8-year-old Russian girl gets into the Russian Book of Records!
What a strong girl! Eight-year-old Lida Kotelnikova from Perm managed to do 1,510 push-ups! And set a record for the largest number of push-ups from the floor on a contact platform in one approach.
The girl is preparing to be a future Olympic champion. She has been practicing sports since she was four: one day, she decided to repeat a sports exercise after her older brother, went to the horizontal bar and… did three pull-ups. Her amazed parents realized that their daughter was strong beyond her years. Lida first became interested in acrobatics, then judo, Greco-Roman wrestling, weightlifting and bodybuilding.
She has a routine like an adult athlete: eight workouts a week, without any indulgences for age, one and a half to two hours each. But, even with such an intensive schedule, she tries to find time to visit the theater or conquer the lanes in the swimming pool.
