While attempting to lift the 400kg weight, Sedykh’s knees suddenly lost balance causing him to fall to the ground screaming in pain.

Medics and officials quickly rushed to his aid and Sedykh was immediately transferred to hospital for surgery. It is believed that he is suffered with fractured knees and required his quadriceps muscles to be reattached.
