- Description:A woman from Tuva, Russia has made headlines for her impressive feat of strength. Aiza Idam-Syuryun made 60 squats while carrying a 50-kilogram ram on her shoulders. Idam-Syuryun participated in the "Khoi Kodureri" competition, which translates to "lifting the ram," and won first place among the women. The men's competition was won by Namchyakay Buyan, who completed 171 squats with the same weight. Idam-Syuryun explained that she doesn't engage in any sports and attributed her success to natural endurance. She didn't plan on participating in the competition and decided to give it a try on a whim. "I just went to celebrate Shagaa near my house. I was passing by the competition area and saw a woman carrying a ram on her shoulders and squatting with it. It caught my interest... So, I decided to test my strength and give it a try. I didn't even think about winning, but I did!" said Idam-Syuryun. As a prize, she was awarded the ram that she lifted during the competition. While some may view this type of competition as unusual, it is a traditional part of the Shagaa celebration in Tuva.
