An athlete with cerebral palsy who was told he’d live in a vegetative state is feeling on top of the world after making history at the Barcelona Marathon.
Àlex Roca Campillo (Spain) completed the race in 5 hr 50 min 51 sec, earning himself the Guinness World Records title of fastest marathon (CIH) (male).
CIH refers to the disability category that Àlex falls under.
Àlex’s record title has brought him a lot of attention in his homeland, with him already appearing on Spanish TV chat show El Hormiguero and on the cover of Runner’s World Spain magazine.
