The Bottle Cap Challenge, which requires participants to use different techniques to knock a cap off a bottle, may have a new champ in China who throws chopsticks to send the bottle cap flying. 

Wen Bolin, from Jiang'an county, Southwest China's Sichuan Province, took up the challenge after watching videos of foreigners and Chinese stars kicking a cap off a bottle. 

In a video on Sina Weibo, Wen stands several meters from a woman holding two bottles of water at arms length. Wen throws a chopstick at each bottle. The perfect strikes send the caps flying as water gushes from the bottle.

"I only upload the successful throws," Wen told Pear Video in an interview. While Wen obviously has excellent chopstick-throwing skills, the video also shows the caps are simply sitting on top of the bottle, which are struck by the speeding chopstick.   

Many netizens gasped with admiration at Wen's skills, but there were also others who thought it was not the original Bottle Cap Challenge anymore.

Initiated by UFC fighter Max Holloway, the Bottle Cap Challenge originally required participants to untwist a bottle cap using only a back kick. Many of the posted videos of successful kicks also show the bottle caps are merely resting on the bottle. 

Hong Kong martial arts superstar Donnie Yen Zidan, 55, kicked the cap off a bottle while blindfolded.
