Man Without Arms And Legs Swims The Bering Strait
A French swimmer who lacks legs and arms on Friday successfully swam the frigid waters separating Alaska and Russia, with the aid of paddle-like prosthetics. Philippe Croizon, whose limbs were amputated after a 1994 electrical accident when he was just 26, swam from Alaska’s Little Diomede Island, to the Russian maritime border near Big Diomede Island. He completed the approximately 2.5 miles in just over an hour, despite the heavy fog and very cold water. [Philippe Croizon, Limbless Swimmer]: “Just to say that nothing is impossible. We can all succeed in life despite of what happens to us. There is no difference. We are all equal.” Following previous waterway crossings including the English Channel and the Red Sea, Croizon has now linked all 5 major continents. The limbless swimmer seeks to raise awareness of the abilities of handicapped people, and the Bering Strait expedition was assisted by the nonprofit organization Handicap International. Croizon will now travel to London to work as a radio and television commentator during the Paralympic Games.
