  • Ivan Poddubny - "The Russian Hercules"

    • Ivan Poddubny was one of the greatest of the Russian Strongman wrestlers. He was born in a small village and worked hard jobs even from a young age.

    After some training, he joined the russian circus, performing feats of strength and wrestling all comers.

    After 40 years, he retired undefeated on both counts.

    He is still a well-known sports hero in Russia with several big wrestling tournaments bearing his name.    		Ivan Poddubny The Russian HerculesIvan Poddubny - "The Russian Hercules"
