Aqsaqal from Almaty region sets a record

His last record was 77 stones. Witnesses said that the elder was invited to Almaty for demonstration of his skill.

"Some guests thought that I brought special stones but then I asked them to bring some stones from the outside. I shattered all the stones they brought. And then they stood applauding me!", said the old Hercules.

The record holder lives with his wife Raihan in the town of Sarkan. He devoted his life to farming. Saken broke his first stone in the age of 24.

During his life, our hero has shattered about one thousand stones. He has eight children and 26 grandchildren. Saken Ata intends to shatter 90 stones at a time. When we asked him about the secret of his skill, he answered with a smile - "My secret is fortitude, purity of intentions and force of the body".

''And most important is the faith in the Supreme Being'', said the old man.
