A young boy from China has shot to fame after pictures of his eight-pack abs became viral on the internet.
Chen Yi, who is seven and a half years old, is a talented gymnast and is said to have received gymnastic training for two years in eastern China's Zhejiang Province.
People are shocked by his toned body and call him the 'ultimate muscle boy'.
The pictures of Chen Yi were taken on July 2 during a gymnastic game in Hangzhou, the regional capital of Zhejiang.
After competing in the game, the boy was changing to his daily clothing. Onlookers and journalists spotted his muscular body and swarmed to take pictures of him, according to People's Daily Online.
The pictures were then posted onto the social media and became widely shared.
Web users were impressed by his abs, calling them the 'perfect' eight-pack abs.
Despite his young age, the seven-year-old boy is a top-notch athlete.
He won medals in all of the events during the game, including six gold medals and one silver medal.
The game was a part of the 19th Hangzhou City Sports Games and was participated by around 50 young athletes.
The athletic child told a local journalist that he liked practising gymnastics because it made him look cool.
Chen Yi's mother, Zhang Hongyu, said her son had been strong since birth.
He was born weighing nearly nine pounds and started walking when he was just 11 months old.
When Chen Yi was two years old, he could hold his milk bottle with one hand and pull his own body up on a horizontal bar with the other hand, his mother recalled.
Ms. Zhang also said the boy likes dumplings and could eat more than a dozen of them in one go.
Chen Yi was recruited by the local gymnastic school at the age of five. He studies and lives at his school from Monday to Friday, and goes home during the weekends.
Ms. Zhang said this was the first time Chen Yi had attended any formal games and she was extremely pleased with his performance.
