Omar Hanapiev, a renowned strong man from the Russian town of
Eisk has set a world record by dragging a ship for
6 meters with his teeth, the Regnum News Agency reports Wednesday.

Krasnodar’s Regional Department of Resorts and Tourism Development, the sportsman dubbed “Iron teeth” pulled the vessel, with a load displacement of 2,200 tons, using a series of ropes,for a distance of 6 meters The feat took place in Eisk’s dockyard.
The multiple world record breaker claims to have beaten his own previous record. Nine years ago, in the fishing
port of Makhachkala, Hanapiev dragged a 567-ton tanker, moving it from the shore into the sea for a distance of
15 meters.
The Hercules from
Dagestan first demonstrated his unusual talent at the age of 10 when he used to pull out nails from a board with his teeth and bend horseshoes.
