WATCH: Kids whose cartwheeling video went viral selected to be full-time gymnasts

The internet can be a really terrible place, but occasionally, some good things can come out of it.

Luckily for a pair of kids whose video of them cartwheeling went viral, the internet demonstrated the latter.

Footage of 11-year-old Jashika Khan and 12-year-old Mohammad Azajuddin cartwheeling on the streets of Kolkata made the rounds on the internet, eventually reaching Olympic gold medallist Nadia Comaneci.

The video, posted to Twitter, shows the two leaping into the air- backpacks and all- on their way to school.

According to the Print India, the video was shot by their teacher Shekhar Rao who trains underprivileged children.

After Comaneci tweeted the video, the children caught the attention of India's Sport Minister Kiren Rijiju and have since been selected as full-time trainees at Sports Authority of India.
