Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a man without arms, Zheng Tao, dominated the Paralympic swimming games going on in Tokyo as he won a total number of four golds.
It was gathered that after winning the medals at the contest, he told his daughter in a video message:
“Daughter, look at me - I can swim so fast even though I don’t have arms!”
The man dominated in areas like freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly even though he lost both his arms to an electric shock as a child.
