The strongest grandmother in the world lives in the Dagestan village of Sultan-Yangyurt.
The record holder of the Guinness book, 76-year-old Sakinat Khanapieva lives in an unusual house where you can find pieces of iron bent by her hands, a board with nails on which she likes to stand, and thousand-page reference books torn by her.
This 50-mm iron corner two meters long Sakinat Khanapieva twisted "in a pigtail". I can’t believe that a woman in the eighth decade can do this.
Sakinat Khanapieva jokingly can lift a two-pound weight.
Grandma Sakinat never drank medicine, she does not know what injections are. To the envious question, what should be eaten so that there is such health (and such strength, of course), she answers that she "eats what is", fruits, and, of course, the most popular dish in Dagestan - Avar khinkal: pieces boiled dough with garlic seasoning, meat and meat broth.
Sakinat Khanapieva is known not only for her remarkable strength. Grandmother Sakinat likes to read Pushkin and Rasul Gamzatov, she writes poetry herself. She has an excellent memory and a tenacious mind, and yet, unlike most older people, she imagines what the Internet is.
Actually, saying that all this happens at home with Grandma Sakinat is not quite right - all her life she has only been dreaming of her own roof over her head, but for now lives with her daughter-in-law. The international recognition of her fantastic abilities does not yet impress local officials and businessmen who readily endow successful athletes with apartments and cars, but prefer to ignore Sakinat's grandmother.
.
The strongest grandmother in the world lives in Dagestan. A woman of a very advanced age easily handles weights, bends the armature with her bare hands and does not know any diseases.
At 76, Sakinat Khanapieva does not know what a headache and drugs are. I never complained about my health and did not lie in the hospital. And tricks with sports equipment for her are just a hobby.
She stands on nails with a load of more than 50 kilograms, easily lifts weights, and twists metal objects. Such a hobby is not for every man. Unaware of this, Sakinat Omarovna ended up in the Book of Records as the strongest grandmother in the world.
The inscription at the entrance to the city is the work of Sakinat Khanapieva. In just a few hours, a woman unscrewed the name of her native city Kizilyurt from metal squares.
For the first time, the record holder noticed her unusual abilities in her youth. Together with her mother, she cleaned the pantry, she recalls. There were no men in the house, and a box of grain, which weighed 200 kilograms, had to be moved. She tried and she did it. But then she did not attach much importance to this.
Sakinat Khanapieva: “I didn’t think that I had this power. I thought if I wanted to, then everyone could do it.”
She never considered herself a unique person. Neither at home, nor at work, never asked for help. She coped with everything herself. In addition to sports records, she has one more that she is really proud of. Sakinat Khanapieva raised 8 children.
One of them is the famous strongman Omar Khanapiev. On his account now 35 world records. Looking at how her son easily handles weights and heavy objects, she remembered her youth. Then she decided to try to compete with her son.
Relatives are only happy with such achievements of the grandmother-strongman. And her passion for heavy sports is treated with understanding. Relatives know that although grandmother does not strive for records, she still keeps herself in shape.
Murad Huseynov: "She sweeps, weights stand, she moves them, as if there was nothing."
The Dagestan strongwoman has another hobby. She loves to write poetry. But a strong woman was shy to read them. Accustomed to living modestly and inconspicuously, Sakinat Khanapieva still cannot get used to the fact that her name is now known not only in her native city.

She set a national record - she pulled out a hitch of jeeps weighing 14 tons.
She won the Siberian Marathon, in which both men and women participated. It was very hot. Some elite athletes fought with nature to the end, but in the end it ended up for them to communicate with doctors. Mikhail Kulkov, who at the current marathon acted as a pacemaker - a runner who sets the pace for elite athletes up to a certain kilometer - after leaving the race, the African assured that the marathon must be stopped, the organizers needed to be called, no one would reach the finish line. But then a Belarusian athlete Olga Mazurenok ran past him ...

SULTAN-YANGIYURT (Dagestan), Mar 7 - RIA Novosti. The strongest grandmother in the world will celebrate March 8 in the Dagestan village of Sultan-Yangyurt. Guinness book record holder, 76-year-old Sakinat Khanapieva will meet this day in an unusual house where you can find pieces of iron bent by her hands, a board with nails on which she likes to stand, and thousand-page reference books torn by her.
Actually, to say that all this at her place is not quite right - all her life she only dreams of her own roof over her head, but for now she lives with her daughter-in-law. The international recognition of her fantastic abilities does not yet impress local officials and businessmen who readily endow successful athletes with apartments and cars, but prefer to ignore Sakinat's grandmother.
