Guinness World Record of Cherepanov Vladislav

This year, in the Artek ICC an international festival is held.

The most active part in the organization and holding of the third international festival opening and the establishment of a new Guinness World Record took members of Kirov Department of the Russian Section of International Police Association Vladimir Reshetnikov, Anna Nagimova and Ekaterina Serkina.

This event was attended by Russian celebrities and 3,500 children of the Artek, International Children’s Center.

On August 9, a new world record for the Guinness book was set up at the main stage of the International Children’s Center Artek “Arena”.

An 8-year-old boy from the Soviet boarding school for children with disabilities in the Kirov region Vladislav Cherepanov (he uses a wheelchair, being disabled since childhood) surprised the whole world with his fantastic sports result.

Vladislav lifted 10kg barbell that was half of his own weight (19.950 kg) 701 times! It took Vladislav 25 minutes of continuous bench press to raise total weight of 7010 kg in one approach and it is a world achievement. All these super results were recorded and confirmed by a qualified judges, coordinated with the Guinness Book of Records in the person of Olympic champion Alexander Ivanitsky and 11-time holder of Guinness World Records Alexander Muromsky. There is a new Guinness world record of the young Vyatka hero Cherepanov Vladislav.

On August 10, Vladislav has another work day in Artek , he participates in the opening of the third international festival of national and non-Olympic sports in which thousands of boys and girls from different parts of our planet will take part. Vladislav will represent Russia in the “bench press” category.

The coach Vladimir Reshetnikov names his pupil a true Russian hero with character and cast-iron will: “Two years ago, Vladislav started with light weights and lifted barbell only 50 times. He became successful, he felt in love with this sport, and we began to move forward! Our aim is not only Vladislav to become a champion, we want to prove boys and girls all over the world that they should never give up. Whatever affliction you have, survive it! No matter how difficult it is, don’t give up, and everything will turn out!”

One of the strongest people on the planet, Alexander Muromsky, is amazed with the result of a young strong man. “A fantastic combination of youth and endurance!” — he noted. — As an 11-time record holder of the Guinness Book of Records, I can say that all the conditions to set up a new record have been met, and we are waiting for a positive decision. It is symbolic that the record was set in Artek, in the Crimea, and we hope that it will be pointed in the certificate.

The necessary package of documents will be sent to the jury of the Guinness Book of Records. The decision will be made within three months.
