Zanardi, 53, who had both legs amputated almost 20 years ago after a car accident, lost control of his handbike during a relay race in Tuscany, Italy.
Zanardi was subsequently airlifted to the Santa Maria alle Scotte hospital in Siena, where he underwent a three-hour emergency neurological operation and was put into an induced coma.
“The stability of the general clinical condition and the neurological picture made it possible to transfer … to a specialized center for recovery and functional rehabilitation,” the report says.
So Alex Zanardi was translated today. [Tuesday] to another object.
“Today, a new journey begins for Alex Zanardi,” added the general director of the hospital, Valtere Giovannini.
The Italian is an incredibly popular figure. He trained for the Tokyo Paralympics this year, hoping to add to his impressive gold medal roster.