Nevertheless, Sakinat Omarovna is full of optimism and cordially greets guests, treating them to delicious Avar khinkal with garlic. With careful communication with her, it turns out that she is unusual not only for her remarkable strength. Grandmother Sakinat likes to read Pushkin and Rasul Gamzatov, she writes poetry herself. She has an excellent memory and a tenacious mind, and yet, unlike most older people, she imagines what the Internet is.
"... And now my right arm is broken"
Superstrong women have been in Dagestan before. There is a tale, as at the beginning of the 20th century someone came to measure their strength with the famous strongman Ali-Klych, who managed to overcome Ivan Poddubny and twisted his hands with a rail, which is still stored in his native Buglen. Tusk was not at home, and his sister offered to wait.
The guest was impatient to show strength, and, sitting on the bench, with one hand tore the floorboard from the floor, thrust Klich’s father in there and with one movement kicked the floorboard back: they say, let him come for his father. The girl easily pulled out the floorboard, put her hat back in place and hammered the board back: it’s not worth it, she says, to spoil things. They say that the guest preferred not to wait for his brother. And they say that the sister was stronger than Klych, she simply preferred not to advertise it.
Someday legends will also be made about our contemporary Sakinat Khanapieva. "Did you bend it?" - Grandmother Sakinat held in her hand a 50-millimeter iron corner two meters long, twisted "in a pigtail", and somehow did not believe that a woman in the eighth decade could do this. "In my house, who else will do it?" - the grandmother laughs, twirling a piece of iron in a hand. "She is ... strong! How did you bend her?" - "How strong? Is it strong or what?" - Grandmother throws her “spear” with one hand and catches again: “Like a shepherd’s stick!”
Then the grandmother crawls under the bed and takes out a board from there with nails sticking out of it. He puts on the floor and looks at the guests: well, what? No hint to gather strength, to concentrate - seeing that everyone is ready, Grandma Sakinat briskly gets on the nails, takes a 24-pound weight and let's lift it to the waist. As if there are no nails under the feet, two hundred, which also stick out one more, the other less, and in theory should dig into the legs.
"Does your leg hurt?" - "Not." Tension in the voice of the grandmother is not felt. Later, the author of these lines (without a weight) tried to stand on the same nails. Let's just say the attempt failed.
"And how high can you lift this weight?" - I wanted, of course, to capture the grandmother with a weight raised above her head. She got off the nails, started to lift the weight, lowered it. “I can put 32 kilograms here (points to the shoulder), and now my right arm is broken,” grandmother Sakinat laughs, still holding the kettlebell in her right hand. And he continues: “I can do this,” he lifts the weight with that right hand, picks it up with his left and holds it in front of him.
What Sakinat's grandmother said didn’t come right away. "Do you have a broken arm ?!"
“Once I fell, in Khunzakh, there was a rock there,” Sakinat Omarovna, who lowered the weight, but then lifted it again. The correspondent of RIA Novosti, confused because of the unreality of what is happening, still guessed to ask her not to show any more tricks. Of course, it’s a pity that Sakinat’s grandmother couldn’t see her squeezing a weight and twisting an iron corner, but she managed to figure out in time that her health was more important.
True, Sakinat Omarovna still dared to take up another feat: as a joke, she tore up a thick thousand-page directory. Then she took up the second directory, he did not immediately give in to something - and here for the first time such a determination appeared on Granny Sakinat's kind face that her strength was felt even at a distance. It was the face of a man who does not doubt that he can easily turn mountains now. I wonder if she tried to turn mountains?
After a second, the defeated guide was thrown at his feet. Not strongly believing in success, the author of these lines also tried a thick guide to strength. Needless to say, the book is not even crumpled.
The house where they read Pushkin
It was unusual - to go somewhere long to the outskirts of the Dagestan village, to gloomy new buildings, where there is no asphalt and dirt everywhere, go into the house under construction, and in the small room where Grandma Sakinat lives, see the Pushkin Almanac on the table. And hear from her lips Krylov's fable.
Grandma Sakinat loves poetry. And not only read, but also write. "I was a poet for a long time, I did not reveal it (to people). It always has been in my heart." At home lies a bunch of notebooks scribbled in verses in Avar. "Where there is a free, white place - I do not leave, I write there," says Sakinat Omarovna. And in fact, her poems are even in the flyleaf of the same "Pushkin Almanac." She read poems about her fellow countryman, the famous Rasul Gamzatov, directly from the gift edition, and poems about Imam Shamil, respectively, from a book about Imam Shamil.
