(SOUNDBITE) (English) FATHER OF 10-MONTH-OLD ROKAS, TOMAS RUKSTELE, SAYING:
"We didn't prepare very much, it was twice a day we tried to reach this finish line and perhaps while we was training, we were training for a smaller distance."
In the end it was 9-month-old Olivija
who was crowned the winner
with a time of 13 seconds
