The Pigs Do What Now?
From the Washington Post:
A pair of piglets compete in the “Pig Olympics” at Heping Park in Shanghai, China. The Olympic events include running, hurdles, hoop-jumping, diving and swimming. The piglets start training a month after birth and compete until they are one year old.
From China Economic Net:
Pigs can’t fly, but they can run, swim and dive, as proven by contestants in the Pig Olympics.
Thousands of locals have made their way to Hongkou District’s Heping Park to watch some 20 pig athletes from Thailand take part in sporting events over the past month.
“It’s incredible. I never thought that a pig could be so clever, dexterous and versatile,” [8-year-old audience member Tan yizhou] said.
Hey—that kid sounds pretty smart. He sounds like that brainy kid from The Simpsons.