Grandmother Sakinat is also indifferent to poetry. "Look at the dinners we have! She (points to a neighbor) went here and took Gamzat Tsadasa’s books with her," shows two thick books of this Avar poet, father Rasul Gamzatov. So - poetic evenings in the Dagestan village!
Grandma Sakinat takes from the table the old battered Quran, published in the early years of the 20th century. He has been inherited in the family for three generations and inherited from his mother. Shows the name of his mother - Patimat, written by his mother’s hand on the first page in Latin letters (then in Dagestan languages \u200b\u200bwas Latin). Touchingly kisses this page: "This is her hand ..."
The walls of her room are hung with Islamic symbols. Sakinat Omarovna shows photographs of the most popular sheikh in Dagestan - Said-Effendi from Chirkey, demonstrates the Koran presented to him.
She organically combines her religion and love of poetry with a passion for agriculture: hens run in the courtyard, and fruit trees planted by her grow in front of the house - Sakinat Omarovna dreams of a blossoming garden under the windows of the house. She loves fruits, she says, than drinking medicine (“chemicals,” as she calls them), it’s better to eat an apple or pear.
He never said she’d ever taken any medicine. Doesn't know what injections are. To the envious question, what needs to be eaten so that there is such health (and such strength, of course), she answers that she "eats what is." Again, fruit, and, of course, the most popular dish in Dagestan - Avar khinkal: pieces of cooked dough with garlic seasoning, meat and meat broth.
Mom's assistant
The girl Sakinat from the mountain village of Khunzakh was about 10-11 years old, when her mother once again did the cleaning and wondered how to move aside the large box of grain interfering with her. The box weighed 200-300 kilograms and was completely unbearable, but the little Sakinat thought: and if you push him with his shoulder, will he not move? The girl tried - a heavy box obediently crawled to the indicated place.
Sakinat Omarovna tells this story when she is asked how it all began.
But the most vivid childhood memories are, of course, war. She remembers well how her brother and uncle were taken to the front, how people spent the night in snowdrifts near the walls of the military enlistment office in order to accompany their children. Even now, she cannot hold back her tears when she tells how, just three months later, her brother, 20-year-old Haji, died near Leningrad, volunteered to go into reconnaissance, and then, about 20 meters later, came across a mine. And as again, in intelligence, near Nalchik, uncle Hajidad was ambushed - he was also a strong man.
Her life was difficult, despite the unusual gift. On the contrary, she dragged all kinds of spare parts from the tractor more than others when she worked in a hardware store, more than others grazed sheep when she lived on a kutan. It is unlikely, of course, to milk the cows more when she worked as a milkmaid, but there probably also had to lift something heavy or wear. And she hardly had any privileges when she nursed her nine children and alone provided for her family after her husband fell ill.
As for fame, people, she said, did not immediately notice its strength. Yes, and somehow she did not immediately understand that only she and no one else had an unusual gift. "At first, they didn’t open it. And then, as a joke, she did something, and then people found out. They are interested in where it came from. They’re not ashamed to do this, they’re talking. I’m not ashamed, I’m saying. Am I talking something? I’m doing my strength, I’m not embarrassed by anyone, "says Sakinat’s grandmother.
Homeless legend
So far, Granny Sakinat has not taken any benefits from her abilities. However, when asked if her authorities noticed her and helped her, she says that she doesn’t need any wealth - he only dreams of his house, which is still not there. But she is still offended by the authorities. He says, as soon as the athletes win something, officials and just rich people immediately give them the keys to the apartment and the keys to the car. But they don’t see Sakinat Omarovna at their sides - maybe, of course, they are not able to understand that this is a legend, but they probably know that this is the Guinness Book record holder.
Sakinat Omarovna rented an apartment in Kizilyurt for thirty years, and in recent years she lives in neighboring Sultan-Yangyurt in the house of her son-in-law. In fact, in Dagestan it is considered very inconvenient to live with your daughter - that is, in the son-in-law's house. Another thing is with the son.
But her son is also a difficult person, a well-known strongman and possessor, according to the Guinness Book of Records, "the strongest jaw in the world" Omar Khanapiev. He drags with his teeth trains, planes and steamboats, also bends glands and twists thick nails into hearts. He is very much in demand, all the time on the road, on tours and all kinds of holidays, he is almost never at home - and now he was not at home. If you can just say so - "was not at home," because he does not have his own home.
