Egyptian wrestler Ashraf Mahrous, known as Kabonga, set three Guinness World Records this week. He achieved records for the heaviest rail pull with his teeth, the heaviest locomotive pull, and the fastest 100-meter vehicle pull. At Cairo's Ramses train station, Mahrous pulled a 279-ton train with his teeth for nearly 10 meters. He also demonstrated his strength by pulling the train with a strap around his shoulders. Mahrous, in his 40s, is the president of the Egyptian Federation for Professional Wrestlers. He previously set records for cracking 11 raw eggs in 30 seconds and pulling a 15,730-kilogram truck with his teeth.
