00:04we celebrate two gold medals one silver no one knows anymore
00:13not only mine had a hard time taking off the plane with all the gold we have
00:17brought home with the Paralympic national team well well beautiful adventure then alex
00:26then we will see the cover of his latest book but one thing is interesting
00:36she crossed Briatore's world, let's say, to arrive in a dimension
00:44completely different he didn't leave he conquered let's say that world that of
00:49Formula 1 was a glittering world, there is an important world, no, and then
00:56suddenly he had this incredible transition from one condition to another
01:03what happens what goes on in the head of a person used to let's say this rumble of
01:13formula 1 engine when this engine stops for a bang for a boom but I believe
01:23that as a child I was always very curious I was always fascinated by things that worked
01:28apparently alone understand how and why certain things worked I remember when my grandfather
01:35he gave me a rear-loading motorbike, in short, my grandfather, in addition to not having much money, had
01:41even the arms were quite short no and so he had already spent two pennies he had broken the soldering iron
01:46to give me this gift he found that I had completely dismantled it and he pulled his hair out
01:51but that aspect of my character certainly helped me a lot in my
01:56sporting path it is undoubted that along the way I have also evidently highlighted a talent
02:03predisposition for driving cars but I think that working on yourself and trying to understand how
02:09every day can be an opportunity to add something to create a new point
02:14starting point for the next day to improve that thing that doesn't always but maybe brings us to the
02:20times to move mountains to make even the big dreams goals that can be achieved I'll tell you
02:26I managed to get great satisfaction in motoring before the accident.
02:34sporty then I got this lightning bolt between the neck and I think that the anomaly even if it is then
02:40up to a certain point to have remained curious about a condition that normally generates in us a
02:46form of prejudice because no one is attracted to a wheelchair in reality if that wheelchair
02:52It takes me from A to B more easily. I go there more willingly with those than with prostheses because they
02:58prostheses also make me struggle, I'm happy that I managed to transform this aid into
03:03a step forward compared to certain situations but then what interests me is how to live the
03:09my life in the best way possible and if I need a wheelchair to do this that's fine
03:16even the wheelchair here it is from my point of view no when one wants to outline a manifesto
03:23of optimism no one could say ba that is zanardi it's him let's say optimism the desire for the future the
03:30desire to move forward etc. in any case in any condition but I want to tell you I want to ask you
03:36but actually she was inside this world of glittering success like Formula 1
03:44beautiful women engines roaring something crazy suddenly at this accident
03:53that subjects her to, let's say, I don't say, three days in a coma, 16, 16 damn operations, one
04:03What
04:03a terrible ordeal but she says I never had a moment in which I didn't think I could
04:12move on, that is, he really never had a moment in which he told her a moment of sadness
04:18a moment when you thought things had stopped there seems to want to make me a
04:26complement answering your question logically but I have to be honest no actually I was
04:31when asked how I had reacted in such a situation the answer I gave myself was completely
04:36different from the reality that I then experienced, what is certain is that the moment I opened my eyes again after
04:42eight days of how everything that had happened in that period the question I asked myself
04:48it was instead of asking myself but how will I live without legs I scratched my head saying but
04:54as
04:54I'll do all the things I have to do without my legs but I'll find a way actually I was
04:59simply
05:00happy to be alive and to have seen something in what had happened to me right away
05:07which one could also see as an opportunity somehow put me on a path that then led me
05:16carried
05:17I know it seems like an exaggeration but I think that the accident was perhaps the biggest
05:23opportunity
05:24of my life because in my life I'm very comfortable I do a lot of extremely things
05:29exciting ones that are all connected to my new condition, not least the fact that I have faced an Olympics
05:34at almost 50 years old a Paralympics sorry at almost 50 years old it's all in all after all many guys are
05:40even arrived behind so listen this is called I wanted I just wanted to pedal no his book
05:51it's a bit of a metaphor for what we're telling ourselves, of course it's a bit of a metaphor but it's there
05:55an episode that I
05:57I find it crazy, no, the one at the motorway restaurant, that is, she arrives with her car, she drives whatever she wants
06:07defines a big car that are seen as I mean the representation of the devil is one thing
06:14rampant who then discovered that getting angry is one of the things he does best which today is a great one of my
06:22my friend's name is Vittorio Spodestà who had this tool anchored to the roof of his car
06:27from the fact that we were aiming for the same parking lot, that is, you arrive in front of her parking lot and she always
06:37with this desire that is between optimism but always that of winning no let's say there was a little
06:43the one to arrive first says no but I'll get in first he wanted to get in so he told me
06:50immediately looked askance, in short I stopped then the wife was already coming down for
06:56say but she has the permit she can park here and when he recognized me he did it immediately
07:00reassured no no no go calmly he has the permit and what permit does this one have and then
07:06this discussion started after seeing that car, well that's what I was saying before, look at the
07:12things without prejudice no that tool that he had on the roof he became a child again like in the times that of the
07:18I talked to her grandfather and she saw this strange thing and I understood immediately what it was.
