Maksim "The Iron Man" Emin

Maksim "The Iron Man" Emin (born 1. January 1965) is an active russian boccia player, playing for St. Petersburg. Many consider Maksim as the succesor of the great players Göran Ericson and Stefan Podsjikov, but in the latter years of his career he has suffered from different knee injuries and has therefore not won as much as people first expected. He is 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in) and weighs 75 kg (165 lbs).
