Title: Iron Biby, the Burkinabé who breaks records and inspires youth
Introduction :
In the world of sport, there are people who stand out for their strength, determination and exceptional talent. This is the case of Iron Biby, a Burkinabé who recently crushed the competition during a strength competition in Scotland. By lifting a 230 kilo tree trunk with his bare hands, he broke a record and became “the strongest man in the world”. But beyond this incredible performance, Iron Biby is also an example of courage and motivation for young people, particularly for the Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland (VDP) in Burkina Faso who are fighting against terrorism.
Road to success :
In an interview with RFI, Iron Biby, whose real name is Cheick Ahmed al-Hassan Sanou, shares his journey and the efforts he made to achieve this new world record. For two years, he devoted himself to intensive training in order to gain an extra kilo each time, constantly pushing his limits. But according to him, the key to his success lies in his strong mind and his desire to surpass himself. He worked with mental preparation professionals to strengthen this connection between his mind and body, and thus perform to the maximum of his abilities.
An ambassador of Burkinabe pride:
By becoming the world strength champion, Iron Biby proudly represents his country, Burkina Faso, on the international stage. He is accompanied by other Burkinabe athletes, such as Hugues Fabrice Zongo, triple jump world champion, who help to make the country known throughout the world. For Iron Biby, it is important to share this success with African youth, in order to offer them hope and the motivation necessary to achieve their own goals. He thus wishes to promote and inspire the young people of the continent.
A tribute to the Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland:
During his exploit, Iron Biby wore a headband on his forehead with the inscription “VDP”, in reference to the Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland in Burkina Faso. This dedication was a message of support and recognition to these civilian volunteers who courageously fight against terrorism in the country. Iron Biby considers that all Burkinabés are VDP, because each in their own way contributes to defending and saving their homeland. He believes that their bravery and dedication are worthy of admiration and praise.
