A double amputee soldier from Georgia, who was seriously injured while serving in Afghanistan, has set a world record for planche push-ups, Daily Mail reported yesterday.

Corporal Temur Dadiani, 22, lost both his legs after standing on an improvised explosive device while serving in Helmand province in August 2011, the report said.

Cpl Dadiani has now successfully set a new world record by performing 36 planche push-ups in just 38.25 seconds, according to the report.

The "amputee push-ups" record attempt was held at The Ministry of Defence of Georgia, in Tbilisi, yesterday, the report said.

A planche push-up is a difficult form of exercise which requires good strength and balance in order to hold yourself up using your arms only.

Cpl Dadiani was watched in his world record attempt by friends, colleagues, and Vakhtang Kapanadze, Chief of General Staff of the Georgian Armed Forces, according to the report.
