A seven-year-old snooker prodigy has found a remarkable way to compete by wearing shoes with an eight-inch foam platform.

In a viral video from Thailand, a young player is seen in action as a crowd watches.

Yet on closer inspection, the wonderkid was wearing oversized shoes as he lined up a shot.

Boy, dressed sharply in a white shirt and grey waistcoat, then walked around the table as the size of his footwear became clearer.

It is understood that the shoes, which were made by his parents because of his small height, have added 20cm to his stature, almost resembling built-in stilts.

This has allowed the seven-year-old, who is reportedly Wu Yiren from China, to comfortably compete on regulation-size snooker tables.
