42-year-old Philip Kroizon
42-year-old Philip Kroizon ever made history by becoming the first person without arms and legs, who swam the English Channel.
Philip became disabled 16 years ago, when he lost a limb after a terrible accident - he received an electric shock when repairing a TV antenna. Two years ago he saw a documentary about the swimmers who swim the English Channel, and decided to do the same. He began to train for 30 hours a week and ordered for himself a special suit.
And it all happened. He swam across the channel width of 35, 4 kilometers, which separates England and France.
He swam from England to 7 am, and got to France at 21:13. A few hours earlier than expected ...
