Ivan piddubny (1870-1949) Professional wrestler, multiple world champion

Ivan Piddubny was born into a peasant family in the village of Krasenivka (nowadays Cherkasy oblast), where his childhood and youth had passed. In Piddubny's family, that of Cossack descendants, everyone was marked by powerful strength. His father, Maksym I.Piddubny, was also a strong man, and Ivan considered him to be stronger than he himself. Nobody in the village could contend with the Piddubny's strength.

The future champion began his labour activity as a docker in Sevastopol port. In 1.895, he moved to Feodosia where he took a great interest in weight lifting. Afterwards I.Piddubny started performing on circus rings of Sevastopol, Odesa, Kyiv and soon gained his first victory in circus championship. In Kyiv club of athletes he was familiarised with French wrestling which later brought him worldwide fame, participated in circus tours all over the country.

The Ukrainian Hercules went for triumphal tours over European countries. In world championships of 1905-09 that took place in Paris, Milan, Vienna, Frankfurt, each time Ivan Piddubny won an honorary title of the world champion in Graeco-Roman wrestling among professionals, beating the strongest wrestlers of Europe and the world. The outstanding sportsman was a heavyweight wrestler; he weighed 120 kg, possessed perfect wrestling technique, endurance and mastery of choosing correct tactics of fighting. He was called "the champion of champions."

The secret of the prominent sportsman's invincibility consists in the combination of his exceptional physique with constant enduring training, keeping a balanced diet, healthy way of life and self-development. Due to this I.Piddubny had remained an invincible wrestler for 25 years running in the world and till the age of 55 he successfully participated in international competitions.

For many years the sixfold world champion was not only a symbol of invincibility, strength, brilliant skills, but also a true example of knighthood, decency and sports honour. More than once sports swindlers addressed the Ukrainian giant offering big money for the" planned defeat, and he always rejected them.

In 1925, I.Piddubny undertook a victorious tour over large cities of the United States of America. Although the Americans had not recognised French wrestling yet and the wrestler was forced to master freestyle wrestling, he was invincible again.

The last appearance of the Ukrainian Hercules took place in 1941 when he was 70 years old. Ivan Piddubny lived a beautiful, fair sporting life, which serves as an example to young sportsmen until the present. He was awarded the title of Honoured Artist of the Russian Federation (1939) and Honoured Master of Sports (1945).
