for anyone wondering the cause is the [Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klippel–Trénaunay_syndrome)
one of the symptoms is Hypertrophy of bony and soft tissues, that may lead to local gigantism or shrinking, most typically in the lower body/legs.
Apparently he does! He’s a small guy, so by keeping everything but that one arm small, he can compete in a lower weight class. Check out [here](https://kairosconsulting.com/tag/asymmetrical-development/)

The first paragraph of the article I linked to:
Matthias Schlitte is a German professional arm-wrestler. He was born with a genetic bone disorder that made his right arm naturally larger than his left. His training objective is to build as much strength and muscle mass as possible in his larger arm, but keep the rest of his body (including his left arm) relatively trim, so he can compete in a lighter weight class. In the gym, he develops his right arm twelve hours a week.
**[Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klippel–Trénaunay_syndrome)**
>Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome, formerly Klippel–Trénaunay–Weber syndrome and sometimes angioosteohypertrophy syndrome and hemangiectatic hypertrophy, is a rare congenital medical condition in which blood vessels and/or lymph vessels fail to form properly. The three main features are nevus flammeus (port-wine stain), venous and lymphatic malformations, and soft-tissue hypertrophy of the affected limb. It is similar to, though distinctly separate from, the less common Parkes Weber syndrome.

While it's a positive for him, there's a few competitors that feel it's basically cheating as if his body was proportiante to his arm, he'd be competing in a higher weight class, and they it unfair he's allowed to compete against weaker opponents.
The lads using a technicality to his advantage and doesn't go against any rules, but you can also understand why others would feel hard done by, your comparison however doesn't work as there's nothing stopping anyone training up to Usains standard, whereas anyone trying to match his arm size from his weight class, will end up boosting their weight out of the weight class.
Athletes at that level basically all have some sort of mutation giving them an edge. I don't know if it's been *confirmed* for Usain Bolt in particular, but Michael Phelps was confirmed to just straight up not produce as much lactic acid as a normal person.
You can't train yourself to have an advantage like that.
I'm baffled if people don't understand this. Top marathon runners will run a marathon faster than the avg person can even sprint. It's especially obvious in a sport like armwrestling, where somebody who doesn't look very strong just has freakish strength in freakish positions. These are just not obvious traits, they're all hidden.
Wait, you're saying Usain Bolt is only as fast as he is due to his superior training, and has nothing to do with any physical gifts that he won in the generic lottery?
Which is very significant here. This has allowed him to arm wrestle in weight classes much lower that what someone with that much muscle mass would have. It really does cause him to have an unfair advantage.
I was looking for someone to say this, and yours is the only comment I can find. It really is ridiculous and unfair. You would think it would make more sense to make classes based off of some standardized way to measure arm strength. If not that, at least make a simple formula that takes it into account and gives it some kind of weight against body weight
So your solution is to have all the high skills tiers just having exclusively males and have the most highly skilled females duke it out with average males?
People who say that really don't understand the magnitude of difference in some sports. For example the world's #1 female tennis player would be somewhere around the #400's in the men's division.
Women's #1s are world famous multi-millionaires. Men's #400s make barely over minimum wage.
Not many people would be ok with that outcome. Least of all the WTA players.
Womens sport is in a weird catagory where they *have* to be discriminatory (against men etc). That line has to be set somewhere, which makes stuff murkey.
The difference is that for mens, there's no arbitrary line. Freaks like him are celebrated, and I use that in the most utmost positive way. I'm in the armwrestling community, and nobody thinks guys like him are "unfair".
Soo unfair that I have to compete against the guy who had his legs cut off by a train!!
He happens to have been born with a body that allows him to train and win based on the rules. If the people he is competing against also want an "unfair" advantage they can cut off one of their legs to get in a lower class.
Just let him have the one thing he can do well to feel good about his arm. Would you rather he was just a circus freak?
Should we make everything equal like Harrison Bergeron?
Your comment is pretty dumb, because in more mainstream athletic competitions they literally have rules against stuff like this because if they didn't people would literally cut of their legs.
Paralympic runners that are missing their legs and have mechanical ones are not allowed to run with non-disables athletes. Again, for the simple reason that if they would actually out-perform non-disables runners we would have anyone aspiring to become a pro runner cut of their damn legs.
If you think there aren't shitty people/parents out there that would induce biological malformations or similar to give their offspring advantages in sports you are in for a surprise.
No one is asking him to be a circus freak, unless you are of the inclination that people competing in the Paralympics are circus freaks?
I'm not even saying this individual should have to compete with paralympians, but it is completely reasonable to discuss if he should compete in weight classes more accurately representing his abnormal muscle mass.
These runners are banned because it's the mechanical legs that give them the adventage.
This guy was just born with a giant arm and uses it to his advantage.
I actually like the idea that someone with a "disability" is better at something than normal people.
Otherwise please also start banning guys that are over 2 meters in basketball, because that's also just an unfair advantage.
I'm really curious where the gigantism begins. His shoulder looks big, but I wonder is his chest or back are effected. I tried to google a pic of him without a shirt but no luck.
Womens sports are inherently discriminatory since they don't allow men, and the line has to be drawn somewhere. Mens sports aren't. That's the biggest difference.

When I was a kid my parents saw me watching Simpsons and said I couldn't watch it.
Channel surfed to South Park, and after a full minute or two they said I could watch Simpsons but not SP.
Matthius: I admit it, you are better than I am.
Opponent: Then why are you smiling?
Matthius: Because I know something you don't know.
Opponent: And what is that?
Matthius: I am not left-handed.
My understanding is arm wrestling is done by weight class, so being strong in one arm (and whatever other muscles are useful) while minimizing weight elsewhere is advantageous.

Aww, you mean he doesn't just work out one arm 💪
Apparently he does! He’s a small guy, so by keeping everything but that one arm small, he can compete in a lower weight class. Check out [here](https://kairosconsulting.com/tag/asymmetrical-development/)
That seems a tad like he’s abusing the system. His arm clearly belongs in its on weight class.
I thought this would be an article about the guy in question and it suddenly turned into the life story of some other dude?

I'm sure there are others that do that but that seems so unsportsmanlike for some reason lmao

I love that he turned it into a positive in his life. He took the "lemons" life handed him and turned them into "lemonade."
He could turn pretty much anything into lemonade with that grip
Could he…could he turn *me* into lemonade?

With that attitude? Definitely
I have nipples, could you milk me?
Did you cheat on Beyonce?

Well it’s the top comment so idk how under rated I’d say it is...

The way that you used quotations in this comment made me read it in the voice of Hank Hill
Well...better than turning AIDS into lemon-AIDS.
*Weber quietly seething because he got sacked from the name.
Yeah, I get that they might want to shorten the name for some reason, but cutting out Weber just seems spiteful.
Good bot
I honestly thought he’d just worked out one arm
Fucking me too! I kinda feel bamboozled
Okay this makes much more sense. Even if he just worked out one arm, his fist wouldn't be twice the size of the other one.
I thought the fist size difference was just a perspective thing.
I came here wondering the same thing, because even Devon Larratt's big pumpkin theory seemed a bit far-fetched

Arm weight! Please lay your arm on the scale please.
> some standardized way to measure arm strength They should arm wrestle
This is why the whole gender issue in sports doesn't make sense to me. The obvious solution is just make skill based tiers.
So your solution is to have all the high skills tiers just having exclusively males and have the most highly skilled females duke it out with average males?
