Babies crawl to the finish line in Lithuania

In Lithuania, the rat race of life apparently starts early for babies.

Twenty five infants have taken to the red carpet in Lithuania in a crawling race as their parents, grandparents and onlookers cheered the spectacle.

Saturday’s event in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, was the 20th annual event staged by a local radio station to mark International Children’s Day, celebrated in this Baltic nation on June 1.

Teams waved toys and even banged food cans to spur the baby girls and boys to move faster on the carpet.

An 11-month-old baby boy named Ignas managed to crawl over a few meters and reach the finish line first. RGA/JB
