A Winnipeg youngster, who only recently picked up the art of juggling, has won first place in the beginner's category at a world championship.
Hannah Baran, 12, learned to juggle like children learn to do most things in today's technology-driven world — online.

Earlier this week she was crowned the World Juggling Federation's international champion in the beginner's division.
The accomplished novice met jugglers from around the world in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for the competition that has been called the Olympics of juggling.
