After about 15 minutes of warm-up, Wan Wanming asked his teammates for help moving out one long table and a square one. Then they smoothly stitched the tables six to seven meters away from the shore and laid the yoga mat on it. Wiping the water off his feet with a dry towel, he began his wonderful performance.

Wang Wanming presented various difficult poses in an easy way, such as bird poses, turtle poses and Zen lotus crane poses. With even breath throughout the whole period, he looks very calm. His teammate—62-year-old Chen Qixiong said, “It is a piece of cake for him to complete the actions like splits, headstand and back bend. But it is an impossible challenge for us. Now he is the pride of our association.”
