14 DAY TRIAL // Just the other day, Oksana Kosheleva of Irkutsk, Russia, probably set a new world record when she somehow managed to drag a tram car.
The tram car tipped the scale at about 17.2 tons. The Russian woman weighs just 79 kilograms (174 pounds) herself and yet she pulled it over about 5 meters (roughly 18 feet).
When asked how she did it, she explained that stunts like this pretty much come down to sheer determination. Training is also important, but determination is key.
“Emotional disposition is important. You should clearly understand whether you need it or not. If you do not need it, you will not succeed in this challenge,” she said, as cited by RT.
The video below, now understandably making the rounds, shows Oksana Kosheleva dragging the tram car behind her with the help of nothing but straps hugging her body.
She is down on all fours and it's pretty obvious she's not exactly having the time of her life. Onlookers are cheering her forward, and step by step, she makes the car surrender to her will.
The woman plans to drag a plane for her next stunt
The stunt with the tram car might have made her headline news, but Oksana Kosheleva plans something even more spectacular for her next performance.
By the looks of it, the Russian woman hopes to secure a plane weighing at least 20 tons - preferably more - and drag it just as she did with the tram car. She hopes this will land her name in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Interestingly, Oksana Kosheleva actually wanted to pull a plane for this stunt in Irkutsk. Since she couldn't find one, she had to settle for the tram car.
“I was preparing to move a plane but eventually ended up with a tram car. It was not hard, actually,” the Russian sportswoman told the press in a interview.
Until she gets her chance to try her strength against a plane, Oksana Kosheleva will attempt to drag a military vehicle and two or more tram cars neatly arranged in a row.
