Shaolin monk breaks world record for 'running on water'

A Shaolin monk broke his own world record for "running on water" in Quanzhou, Fujian Province on August 29.

Shi Liliang from the Quanzhou Shaolin Temple managed to run 125 metres on almost 200 plywood planks laid across a water reservoir, reported China News Service.

It took three tries before Shi succeeded in breaking his previous world record of 120 metres. The challenging task demands excellent balance and great speed.
