Kazakhstan’s strongman
Sergei Tsirulnikov has advanced to the next stage of the prestigious U.S. TV
show America’s Got Talent. He captivated both the jury and the audience with
his amazing strength, which included hammering nails into a piece of wood and
frying pans with his palm, breaking chains, and bending horseshoes – one of his
signature feats. Tsirulnikov is a Guinness World Record holder, six-time record
holder of Kazakhstan, and four-time world record holder in strength feats. Over
his career, he has participated in numerous international sports events across
34 countries, consistently promoting Kazakhstan’s strength culture.
«I was invited to the
U.S. about three months ago. I also received invitations from Germany, the UK,
China, and Japan. There were numerous invitations but I chose the U.S.
Currently, it has one of the most popular shows in the world, with over 120
million viewers. My main goal was not only to perform but to present the
strength culture of our country and showcase our strength feats, the history of
our batyrs, and the legacy of Kazakh legendary strongman Kazhymukan Munaitpasov.
The American audience received us very warmly, which shows that foreigners are
very interested in our culture, our strength culture, and the heritage of our batyrs,»
Tsirulnikov shared.
