Gender-bending, pole dancing Chinese sexagenarian goes viral

Zhang Xida, 66, loves to pole dance in a revealing sports bra and hot pants... after being inspired by his crush at the gym


* Chinese man, 66, took up pole dancing two years ago at his local gym
* The grandfather from Chengdu, south-west China, enjoys the sport
* He wears a revealing sports bra and hot pants as a 'bit of fun'
* Mr Xida can now perform difficult poses including hanging upside down





He first participated in the fitness trend as a joke, but now Mr Xida is able to perform difficult poses on the pole, including holding himself upside down with one leg and doing the splits.

Feeling fitter and healthier, the grandfather said the sport has added 'colour' and the decision to wear a revealing bra and hot pants is for a 'bit of fun'.



Wow, a lot of people in their 40s or 50s would die for this body, not to mention the flexibility and limberness.

You go, Xida. Never let the scoffers deter you!
