The young Cuban Christian Manuel Castellano Rangel, better known as the "can crusher," has been chosen to participate in Spain's Got Talent television show.
Since childhood, sports have been an essential part of Christian's life. In his adolescence, he discovered a unique talent: his incredible scapular strength. "If I manage to secure the necessary funding to attend this world-renowned event, I will be able to showcase the skills I was born with and those I've developed through hard work. I believe I will finally be able to transcend," he said in an interview with Escambray.
The talented young man recounted that it was in middle school, spurred on by his classmates, when he first attempted to crush a beer can with his shoulder blades after watching a video of a circus strongman. He succeeded, leaving his friends and teachers astonished. From that moment, Christian dedicated himself to perfecting this skill, managing to crush 20 cans in a minute during his first official record attempt in 2019.
He later increased his personal best to 84 cans in a minute, surpassing other international competitors in an attempt to win the Guinness World Records, though the achievement was not officially recognized due to technical measurement issues with the cans.
