Italian handcyclist Alex Zanardi takes the IPC's top moment of 2012
after winning two Paralympic golds on the same course he competed on as
a Formula 1 driver. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has
revealed that Italian handcyclist Alex Zanardi's London 2012
performance comes in as No. 1 in its Top 50 Paralympic Moments of 2012.
The 45-year-old became a global sensation after winning gold in the
men's individual H4 time trial and road race at Brands Hatch, 21 years
after racing there as a Formula 1 driver. He was voted the IPC's Male
Athlete of the Month for August/September for his performance, which
also included a silver with his Italian teammates in the mixed team
relay H1-4. Zanardi lost both his legs when he was injured in the
American Memorial 500 cart event in Germany in September 2001. About
