The Fastest Man
in the World

Born without hands or feet, Tony Volpentest learned to run on carbon fiber before most people believed it was possible. He set {{ wrTotalPhrase }} — the last of them 11.36 for the 100m at Atlanta 1996 — and left the track after the Sydney Games in 2000. Two of those six are the same race twice in one afternoon: at Barcelona in 1992 the 200 meters record fell in the semifinal at 23.97, then fell again in the final at 23.07.

The proof was.

The medals are the origin story. What came after — the keynote stages, the book, and now a feature film — is the reason he’s still on the road three decades later.
