According to Chinese media China Daily, the competition was held over the weekend of Apr. 21 and featured two sub-competitions for children and the public.

Competitors from countries such as Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Germany, South Korea, and Japan arrived in Ningbo, Zhejiang for the competition.

The competition is one of the largest parkour competitions in China and has reportedly attracted nearly 80,000 spectators this year.

Koh was beaten by Li Jin Tao, who achieved a time of 27.67 seconds.

Koh also won second in another contest called the "Kong Position", held on the same day.

Hard road to get here

Previously, Koh shared with Mothership that he had competed in China's version of "Ninja Warrior" in 2015.

He currently has 16 years of parkour experience under his belt.

However, his journey was not without setbacks, as he once fell two storeys when he failed a jump.
