Weighing 41.5 kilograms at the age of three, Dzhambulat Khatokhov is the heaviest and strongest child in the world. A fact confirmed by a certificate and medal from the "Guinness Book of World Records".
The mother of the sensational child, Nelya Kabardokova, took her son to the medical examination in Moscow where the child was reported to be in excellent health.
Dzhambulat quickly captured the attention of the capital city and central TV channels. The Moscow champions of Sumo dreamed to secure this treasure among their members. When Nelya returned to Terek, journalists from the Czech Republic were inquiring about the young world record holder.
Dzhambik, as he is affectionately called, was an ordinary child the first month of his life, but the next months he began to grow and gain weight, literally with every hour. "I fed him and brought him up just like my two elder sons, and I do not know why he became so different?, says the mother of the hero. "At one years old he weighted 17 kilograms. They say that the cousin of my father was characterized by enormous size and unusual strength too."
Five baby carriages were broken under the weight of this little man, until friends of the family made an extra-heavy iron construction on the wheels specifically for him. Nelya Kabardokova asserts that Dzhambik is ahead of his contemporaries not only physicaly, but also in mental and the spiritual development. She says that he demonstrates cleverness and independence beyond his years.
Elder brothers of Dzhambot took him to their sport training sessions. He quickly attracted the attention of the coach Anatoliy Buzdov, under whose management this young heavy athlete established his first record, raising a 25 kilogram rod. Nelya says that her son has long been inclined toward raising heavy things. Hardly after learning how to walk, Dzhambik raised a bucket full of water, with which his mother used to wash the floor. Very often this strong little man has impulses to lift his mom off the ground. At the sport competition where the athletes of the Terek region were honored, Dzhambulat Khatokhov became the main event. He entered the stage under the wild delight of spectators and did not disappoint as he lifted two heavy weights.
