Welcome to another podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk. Today's guest is Ilya Khazov.
Ilya Khazov, born in Russia and a long-term resident of Cyprus, has made a significant mark in strongman competitions. He set a Guinness world record on Italian TV for rope jumping while holding an 80kg anvil, a challenge he prepared for with rigorous training that now forms part of his weekly routine.
Ilya competed in multiple Strongman Champions League (SCL) events in 2022, achieving notable placements and setting records, such as lifting a 360kg front loader in Finland. Despite suffering serious injuries, including a career-threatening bicep tear, he remains focused on competing at the highest levels, including the upcoming World's Strongest Man.
Ilya's athletic endeavors extend beyond strongman competitions to martial arts and professional paintball, where his team placed third in Europe. When not competing, he enjoys playing competitive PC games and solving escape rooms with his wife, Lily.
