History
Until the 1940s, kettlebell lifting as a discipline did not exist. There were only a few enthusiasts who were engaged in kettlebells for their own development. However, kettlebells, as a sports equipment, have a very long history. The earliest historical records about them date back to the 17th century.
In 1948, the first kettlebell lifting competitions were held. They were carried out under the patronage of weightlifters and included exercises with 32 kg weights. After that, the competitions began to be held on an ongoing basis, gradually acquired rules and acquired a format typical for modern competitions. The basic rules for kettlebell lifting were developed in the early 1960s. In 1985, kettlebell lifting received official recognition, and two years later the All-Union kettlebell lifting federation arose.
