Ready, set, float! 🛰️🏃♂️
The three Shenzhou-18 taikonauts aboard the orbiting China Space Station (CSS)—Ye Guangfu, Li Cong, and Li Guangsu—took their fitness game to new heights (literally!) on Thursday as they celebrated the upcoming Paris Summer Olympics and China\u0027s 16th National Fitness Day.
In a video shared by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA), the space crew kicked off their own interstellar Olympics with a mock torch relay. Commander Ye Guangfu, sporting his extravehicular suit, ignited the fun by handing over an improvised torch to crew member Li Cong.
Li Cong didn\u0027t just pass the torch—he floated over a \"space hurdle\" with style! 🌌✨ He then passed it to Li Guangsu, who wowed us all with a zero-gravity upright long jump that defied all earthly limits. Talk about taking a leap of faith! 🚀
To wrap up the cosmic relay, Commander Ye performed a graceful back jump, sealing the deal on this unforgettable space festivity.
This stellar celebration isn\u0027t just about fun and games. It\u0027s a nod to the universal spirit of sportsmanship and a reminder that staying active is out of this world—literally! So next time you\u0027re skipping leg day, remember these taikonauts are doing long jumps in space. No excuses! 😉
Keep reaching for the stars, amigos! 🌟
