Strongest boy in the World

[Pferdestarke]

This is both amazing and sad at the same time. Let's hope he doesn't get pushed in to doing anything he doesn't want to and that he grows in to a normal, well-rounded adult!

Its more the handstandy balancing stuff, requires massive upper body strength to do that, think gymnasts on the horse and rings.

You're right about it being a bit disturbing though,

The first thing I wondered about was child development (health) and one of the comments seems quite informative. Just goes to show, yet again, even if you have a womb it doesn't mean you have the right to use it.

Interesting, so I take it you all take a dim view on teen gymnasts.

As they will mostly of started at this age.

Or tiger woods for starting golf so early?

[mybrainhurts]

That's nothing...

I could crush a grape at his age...

Yep. That's not good for the body. In any case, the research is out there.

Same thing goes for body conditioning in martial arts. Bloody stupid although impressive.

Tiger Woods? Did he go through extreme training or just play a lot? I don't know what sort of training is involved.

Typical. I go to search online for university research on long term effects of extreme gymnastics training and find sod all.

It must be fine, then.

brilliant stuff - will prob be from a family of gymnasts and growing up in the family business

if he keeps that up he will be an olympic champion at 16

Probably some Russian family who have forced the boy to lift weights since he was two, and neglected to think that he is a child, not an adult, or a gravy train.

There is a documentary on some other kid a few years older, and a similar one of a girl, about the same age, forced to do ballet and gymnastics all day every day by her parents.

Not likely since men can't compete in the Olympics in gymnastics until they are 18.

[Slagathore]

Google Little Hercules. That is even more disturbing!

There was a documentary on him ages ago.

I think it unfolded that his dad had been giving him drugs?

I have a longer reach and he is knee height

[Lord Flathead]

I don't like that it just looks wrong to me. He's well cut already... at the ripe old age of 4

Sure he will be something special but then he misses out on a normal childhood - whatever that is!

[Neil_H]

As long as he's happy and healthy, I don't see the problem.

Surely as a Ninja you'll have been trained in the art of assassination and infiltration since the age of 4, which would be equally as dangerous IMHO.

[grumbledoak]

Impressive. But, some 'feats of strength' are much easier for children than adults- anyone try to climb a rope hand over hand recently?

I doubt it is healthy for a child to have so little body fat though; he's still got a lot of growing to do. Heading for 'Sly' Stallone territory would be my guess.

I don't know what is involved exactly no.

However the only way a lot of people go to the top of the game is by starting at a very early age.

If that was in Russia or China 4 year old training full time is not so unusual.
