Man with Stunted Arms Shows Off Incredible Table Tennis Skills

A man with stunted arms has defied expectations to play table tennis with a racket strapped to his shortened right arm.

Even more impressive is the skill Luiz Henrique Medina, commonly known as Kaike, displays with the racket, exhibiting a ferocious forehand and a backhand almost as deadly with unnerving precision.

According to ITTF.com, Kaike is a Class 6 athlete who won silver and bronze medals at the Parapan Games in 2007. Kimberly Kill of the Costa Rican Table Tennis Federation reveals more of his challenging past.

"He is a man who, despite physical limitations, has been able to play with only half of his arms, a lack of language and no legs," she said. "He attended the San Francisco school after being abandoned by his mother outside a hospital."

Inspirational stuff.
