The remarkable feats of this three-year-old have earned him the nickname “natural gymnast,” sparking widespread amazement and discussion among mainland netizens.
The boy, whose name has not been disclosed, hails from Taizhou in Zhejiang province and has demonstrated an uncanny ability to support his weight and climb since a very young age.
His mother, surnamed Xu, shared that he has been lively and energetic since birth; even before turning two, he could sway effortlessly while holding onto the armrests of a chair.
Concerned for his safety yet recognising his innate talent, his parents decided to purchase a set of children’s parallel bars online. To their astonishment, he quickly mastered the equipment.
Encouraged by his progress, the family later added rings and a horizontal bar to their home, where the boy now practises daily, showcasing impressive coordination and flexibility.
