Visit the "world's shortest man" in Colombia

In recognition of the record of the "most modest" person in the world at 72.1 cm, Guinness World Records judge Natalia Ramirez presented the title to Mr. Hernandez at a medical clinic in the city. Hometown Bogota, Colombia. The ceremony took place in accordance with social distancing rules, in the presence of family and orthopedic doctors.

From birth, the boy Hernandez developed normally like his peers. However, when he started to be 4 years old, the family realized that Hernandez was barely growing anymore, while his friends continued to grow to a remarkable height. Parents took the boy Hernandez to the hospital for examination and advice from doctors but to no avail. Twenty years later, the doctor confirmed that severe hypothyroidism was the cause of Mr. Hernandez's ability to grow naturally.

However, his modest height did not become a reason for Mr. Hernandez to lose his optimism and joy in enjoying life. Sometimes, he even performs street dances in musical styles from Reggaeton, Merengue to Vallenato.
