 What the “world’s strongest kid” looks like 20 years after fame

Richard Sandrak was once the strongest boy in the world. His photos were in all the magazines, he hosted his sports program and even acted in films thanks to his incredible athletic form, which he reached when he was still a 6-year-old child.


Richard’s parents are professional athletes. They began to involve the boy in sports training as soon as he was 2 years old. Over time, the child himself began to show interest in sports. Then his father found him a coach – a professional bodybuilder, who agreed to work with such a baby, despite the fact that bodybuilding is not a children’s sport and was not very suitable for the general physical development of the child.

And already at the age of 6, Richard showed phenomenal success. From the bench press, he squeezed about 80 kg, and his body became embossed like that of a professional adult athlete.

Every year the boy developed and improved his shape, which helped him achieve popularity in the media sphere as a result. He advertised all the products that were associated with a healthy lifestyle.


But then the public changed its position from admiration for the child to general fears for his physical and mental health. Media reports began to appear that the child had only 1 percent body fat, which is deadly for his age. A wave of criticism fell upon his parents.


And after years, it turned out that the father was cruel to the baby, forced him to sit on a strict diet and train for 7 hours a day. As a result of all these events, the training of young Hercules ended.

Now Richard continues to play sports, but not so actively. He’s still in good shape, but of course it doesn’t compare to previous achievements. A young man works as a stuntman and admits that he doesn’t regret his sports childhood.
