UK boy, 12, is world's strongest




A British schoolboy(學生) has become the world's strongest(最強壯) 12-year-old after lifting a 140kg dumbbell(啞鈴) - that's about the weight of two adults!


Kyle, from Coventry, broke the previous record(記錄) by more than 30kg at a charity event(事件) on Sunday.

He started his hobby two years ago and trains in the gym(健身室) four times a week. Kyle hopes to compete in the Olympics when he's older.


He said: "It feels sensational(使感動的) to have broken a world record, it's not something many 12-year-olds can have done." Kyle started kickboxing when he was four and became a black belt by the age of nine. Kyle's dad used to be a professional bodybuilder.
