Boy in Thailand cries to mum & refuses to race, wins gold chasing her down

Boy cries to mum over not wanting to race, but wins it anyway

On 27 June, a Thai Facebook page shared a heartwarming and humorous moment from a children’s race.

The race was between two young boys in Thung Song, a town in southern Thailand.

One of the children, a five-year-old boy, appeared to be in tears as he clung to his mother at the starting line.

With only a few seconds left before the race began, the mum had to come up with an idea to get her son running, fast.

Mum was considerate for her son too, as she looked back every few seconds to check if her son was alright.

The boy sprinted ahead of his competitor even with tears running down his face.

But his sadness soon turned to joy as he crossed the finish line and won first place.

Photos from the event showed that the young boy was all smiles after the race when receiving his medal.
