Aries is the World Record Holder in 110m Hurdles and the 2012 Olympic Champion. Despite qualifying for the 2013 World Championships, Aries found himself struggling to stay healthy. Upon seeing specialists at the Mayo Clinic, Aries was diagnosed with collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a rare congenital kidney disease, aggravated by a parvovirus that had attacked his kidneys and bone marrow. In 2015, it was decided that a kidney transplant was the best course of action, though Aries decided to wait until after the World Championships in Beijing to have his season-ending surgery. Amazingly, despite having less than 15% kidney function, Aries managed to qualify for the final in Beijing and won the bronze medal. Just four days after his medal-winning run, Aries underwent his transplant, receiving a kidney donated by his sister, Toya. After a break, Aries is back hurdling again and confirmed his fitness with being ranked number 3 in the world in 2017. Aries is a great asset to have given his story. He is great on social media, very easy going and very good at any kind of activations.
