Impressive



I don't know much about the sport but I know this is an impressive accomplishment.

From ABC 15...
Saturday night in Philadelphia, Robles propelled himself with crutches onto the mat and into history becoming the first college wrestler to win an NCAA championship with only one leg.

Robles from Mesa was born with only one leg. His mother always told him he was born for a reason, but Robles didn't realize that reason was wrestling until high school when he first went out for the team.

Robles quickly learned that what others considered a disability was actually an advantage for him. After walking on crutches most of his life, Robles now had a vice like grip that won't let go, along with a huge heart that won't quit.
