Budhia Singh

Budhia Singh is a 6 year old boy from India who has run several marathons.  Kid can hustle.  His supreme athleticism was what caught my eye and then his story got me even more interested in him.
Budhia has participated in races up to 37.3 miles in length and finished them in under 6 1/2 hours. 
He was recently in the news because his coach was shot dead a few days ago.  There have been accusations that the coach tortured and forced Budhia to run.
Regardless, this kid is an athletic phenomenon who has come from absolute poverty.  I hope he turns out OK because there is already so much controversy and exploitation surrounding him and his feats.
