|
|

Guiliano Stroe, a five-year-old who has been called the world's strongest boy,
|
|
caused a sensation when he performed 20 air press-ups live on Romanian
|
|
television.
|
|
|
|
The physically demanding exercises, which involve raising the body from a
|
|
horizontal position into a handstand with the feet never touching the ground,
|
|
are more commonly performed by adult bodybuilders.
|
|
|
|
But the young Romanian, who has been lifting weights since the age of two,
|
|
broke his second Guinness World Record by performing the gruelling task 20
|
|
times in a row, destroying the previous high of 12.
|
|
|
|
His first world record came last year when he claimed the title for the
|
|
quickest ten-metre handstand walk - which he completed while holding a heavy
|
|
ball between his legs.
|
|
|
|
Iulian Stroe, a 33-year-old former gymnast, said his son enjoys striking macho
|
|
poses and performing to crowds in Italy, where he lives.
|
|
|
|
He added that the boy, who has a washboard stomach and bulging shoulder
|
|
muscles, also takes pleasure in more normal children's pastimes such as
|
|
painting and watching cartoons.
|
|
|
|
He said: "I took him with me to training at the gym ever since he was born.
|
|
|
|
"But he's still only a child and if he gets tired or bored we go and play."
|
|
|
|
The _Metro _newspaper reported that a boy previously named the world's
|
|
strongest, Richard Sandrak, from America, is believed to have given up
|
|
weightlifting.
|
|
|
|
According to reports the boy, now 17, had been trained by his father since the
|
|
age of three but had since lost interest in the sport.
