The streetlifter from Shakhtinsk became the world champion

Dmitry Imenchenkov, an athlete from Shakhtinsk, won the X World Street Lifting Championship. He became the best in the WSF discipline of multi-repetitive pull-ups with a weight of 25 kg.

The competition was held in Moscow, where more than 3,500 participants from 37 countries gathered. For Dmitry, this is the second victory in a row at the World Championship. In addition, the 21-year–old athlete is a two-time Asian champion.

– I've been doing streetlifting for 4 years now. This sport seemed accessible and interesting to me, because for classes you only need a sports ground, which is available in almost every yard. I also think this sport is spectacular. The skill in performing exercises always looks impressive and fascinating. The preparation for the championship was very intense and required considerable efforts. But who, if not us, will develop and promote sports to the masses," says Dmitry Imenchenkov, Master of Sports of international class.

In addition to sports, Dmitry works as a physical education teacher at school and conducts personal fitness training, making sports accessible to many.
