Sometimes kids have an aptitude for sport that means they can do ridiculous things at young ages.<\/p>\n
Everyone has seen footage of Tiger Woods swinging a golf club when he was no older than a toddler and we all know how successful he ended up being.<\/p>\n
However, a young boy called Jamie has showcased his abilities in a different ball sport – table tennis.<\/p>\n
Pictures have emerged which show the kid – who still can't stand up properly – smacking balls over the net.<\/p>\n
His dad continued to hit them in his direction, but the child does not get flustered and carries on returning them with perfect poise.<\/p>\n
The UK hasn't traditionally been a powerhouse when it comes to table tennis, but in a few years time young Jamie could change all of this.<\/p>\n
Since it became an Olympic sport, 58 of the 76 medals given out in the sport have been won by China and South Korea. <\/p>\n
