A 3-year-old Chinese snooker player in Xuancheng, Anhui province, is capturing attention after a video of him appeared on the Internet. Some call him "Snooker Wonder Child". Others write: "Next O'Sullivan." The young boy is Wang Wuka, who has been learning how to play since the age of 1 and is currently training five hours every day. Although he is still too young to compete in a youth snooker match, he is getting ready for the future.