07:24That
07:24It was a sports aid for a person with a different ability but it intrigued me as much as
07:29technically well executed, that project was almost dismantled, damn it, really then
07:35I started asking him questions and eventually you see everything that came after was the part
07:42the path was more beautiful, certainly at the very moment in which, by working so hard on myself, I achieved
07:49a level that led me to believe that I could win the medal it is logical that I also had
07:54the ambition to go and get that medal but ambition is something that surely
08:00strengthens the passion but you are in greater measure and guides us towards a horizon that others have reached is
08:07It's unthinkable to get there because ambition without passion never leads you to fail.
08:12absolutely I firmly believe that I started winning my medals in bed
08:19of the hospital with that attitude that remained of a curious person who was eager to understand that
08:24that life could continue at a standstill and I was convinced that there could be something good in everything
08:29that's for sure I crossed the line in front of the others I was very happy I want to ask you a question
08:35no, not in the final which cannot be misunderstood because I wouldn't want it to be
08:41politically exploited because she knows there is a big debate on this
08:46Olympics yes Olympics no so to put it objectively in an objective way I will say that
08:53It's normal that if you have the Olympics you shouldn't steal, this is something we all have
08:58convinced that it must happen but it is also normal that if a city cannot do it
09:05allow it to be done can decide not to do these Olympics no so we are not entering
09:10these are speeches that politicians make and we leave them, we don't want to talk about this but
09:18we want to talk about something else these Olympics come from far away they even come from ancient
09:24Greece no and they were games where however there was something that made you dream now in the debate of
09:32These days I have heard not criticism about the opportunity to do them or not but almost a saying
09:41it's better that they don't happen it's better that these Olympics don't happen anymore because in
09:46basically they are waste people move from one place to another they consume fuel it is better that
09:51we are a little more relaxed, but she thinks that it is essential that there is a moment of dreaming
10:00a space in which you cannot give up having a moment that the whole world watches and
10:05he says let's see what these athletes do then I start by saying that I saw two sides of the same coin
10:14I won the medal at the Olympics in London where everything was perfect and the organizers even
10:21those who politically thought of nominating their city to host the Olympics have left
10:29from an urban plan that placed the construction of an Olympic village at the
10:35end of a metro line that was still to be built, which however also allowed for
10:41to redevelop neighborhoods that were in a situation of the no degree has been done
10:46extremely intelligent that Olympic village when we arrived we saw immediately
10:50which would have been one of the most sought after areas for those who wanted to settle so etc. and I saw
10:57exactly the opposite, that is, while I was talking on the phone with my wife, the pole fell down
11:01I fell twice from the toilet after showering on my head and the seat came off in Rio village.
11:10how can I say a village that you see is already dilapidated from the start that's what I want
11:16to say we should try to understand what we want to do long live Italy she rightly
11:23he does journalism and he does it very well, investigative and denunciatory journalism this evening denounced
11:29a situation that is real but I will say something very banal Italy is not only this
11:33because tonight the lights wouldn't even have been turned on, in fact there is an Italy that works
11:39very good in which I am one of the first to believe and for this very reason since
11:43I believe that all Italians or the majority of Italians would agree that having the guarantee
11:50to be able to organize the games as they did in London the London games have
11:55left a city that was clearly better than London was before the games probably
12:01having that guarantee everyone would agree in saying let's do it, how cool is that?
12:06Let's have the Olympics in Italy, our athletes to show that we Italians what
12:13But remember that you are talking to someone who, when he is 50, someone says to him, but where do you want?
12:20go and big head said no in my opinion there is a possibility and I went to do the
12:25Olympics and I brought home a gold I believe that having an attitude where you say you can do it
12:31we can do this is a good opportunity the country is perhaps ready it could be useful
12:36it could have been useful and above all in my opinion we need it was said this evening we have
12:44I need a savior, the name escapes me, the perfect singer, we need positive role models because
12:55we are the fruit of the education we receive and of the stimuli that come to us in the world that we
13:01surrounds well and yet alex wanted he just wanted to pedal no and us too this evening
