Former Formula 1 racer and four-time Paralympic champion Alex Zanardi has been moved to a medical centre following a fire at his villa, according to Italian media.
Zanardi raced for the likes of Jordan, Minardi, Lotus and Williams across two spells in the 1990s, but later lost his legs in a horrific crash while racing in Champ Cars. The Italian 'died' seven times as doctors scrambled to save him, and was eventually revived.
Despite the double amputation, he later returned to racing in the World Touring Cars before switching to para-cycling. That proved to be his real forte as he took gold medals at London 2012 and repeated the trick four years later in Rio.
