In pictures: A three-year-old snooker player from China
The resident of Xuancheng, Anhui province, supposedly undergoes five hours of training every single day. What did you do when you were three years old? Reuters
Wuka trains under the careful watch of Wang Yin, his father, a snooker fan who got his son a table when he realised he had the talent. Reuters
Wuka trains on a custom-built table from where he can play. Reuters
Much attention has already been given to Wuka. This camera follows him while he gets his hair cut as if he is a celebrity. Reuters
Wuka, who is not allowed to play with any other toy, nevertheless manages to live a normal boy’s life. Reuters
Yin has also discovered his son is ambidextrous and therefore can pocket balls with either hand. Reuters
As he works on his vision of the table, Wuka often looks like a gymnast or a yoga artist. Reuters
He is evidently already having an influence on other children his age. Reuters
It’s all about the focus for Wuka who is already competing in tournaments. Reuters
Wuka has attracted so much attention, he got a chance to play with Stephen Hendry, himself the youngest snooker world champion at 21 in 1990. Reuters
Looks like Wuka is playing against Hendry well past his bedtime. A thorough professional. Reuters
And without a doubt he will grow up to be a showman. Reuters
Hendry, 41 years his senior, has a bit of fun playing against Wuka, and while he is at it, passes along a few handy tips. An experience of a lifetime, surely. Reuters
