi took a second gold medal in the individual road race.
The Italian driver, who lost his legs in a horrifying crash at the Lausitzring in Indycar back in 2001, competed in his first Paralympic Games this year in the H4 (wheel chair) category.
This is his second gold medal for Zanardi, who will now be looking for a third victory in the team relay race on Saturday.
Ironically, the H4 races of the events in the Paralympic Games used parts of the Brands Hatch circuit, where Zanardi raced in cars.
