Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh, 58, has gone viral after bench-pressing 100kg for 20 repetitions during a visit to a military unit.
The former Army officer removed his suit jacket, performed the lift in front of soldiers and officers, then shook hands with those around him before putting his jacket back on. Khurelsukh has a background in bodybuilding and martial arts and served in the Mongolian People's Army before entering politics. He has been President since 2021.
