A slackline athlete, Ou Guoping, staged a thrilling aerial ballet at the height of 170 metres in northern China.

The impressive video was filmed in the city of Yuncheng in Shanxi Province on May 1.

Ms. Li, a tourist, recalled that the wind was strong at the time, causing the slackline to sway continuously, making the audience hold their breath. However, the young man's mental toughness and balance skills were exceptional, and he successfully reached the finish line after a challenging journey.

Dubbed as "art on the ropes," slackline sports are said to embody the concept of "one rope, one world." Athletes on the slackline course, akin to "rope fairies," immerse themselves in their own miniature world, showcasing their prowess through various high-difficulty manoeuvres such as flips, spins, and dashes, competing to outdo each other in feats of wonder.

五一假期期间，山西运城河津，黄河大梯子崖景区内，00后的空中扁带运动员欧国平在170米的高空上演惊心动魄的“空中芭蕾”。游客李女士介绍，当时的风还是很大的，将扁带吹得一直晃，观众都为他捏了把汗。但小伙子的心理素质过硬，平衡力也超乎一般，最终挑战成功到达终点。
被誉为“绳索上艺术”的扁带运动有“一绳一世界”之说,运动员在绳索赛道之上,如同“绳仙”置身于自己的小世界之中,通过翻飞、旋转、狂奔等各种高难度动作,各显神通,争奇斗胜。
