Chris Stipdonk from Team N.W.T. has broken two records at the Arctic Winter Games by hopping 66.142 meters (217 feet) on his knuckles, setting a new Arctic Winter Games record and surpassing his own world record. Stipdonk, who has faced numerous challenges in his athletic journey, noted the intense physical demands of the knuckle hop, which often leaves competitors with bleeding knuckles. Stipdonk’s achievement comes after years of training and competing, particularly against Kyle Worl, the son of the previous record holder.
