“He’s been with us for a few weeks.” The wife of Alex Zanardi h announced that the former Paralympic pilot and champion has finally returned home. He left the clinic where he had been hospitalized for several months and will continue the rehabilitation at home. “Alex was able to leave the hospital a few weeks ago and is now back home with us. We have waited a long time for this to happen and we are very happy that it was possible now, even if in the future there will still be temporary stays in special clinics to carry out specific rehabilitation measures on the spot “, reads the interview with Daniela Zanardi on the website BMW of which Zanardi is brand ambassador.
The warmth of family and home will be a further stimulus for recovery. “After a long time in the hospital it is important for him to return to his family. For a year and a half, Alex only had people with masks and protective equipment around him and his visits were very limited. Now we are with Alex all day, he is in his family environment and therefore can return to a minimum to normal. This gives it extra strength. We are very grateful to the medical staff of the clinics where he was treated ».
Zanardi is working to recover after the accident that took place on June 19, 2020. The 55-year-old former driver was run over by a truck during a charity handbike race, on Statale 146 in the Pienza area, in the Sienese area. Zanardi’s vehicle ended up in the lane of the truck which was unable to avoid it. His conditions immediately appeared very serious. The first operations at the Scotte di Siena polyclinic, then the transfer to Lecco and Milan and then to a clinic closer to home, in the Padua area.
As in his entire life, the driver, who lost his legs in an accident in 2001, never stopped fighting. As a Paralympic athlete he won four golds and two silvers, becoming an example for many athletes and ordinary people. “Wonderful news for our world,” said Coni president Giovanni Malagò. “It’s the best Christmas present we could have received”, added the president of the Paralympic Committee, Luca Pancalli.
