Who wants long eyelashes?
Many girls desire for long and thick eyelashes which make their eyes look more beautiful. However, this is no the case for Muin Bachonaev, an 11-year-old Russian boy whose eyelashes had reached 4.3 cm when he was born.
Muin who now lives in Moscow was born in Tajik. His eyelashes have been so "distinct" from the average person. They were 4.3 cm long when they were born. The length was long enough to touch his lips.

His family thought his eyelashes were too exaggerated and they were worried his son was sick, while doctors said he was very healthy and explained to them the long eyelashes may be due to the medication taken by the mother during pregnancy.

But this little problem does not make Muin feel inferior and uneasy. Although some may be feared his eyelashes, he felt that he is living like a normal person, and he hasn't encountered difficulties. He didn't have special care or treatment to them.

Muin breaks the record of Russia's longest eyelashes. He has a dream, that is, he hopes to become a football player in the future, and his father is proud of such a son.

At present, the longest record holder for eyelashes in the world is a Chinese woman with a total length of 14 cm.

ZURICH (AP) — The International Ice Hockey Federation has announced the groups for next year's men's world championship without listing Russia, after last month saying the country's eligibility would be decided “on an event-by-event basis.”
Host nation Germany shares a group with Sweden and defending champion Finland, the IIHF said Monday. The United States and Canada will be based in Düsseldorf for the May 2027 tournament, along with six other teams including Czechia and Slovakia.
Ukraine is in Germany's group as it returns to the top level of IIHF men's play for the first time in 20 years after qualifying through a second-tier tournament last month.
Russia was not included in either of the two eight-team groups. It would be the sixth men's world championship it misses in a row since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Russia was also excluded from this year's Olympic hockey tournaments as a result.
The Russian hockey federation succeeded with an appeal to overturn an IIHF policy barring its teams from all events in the 2026-27 season.
The IIHF said last month that the decision didn't mean Russia would automatically be allowed back into all of its events, but that “safety, security, operational, and sporting plans” would guide future decision-making.
“At this time the Council will gather all relevant information and then make a decision on Russia’s eligibility in future IIHF competitions on an event-by-event basis,” the IIHF said at the time.
The IIHF didn't immediately respond to a request Monday to explain how this policy was applied in relation to the 2027 world championship.
