A Buryat woman in heels easily broke her spinal bone with her hand and became a social media star
A young girl in an evening dress took part in the national fun and playfully broke a bone with her gloved hand. With such a friend, you’re not afraid to go into battle!
People on social networks are amazed at the power of a Buryat girl who broke a spinal bone without using any tools. The video was filmed at a big celebration - as the media found out - at a wedding. Those gathered at the laid tables “cheer” for the beauty, cheering her on with shouts.
The host of the celebration can be heard saying: “If Dulma breaks a bone, I’ll give you a thousand rubles!” Dulma - that is the name of the Buryat woman - goes to the center of the hall and easily handles the bone.
The game "Breaking the Spinal Bone", or Heer Shaalgan, has a thousand-year history. In 2019, this national fun of the Buryats was even included in the sports program of the International Ethnocultural Festival "Yordyn Games", held from June 13 to 15 on Olkhon.
By the way, Dulma Erbaeva, the heroine of this video, took third place in these competitions.
For this game, one of the 13 bones from the spine of a bull or cow is used (they can reach 30 centimeters in length). They are harvested during the slaughter of livestock, in late autumn or early winter. For Heer shaalgan, boiled and completely cleaned spinal bone is suitable.
First, the athlete “probes” it, as if patting it and trying it on, then delivers a sharp blow, after which the bone breaks in half.
