i never mentioned powerlifting


powerlifting is in between sport and circus


strongman is pure circus

Then what makes him an "elite lifter"?

FFS, what have you've learned so far? This is powerlifting and strong man stuff, not weightlifting. Weightlifting is all about the snatch and the clean and jerk.
So you're contradicting yourself, because you confuse things

misha is many times champion weightlifter

For some reason you don't know? Maybe you should improve your communication skills, in general, a weak point of your culture.

Back to your "circus sport" statement. There is a show aspect involved in strongman events, but they're much more appealing to the general public.
I agree about the injuries, not that weightlifting on a high level is healthy...
