Representatives of strongmen of the 19th – early 20th centuries
On August 10, 1885, a circle of weightlifting enthusiasts began its work in St. Petersburg. It was organized in his apartment by Dr. Kraevsky. It is believed that this event contributed to the development of athletic sports in Russia. From all sides of the vast tsarist Russia, weight lifting enthusiasts flocked to the city on the Neva. Kraevsky’s circle gave a start in life to many famous strength athletes who have received worldwide recognition.
Peter Krylov
Pyotr Krylov (1871-1933) worked in the Moscow circus. He became famous for performing unique tricks with weights. Being in a “soldier’s stance”, with one hand he could lift three unrelated weights at once, weighing two pounds each. His performance with a weight weighing 32 kg, which he squeezed with his left hand 86 times in a row, is known. No one has been able to repeat this exercise until now. It should be noted that Krylov weighed less than 90 kg with a height of 170 cm. For his masterly performance of circus acts, Pyotr Krylov was called the “King of Weights.”
Ivan Zaikin
Ivan Zaikin (1880-1949) was a legendary Russian strongman of the last century. In 1908, his phenomenal performance captivated the Parisian public. In publications in foreign publications he was called “Chaliapin of Russian muscles.” He was involved in wrestling and weightlifting and was a champion in these sports. On stage, he delighted the audience by placing a rail on his shoulders with volunteers hanging from opposite ends. Usually there were from 10 to 15 people. The metal structure took the shape of a wheel. Such a “wheel” is still kept in the Parisian Cabinet of Curiosities today along with other marvelous exhibits. Zaikin also walked around the arena, hoisting a ship's anchor weighing 25 pounds on his shoulders.
Georg Hackenschmidt
Georg Hackenschmidt (1877-1968), a member of Dr. Kraevsky’s athletic circle, a famous circus artist and titled athlete, who delighted audiences in different countries with his performances, received the loud nickname “Russian Lion”. He was distinguished by flexibility and dexterity of movements, which is not very characteristic of representatives of heavy sports. He could sit cross-legged, holding an 85-pound weight in his hands, and then stand up, straightening up to his full height, without letting go of the weight. Georg's height was 1.76 m and he weighed just over 90 kg. Georg Hackenschmidt was awarded the title of the most powerful man in the world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Ivan Poddubny
Perhaps the most famous and invincible Russian and Soviet wrestler, weightlifter and circus performer is Ivan Poddubny (1871-1949). He gained worldwide fame and great love from the public. Contemporaries respectfully called him “Iron Ivan” and “Russian Bogatyr”. Books have been written and films made about his wrestling and strength feats. In 1926, at the age of 55, Poddubny became the American champion (having already the title of six-time world champion), defeating all the famous wrestlers of that time. 32-year-old Ivan Poddubny had a biceps size of 46 cm, a height of 1m 84 cm, and a weight of 118 kg.
Alexander Zass
One of the most amazing people who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is the unsurpassed strongman and circus performer Alexander Zass (1888-1962), who bore the pseudonym “Iron Samson”. This wonderful trickster amazed the audience with his circus acts. He carried a special platform with a piano and an accompanist on his shoulders around the arena, and with a dancer on the top of the instrument. He also carried a horse on his shoulders. When a cannonball weighing 90 kg flew out of a circus cannon from a distance of eight meters, he caught it with his hands. At the age of 66, Zass ended his 46-year public career and, remaining in the circus, worked as a trainer until his last days.
