This little sucker, Giuliano, is 5 years-old. His dad pushes him like a boxer on the road to redemption. They say he is the strongest kid in the world and has Guinness World records, but probably won’t learn to spell his name until the age of 10:
That’s because Giuliano is entered in a highly improbable category for a kindergartner: Hand walking. The little guy holds the world record — 10 meters (or 33 feet) for walking on his hands. Forgot to mention: With a weight ball between his legs. But we wanted to hear from a grown-up in that family. We talked to Giuliano’s father and coach, Iulian Stroe to ask why he’s training his 5-year-old like a Navy SEAL. He told us… … that there isn’t anything excessive about his son’s workout routine and that people misjudge him and his young son. “It’s not wrong what we do, because I did the same things [when] I was a little boy and I am healthy and strong,” Stroe wrote in an e-mail. He doesn’t pay much attention to critics who don’t know anything about him or his son. “They say these things because they are lazy people. They find motivation in not doing sport.” That isn’t Giuliano’s only claim to fame. These days, the Romanian-born gymnastic prodigy is a YouTube sensation with the little guy showing off his washboard abs and an array of scary tricks in more than 60 videos. As of this morning, one of those videos– that shows Giuliano doing back flips off a kitchen table — has been watched an astonishing 4.2 million times. Stroe lives with his family in Italy; he coaches his son five days a week, with sessions lasting three hours. Giuliano has a 3-year-old workout partner, his younger brother, Claudio.
Is it OK to start pushing a prodigy that toughly at five? Poor thang.
