Young Athletes Shatter Records at Spartan Warrior Children’s Race
BEIJING & SHANGHAI – A wave of athletic achievement swept through China as thousands of young competitors tackled challenges at the annual Spartan Warrior Children’s Race. The international competition, designed to combine fun and physical challenge, saw a remarkable display of strength, speed, and endurance, culminating in four new guinness World Records set by steadfast young athletes.
The Spartan Warrior Children’s Race isn’t just about competition; it’s a pathway for China’s rising athletic talent. The event provides a platform for young warriors to hone their skills, with the potential to represent their country on the world stage. This year’s event also featured a special challenge station open to spectators under 16, offering a chance for anyone to test their limits against official Guinness World record attempts.
Four record categories were open for challenge: most burpees in 30 seconds, most star jumps in 30 seconds, fastest time to complete 50 metres with 5kg of weight, and fastest time to put on 5 T-shirts. The results were nothing short of inspiring.
Here are the record breakers:
* Most Star Jumps in 30 Seconds: 10-year-old Xie runjing initially set the record in Beijing with 58 jumps, but 11-year-old Wang Yiying surpassed her, achieving 62 jumps in Shanghai.
