Athlete With A Rare Medical Condition Breaks World Records And Becomes The Fastest Man On Hands

Zion Clark, an athlete who was born without legs, has gained popularity as an inspiration to many. Clark was born without legs due to a rare condition called Caudal Regression Syndrome. He set a new record for the fastest man to walk 20 meters on his hands on February 15, 2021, according to Guinness World Records, doing so in 4.78 seconds. He has now accomplished two additional world records.

Clark had set a goal for himself to perform the highest box jump with his hands for the record. He successfully broke the record in his initial attempt by effortlessly clearing 30 inches. Then, he broke his previous record by 33 inches. For his second record, Clark had to beat the previous mark for the most pushups in a three-minute period. He failed his first try because he fell behind by 54 pushups. His second try, though, saw him break the record by performing 248 pushups.

Zion responded that the male diamond pushup record was tougher when asked which record offered a larger challenge.

On Twitter, The Guinness Book of World Records posted a video showing Clark shattering these records. “It’s TWO new records for the man with no excuses, Zion Clark,” was said in the caption.

This video has received numerous likes and comments along with 10,000 views since it was shared.
