Fortunately, the doctors quickly managed to reach the victim and saved him. Now Kharlamov is still in serious condition, but the doctors managed to get him off the ventilator.
“Thanks to the quick and well-coordinated actions of the ambulance doctors and surgeons, Boris remained alive and has already been removed from artificial lung ventilation. For now, the worst is behind us,” Medvedev said.
“300 times your weight!”
In the professional world, 25-year-old Boris Kharlamov is known as an ambitious person. He is a master of extreme power sports and the champion of Russia, national and world record holder in the weight categories up to 95 kg and up to 105 kg.
In 2019, in the center of Perm, a strong man single-handedly dragged two multi-ton trucks. So he was only 21 years old! Towing two cars, Boris pulled the road train, holding on to special handrails. The trucks started and drove off, and Kharlamov’s achievement was entered in the Russian Book of Records.
Another Russian strongman immediately moved the train:

“The weight of an athlete does not exceed 100 kg, so the total mass of the road train is more than 300 times its own weight,” the organizers said.
Already in 2021 he set a new world record by lifting a 100 kilogram dumbbell with one hand. Kharlamov lifted the dumbbell four times in 60 seconds, while his own weight did not reach 95 kg.
“The audience is shocked”
It’s all about genes, as Boris Kharlamov himself said.
The father of the strong man in 2010 became the owner of the title “The Strongest Man in Russia”, and in 2016 – the winner of the World Championship in extreme power.
It is curious that Kharlamov is too “light” for extreme power, despite the weight of 100 kg. Many of his rivals weigh 120 kg or more! Therefore, each victory over them is awarded to the athlete with incredible effort.

“You have to find an advantage through technique, speed, and strategy miscalculation in competitions to be able to fight them! But this is what makes my performances so brilliant for the audience, because they are amazed how a normal looking guy can perform on equal terms and even defeat such big guys. – Boris Kharlamov told 59.ru.
We wish the Russian strongman a speedy recovery!
