Mikhail Viktorovich Koklyaev (Russian: Михаил Викторович Кокляев, born 17 December 1978) is a Russian weightlifter, powerlifter, strongman and boxer.

Strongman

Koklyaev has placed third place at the Arnold Strongman Classic in 2006, 2008 and 2013, as well as second in 2009.[2] He was a medalist of all three IFSA World Championships, finishing third in 2005, second in 2006[3] and second in 2007.[4]

Koklyaev came in second place (with Igor Pedan) at the IFSA Strongman World 2-Man Championship, in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2007. He finished third at the 2010 World's Strongest Man contest, but failed to make the finals for the 2012 World's Strongest Man. Koklyaev qualified for the 2013 World's Strongest Man finals, but had to withdraw due to an earlier injury after the first event. He is a 7-time Strongman Champions League grand prix winner, and finished third overall for both the 2010 and 2012 SCL seasons.

Having competed in 50 International strongman competitions and winning 11 of them, Koklyaev is among the 20 most decorated strongmen of all time.[5]
