Russian Powerlifting champion Ivan Savkin claims to have set a new world record in Primorsky Krai’s village of Smolyaninovo, Tuesday, by pulling a 288 tonne electric train.
This is Savkin's second attempt at setting the world record and he managed to pull the train a total distance of 1.1 metres. According to the sportsman, the challenge was made all the more difficult due to the cold and the grease used on the trains wheels, which froze in the cold temperatures.
The video of the record is to be sent to the Guinness Book of Records so that it can be confirmed.
The previous record was set it in August 2016, by another Russian sportsman Denis Nagibin, who pulled a 192-tonne locomotive.
