Afternoon in Khimki: lifting, a landmark bridge, and park play
Sunday, July 12, 2026 · Updated Sunday, July 12, 2026
A man in a white and black powerlifting singlet, black shorts, and red knee sleeves is attempting a deadlift. He is gripping a barbell loaded with heavy weights on both sides. His face is contorted with effort. A man wearing a black shirt with "WPFP" on it is standing to his left, his hands on the lifter's back. Another man in a similar black shirt stands behind the lifter. A bald referee in a white shirt with "REFEREE" printed on the back is seated in a chair facing the lifter. The scene takes place on a red platform, likely in a competition venue, with some spectators visible in the background. The lighting is dim, with spotlights focused on the lifter.
In Khimki, Russia, the Church of Archangel Michael stands as a prominent white structure with turquoise domes and intricate facade designs, set against a backdrop of modern high-rise apartment buildings under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, a meticulously landscaped flowerbed displays vibrant rows of yellow and orange marigolds, bordered by light-colored gravel and a paved walkway. Several people are visible in the scene: two young men sit on a bench to the left, with a bicycle beside them; others walk on the paved area near the church and in the distance. The overall atmosphere is bright and sunny, suggesting a pleasant day in a well-maintained urban park setting.
