According to him, he practiced at any free moment – in training, at home, at work. As a result, he managed to take second place in the weight category up to 85 kg.
– Several factors were missing before the victory. Kettlebells are different everywhere, their material and shape. Besides, it was a hard road. Well, Russians are now superior to everyone in this sport. These are very serious rivals," says Roman Gerasimenko, the Master of Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan in kettlebell lifting. – I hope this is not my last competition. As long as I have the strength and opportunities, I will continue to participate in tournaments.

The lifeguard considers kettlebell lifting an ideal combination of strength, endurance and character.
