A 69-year-old man from the Russian Republic of Dagestan claims to have set a new world record for the fastest weight loss, after losing over 11 kilograms during a 2.5-hour race.

Bahama Aigubov had already had his name carved in the Russian Book of Records in 2019 when he lost 9.3 kg after a five-hour race, but he recently managed to break his own record by losing 11.1 kg in 2.5 hours during a 21 km race in Makhachkala. Aigubov cannot have his record recognized by the Guinness Book of Records, as it does not acknowledge achievements in rapid weight loss so as not to encourage people to engage (参与) in dangerous experiments, but the person claims to be the fastest body weight person in the world, by far.

A Russian, European, and even World champion in judo, sambo, Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling, Bahama Aigubov has had a lot of weight-cutting experience for fights. He said that in his youth, he could lose up to 17 kg for fights, but it has been getting harder ever since. Still, he managed to beat every other competitor in terms of weight loss. Aigubov recently expressed his disappointment at people dismissing his claim and telling him to his face that they don’t believe him, but he claims he can lose weight faster and more efficiently than anyone.

“They say that a heavyweight will appear and beat you… But the record is measured as a percentage of body weight. If a person weighs a lot more, of course, he will lose more. And percentage-wise, I can beat anyone. In three and a half years, no one has broken my record. Many tried, there were so many of them in Dagestan...  And the Americans tried, but where would they go?” said Aigubov.
