A video of an extremely flexible girl performing gymnastic stunts has recently gone viral on social media.
Spellbound: The video, which was posted on Twitter with the caption “Spellbound,” was shared by Indian Police Service officer Ankita Sharma on Nov. 27. It has received over 310,000 views and more than 22,000 likes as of this writing.
- In the now-viral video, a little girl dressed in a red shirt and dark blue pants shows off her flexibility while her classmates closely watch her in what appears to be a training center for gymnastics.
- She captures her audience’s attention with her execution of leg kicks and somersaults.
- Some Twitter users, however, expressed concern over the child’s condition due to training rigorously at a young age.
- “I am sure not many of us praising that kid would want our own children to go through this,” one user wrote. “This is extremely disturbing.” They also shared a link to a documentary about young Chinese students who go through intensive training for 3 to 4 hours a day in the hopes of becoming future gymnastics champions.
- Others applauded her talent, such as Indian lawyer and politician Charu Pragya, who wrote, “What a talented child!”
- Sharma also replied to her tweet, calling the girl “magical.”
