Teen Who Lost His Legs in Botched Abortion Makes State Wrestling Championships

Nik Hoot is quite the athlete. He's a successful wrestler at a high school - a fact that would likely earn him news coverage anyway. But Nik has overcome the kind of obstacles very few encounter.

You see, Nik is a well-rounded athlete in spite of the fact that he is missing parts of both legs and doesn't have a fully developed set of fingers. The Indiana teenager lives with these disabilities because his biological parents - an unknown couple from Russia - attempted to abort Nik. Ref. Source 4

Hoot Nik

A great example that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to, I wish I had those kind of guts.
