No legs, yet world record in running

Sports Desk: Zion Clark of Toronto suffers from a rare genetic disease from birth. He was born without legs. However, it did not stop in any way. Earlier this year, he set a Guinness World Record for the fastest 20 meters with both hands in 4.8 seconds.

Now Zion's desire is towards Olympic stardom. Zion, a 24-year-old American athlete, developed a complex disease called Codal Regression Syndrome in her womb. It did not develop much of his legs and spine. Seeing such a situation, Zion's parents left her in an orphanage. Zion grew up in America's Foster Care. There was always neglect and torture. Zion has been repeatedly ridiculed by her classmates at school. But he did not stop. Physical disability could not stand in the way of his work. He had a penchant for sports since his school days. He used to take part in wrestling every year in school sports competitions. Most of the time he would have won. He also started the practice of walking long distances with his hands on his hips.

Zion was adopted by a woman named Kimberly Hawkins from Foster Care System. Hawkins drew Zion to him with affection and love like a child. Inspired by him, Zion has become one of America's foremost athletes. Last January, he ran 20 meters in 4.8 seconds. Recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records as the shortest running athlete by hand. After the Guinness record, Clarke now has millions to compete in the upcoming Olympics.

He wants to take part in wrestling not only in the Paralympics, but also in the Olympics. And he is ready to run in the Paralympic wheelchair race. More history is going to be written as soon as his wish is fulfilled. Zion Clark will be the first American athlete to compete in both the Olympics and the Paralympics.
