Japanese man sets new 100m record...
Kenichi Ito from Japan recently set a new record for the 100m by 'running' on all fours! Taking 17.47 seconds, it was a new Guinness World record. Apparently, his style is based on the African Patas monkey and it has taken him nine years to perfect his technique.
Why anyone would want to 'run' on all fours is another question? Only in Japan ;o)
