Mikhail Shivlyakov, an Omsk strongman and the only athlete in Russia who won the Arnold Schwarzenegger competition, set a world record at the opening of the Day of the Omsk Region.

On the Day of the Region it was decided to demonstrate the incredible strength of the Siberian spirit. Mikhail Shivlyakov had to bend more than 12 metal rods with a diameter of 10 millimeters in a minute.

The rods were brought to the stage with a surplus, and as a result the Russian bogatyr not only bent all of them - 36 pieces, but also managed to do it in 50 seconds instead of the declared minute. No one in the world could do such a thing before. The achievement was officially registered in the Book of Records of Russia.

"I hope there won't be any consequences and I won't go bald because of this prematurely. But seriously, it is important to love any endeavor in which you plunge with your head. And for this love to be sincere, you need to understand the meaning of the word "Motherland", to love your land, your region", - said Shivlyakov.

After the record was set, the audience was able to take pictures with one of the strongest people in the country, as well as take one of the bent rods as a souvenir.

"I'm not a small guy, but I tried to bend such a rod, it didn't work. And here a man bent them on his head as if they were made of molding clay. That's the power!", - admired the visitor of the exposition Evgeny Barankov.

We would like to remind you that every day, except Mondays, the Days of Regions are held at the RUSSIA EXPO, where you can see performances of the best creative teams and famous athletes of the country, take part in masterclasses and win a trip around Russia.
