At the 2012 London Olympics, Tyler Clary won the 200 Backstroke.

Nine years later, he underwent successful open heart surgery to fix a leaky aortic valve. For every pint of blood his heart tried to pump, ½ a pint flowed backwards.

He won Olympic gold with a heart operating at only 70% efficiency.

Unbelievable.

Enjoy!
