IronMind® has confirmed that Russian strongman star Mikhail Koklyaev has torn his biceps.

Koklyaev, known for his engaging personality as well as his tremendous talent as a strength athlete, was seen as the most likely candidate to be the first Russian to win the World’s Strongest Man contest - something insiders predicted as possibly happening this year. 

Now, strongman fans will have to wait until next year to see this popular strongman appear in the World’s Strongest Man contest for the first time.
