The incident with famous Russian performer Prokhor Shalyapin took place in one of the gyms, where filming of an episode of the show project of judo world champion Alexei Ledenev's show project «Judo with the Stars» took place.
The filming was attended by host Andrei Malakhov, illusionist Sergei Safronov, and showman Rustam Solntsev.
The hero of the next episode was singer Prokhor Chaliapin. But his appearance on the tatami ended rather tragically - Ledenev overdid it with a choke hold.
Medics, who were on duty at the shooting, found Prokhor unconscious, but immediately began to pump him out and after a while the artist came to himself.
Ledenev, however, said that he was a little overdone and the performer simply passed out - it happens.
