Are there any tasks impossible for IShowSpeed? That’s up for debate. The young streamer has not only gathered a massive audience and a dedicated fanbase, but he has also accomplished feats that even some of the most eccentric record holders from the Guinness World Records wouldn't be ashamed of.
He has jumped over two moving cars, drifted with Wojtek Gola in a compact car under the National Stadium in Warsaw, and recently collaborated with MrBeast. This collaboration resulted in organizing a race for $100,000. IShowSpeed went head-to-head with Olympic champion Noah Lyles and lost only barely. Some critics claim that Lyles gave him a head start, but the truth remains unknown. The influencers are set to meet again next year for a rematch.
IShowSpeed does not train regularly but tries his hand at various sports. After an exciting session with the runner, the streamer invited over Frederik "Flips" Richard, an American gymnast and bronze medalist from this year's Paris Olympics. Together, they participated in many challenges at the trampoline park.
IShowSpeed impressed the Olympic champion
The entire stream with IShowSpeed and Flips lasted over five hours. One of the most noteworthy segments was when they both jumped onto special blocks, taking a short run-up beforehand. The Olympian did this effortlessly and followed it up by performing a backflip when jumping down.
Surprisingly, IShowSpeed also completed the challenge. The video states that the stack is about 5 feet 11 inches, but considering Speed's height (about 5 feet 9 inches), it's likely that the blocks were approximately 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 3 inches high.
Nevertheless, this achievement is worthy of admiration. Without regular training, it's hard to imagine pulling off something like that, yet Speed looked like he didn’t even break a sweat. Fans are curious about what he could achieve if he started training professionally in running or jumping and believe he possesses a genetic advantage over "ordinary people.” The streamer didn't manage to pull off a perfect double backflip from a standstill, but for the first attempt, he did great, and the challenge will surely be attempted again.
