Japanese man breaks speed record for running on all fours

Sept. 24 (UPI) — A Japanese man channeled his inner quadruped and broke a Guinness World Record by running 328 feet in 14.55 seconds — on all fours.

Ryusei Yonee, 22, broke the record for fastest 100 meters running on all fours, beating American Collin McClure’s 2022 time of 15.66 seconds.

Yonee said he has been running on all fours since middle school.

  1. Is there a category for moving like a spider on all fours with your hands behind your back and feet out front? We used to do that a lot as kids, and I might still be pretty good at it.

  2. WTF for? This guy’s feat is just as practically useful as throwing a disc really far, jumping over something by using a pole, or doing the breast stroke (the silliest method of water locomotion ever devised). And don’t get me started on the practicality of Synchronized Swimming.

    The only truly practical real-world event is the Olympic Biathlon: alternating XC skiing and rifle shooting. That’s a bit more useful than getting your horse to dance backwards.
