Boy Turns 231 Successive Somersaults



(www.jx.xinhua.org) ¨C Zhong Wenwang, 5-year-old boy from Xinjian county, Jiangxi province, can turn more than 200 somersaults successively.

"He's got a strong constitution, usually barefoot in winter," said his father, "and is fond of physical activities, especially turning somersaults." When he goes somewhere, he likes turning somersaults along his way.

When other boys did about dozen somersaults on average, they felt dizzy, and turned red. But Zhong can turn 231 successive somersaults within 8 minutes and 10 seconds with no sweat.

"I hope to train him as an athlete, winning gold medal for Jiangxi," said hid father.