Contrary to popular belief about him, Omar does not receive a lot of money for his performances. He takes what they give for performances, and if they don’t give anything, he doesn’t take anything. Relatives told a funny but insulting case when, after one such speech at the opening of a large shopping center, Omar, who was the highlight of the program, was presented with only a T-shirt with the company logo.
He has his own view on this subject, his own philosophy. “Omar says: let’s not make money, but we will work on a legend. Such people always lived in poverty. And then they talk about them, they write books,” says Sakinat’s grandmother, recalling the famous strongmen of the past.
"At least one day, but I want to live in my house. What it was - mine." To say that life “on the bird’s rights”, as she called it, really touches Grandma Sakinat - that means to say nothing. Such is the mentality of the people here.
Gift from Grandma Sakinat
She is so easy to communicate that next to her it seems that all these tricks with kettlebells and iron corners are in the order of things, it seems like it should be. And as if she was an ordinary Avar grandmother, whom there were a lot to see and who seem to be no different from her. And only then comes the feeling: after all, this is a legend-man who will remain in the people's memory for a long time, which they will talk about even after a hundred years! To visit such a person is a great honor!
And everything that Sakinat Omarovna said began to be filled with special meaning. "Do the first thing your heart tells you." I’ll try, Grandma Sakinat. “If a person wants to do something, he will do it. I can’t, it’s impossible, it’s sick of me ... It’s impossible. At any time, a person can do what he wants to do,” her unique Avar accent seemed to reinforce what was said, did phrases chopped, striking at the very point.
And what was it like to receive a gift from her hands! "On, take home. This is not a piece of iron, this is gold! Allah gives me, I give you. There will be a barakat (grace) at home," Grandma Sakinat held out an iron corner twisted by her. How to take him home? But how not to take such a gift? And now this miracle stands at home, and for some reason it is believed that everything will be fine here now.
The strongest grandmother in the world is Sakinat Khanapieva, a 76-year-old native of the village of Sultan-Yangyurt (Dagestan). In appearance, this ordinary grandmother is able to twist a 50 mm iron corner with her bare hands in a pigtail or tear a thousand pages thick reference book.
One of Sakinat Khanapieva’s favorite tricks is to juggle a 24 kilogram weight standing on a board with nails protruding from it. An ordinary person just getting on the board will be very problematic.
When the world's strongest grandmother (by the way the Guinness Book record holder) is asked how her hobby began, she gladly recalls a long history - “ I was about ten years old when I helped my mother cleaning a house to push back a 300 kilogram box of grain».
In addition to demonstrating her strength, Sakinat Khanapieva surprises visiting journalists, who often delight her grandmother with her visits, verses of her own composition. She is seriously passionate about poetry - “ I’ve been a poet for a long time, it’s always been in my heart, but I didn’t show it to people. ” - says Sakinat Omarovna. On the table in the room of Dagestan’s grandmother, you can see the “Pushkin Almanac”, editions of the Avar poet Gamzat Tsadasa and a bunch of notebooks written in verses in Avar.
On the walls in the room of Grandma Sakinat - Islamic symbolism, she takes her religion very seriously. The heirloom of the Khanapiev family is the one published at the beginning of the twentieth century, passing from generation to generation for three generations.
The love of literature and sincere religiosity is the strongest grandmother in the world organically combines with an equally genuine love for agriculture: hens run in her small courtyard, and beautiful fruit trees bloom under the windows of the house. Smiling, the grandmother says - " Eating vegetables and fruits is better than drinking all kinds of medicines there, which, by the way, I never drank at all.»
The son of the strongest grandmother of the world, also a well-known strongman in the world - Omar Khanapiev, holder of the title “the strongest jaw”. With his strong teeth, he easily drags multi-ton equipment - steamboats, planes and trains, and, just like his mother, twists and bends iron. Omar says: " My mother and I are working on a legend, but practically we don’t earn money". “People like us have always lived poorly. And then legends were written about them and books were written, ”adds Sakinat Omarovna, recalling the famous strong men of the past.
Speaking of poverty. Today, Sakinat Khanapieva lives with her daughter and son-in-law and continues to dream of her own roof over her head. The worldwide recognition of her phenomenal abilities did not impress local businessmen and officials, who willingly endowed successful athletes with cars and land. They still prefer to ignore the strong grandmother of Sakinat.
