A young Australian boy is being praised for his valiant effort, powering through the Australian national anthem despite suffering from hiccups.
Ethan Hall, a 7-year-old from Adelaide, performed Advance Australia Fair before an Australian Baseball League game on Saturday.
But he could barely get a start, hiccupping during the firstverse and continuing throughout the rest of the anthem.
Ethan finished the song and received a round of applause and even high-fives from some of the players.
"Absolutely priceless," said one of the commentators. "The old adage is 'The show must go on' and what a lot of courage from the youngster. I mean, he could have completely fallen apart."
