National Spelling Bee rapid elimination round

Well, this is ridiculous. It seems that the Scripps National Spelling Bee has a rapid-fire elimination round these days. You can watch video of 12-year old winner Bruhat Soma spelling words I have never heard of like "aposiopesis", "caixinha" and "sciniph" in ultra-fast mode. 29 such words in 90 seconds, in fact.

It makes you wonder if the poor guy does anything else other than read the dictionary, but you can't help but be immensely impressed.
