The man set a double record: Guinness and the National record of Ukraine, according to the Dnipro city council.

“Today Dmitry pulled a subway car weighing 32,5 tons over 11 m 55 cm in 1 minute 18 seconds and thus became the first in the world who was able to handle such a weight in this way,” said Vitaly Zorin, an expert at the National Register of Records of Ukraine.

Dmitry Grunsky dedicated his record to the fight against the invaders and called for donations to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Dmitry Grunsky began preparing for a double record a year ago, but the war prevented him from winning the title earlier.

The first official attempt to set a record for Dmitry was scheduled for February 24, but on this day a full-scale invasion began. The Guinness Committee agreed to postpone this attempt until the athlete has the opportunity.

“Another difficulty was that previously my training was with the help of a support, but the Guinness representatives said that it should just be me, a cable around my neck and a towing device. And this is difficult, because with the support I could stretch more than 20 meters, and without it I had to stretch at least 5 meters,” said Dmitry.

Previously, Dmitry first tied a rope to the rails, put a rope around his neck and moved with the help of a rope, making it easier for himself, because the athlete’s own weight is relatively small.

In the end, even without a rope, he managed to set a record and drag a subway car more than 11 meters.

After setting the record, Dmitry called on all Ukrainians to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“The cable that is pulled around your neck suffocates you and deprives you of oxygen. This is how the occupiers are now trying to deprive us of oxygen and existence, killing our people and destroying our infrastructure,” the athlete said. “In this way, I am trying to convey our struggle - although it is suffocating, we will always stand and win.”

The Dnipro City Council commented on the record and talked about the carriage that Dmitry was dragging with his neck.

“Athletes sometimes come to us to train on subway cars, trolleybuses or buses. And we always agree, because we understand that our guys prove to everyone that Ukrainians are the strongest and invincible nation, firstly, at the front, and secondly, in sports,” commented Ivan Vasyuchkov, chief specialist of the Department of Transport and Transport Infrastructure .

It was the car that Grunsky handed over that worked on the line about two weeks ago, and is now temporarily out of use.

“I’ll also add that we allow athletes to use the carriage exclusively at times when it is not transporting Dnepryan. This does not affect the operation of the metro in any way,” says the official.
