13. Have you ever tried to run on all fours? This guy has a world record for being the fastest!
Sure, as humans don’t run as fast as we want to, but that’s what mother nature gave us. However, this human has found a very interesting way of running that seems not human but is fantastic to watch. Meet Kenichi Ito from Setagaya, Japan. One day he decided he would study how monkeys run on all fours and go as fast as he can. He started training over a decade ago and researched monkeys’ movements by going to zoos and watching videos online.
So in 2013, he put all his training and studying to the test in the field. Kenichi Ito ran 100m track in 16.87 seconds! However, that doesn’t stop there. In 2015 he decided to try it again, and shockingly, he broke his record to 15.71 seconds which still stands to this day. Even if this achievement is awe-inspiring and very cool to watch, it’s still not as fast as running on two legs. In comparison, Usain Bolt is the 100m world record holder, covering 100m in just 9.58 seconds. We still have to admire the dedication and training that Kenichi Ito has to run just like a monkey.
