Muscling in to the record books

Two Belarusian men pull a World War II tank more than five metres to set a new world record.

Kirill Shimko and Pavel Soroka were attached to the 30 tonne tank with harnesses and ropes, pulling themselves along ladders on the ground. The two strong men covered a distance of 5.10 metres.

The T34 Soviet tank was assembled from parts salvaged from vehicles destroyed during World War II in Belarus.

Representatives from the Interstrong international records club witnessed the event. They awarded Shimko and Soroka medals and certificates and are approaching the Guinness Book of Records for recognition of the feat.
