Original Toronto Star caption: Leaping in the air, 8-year-old Brian Blattberg doesn't miss a swivel as he twirls two hula hoops at the same time. Brian-who says he can manage five hoops at once and is trying for six-was one of about 300 children taking part in North York hula hoop and frisbee championships yesterday at Earl Bales Park. Winners qualified for national competitions at Canadian National Exhibition.
