The 14 year wonder boy Moin Junnedi has made it to the India book of records as the “youngest swimmer with Locomotive disability”.

He swum for 200 mtrs and floated continuously for an hour. Moin participated in the 10th Paralympic Swimming Championship for the disabled in Kolkata on October 9, 2009 and won two gold medals. He also won a gold medal at the Bellary National Meet on July 9, 2010.

Moin suffers from Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI and sometimes known as brittle bone disease) People with OI are born with defective connective tissue, or without the ability to make it, usually because of a deficiency of Type-I collagen which make their bones very brittle and can cause easy fractures.Moin Junnedi
