Zion Clark is a legless wrestler who dreams of conquering the Olympics and proving to school bullies who laughs last. Clark who was born without a lower body due to a genetic disorder revealed how the support of his foster family allowed him to explore the world of professional wrestling and get to where he is today.
The 22-year-old from Ohio was born with tailbone withdrawal syndrome, a severe disorder that impairs the development of the lower spine. He explained that he grew up in foster families and often suffered from bullying in light of the fact that he had no legs. His adoptive mother, Kimberly, was always there by his side to encourage him. Thanks to the dedicated support of Kimberly, today Zion is close to being one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. He told the Daily Mail: "I started wrestling in second grade. When I was really small, in my first games, I did not know what to do and my opponent did not know either. Some of the kids were afraid to wrestle me - and I was afraid to wrestle with them. I did not know what I was doing. "Time, I did a lot of training and a lot of mistakes along the way. Years of testing and fighting to figure out what would work. Today I train twice a day, about six days a week. It's a routine, it's a lifestyle. The fact that I was born without legs never stopped me from doing the things I want to do." .

Score suffered at school and would often react angrily to students' comments. "Kids would laugh at me because I had no legs," he said, "The best way to deal with haters is to use hatred to lift yourself up. Your haters are your biggest supporters - use that to your advantage. School was not my best period "But when I finished school I became the creators, I enrolled in college and started doing what I really wanted to do."

The main reason Zion managed to change his life for the better was his mother's positive outlook. Zion said: "The relationship with my mother is fantastic. She is the most amazing woman I know." For a score in his future right now there are infinite possibilities and he will never stop aiming high. He said: "What are my dreams and aspirations? One day to reach the Olympic team and be one of the best freestyle wrestlers in the world." He added: "My biggest lesson for life is that things will not always go your way. You have to work with what you have. Once you are able to work with what you have, many doors will just start to open."
