He is 49 years old, from Aruba, and still made history by pulling a 21,737 lb vehicle by his neck on January 9, demonstrating his strength.

Egmond Molina caught the world’s attention by pulling a bus over 65 feet using his neck, according to the Guinness World Record Instagram post.

In the May 6 post, Molina was seen pulling the vehicle with ease, using a rope around his neck.

The Guinness World Record holder has now broken the previous record of 17,769.26 lbs, set in 2024 by Ukrainian strongman Dmytro Hrunskyi.

Talking about the dedication behind the moment of joy, the Strongman said, “My mission is to leave a legacy of discipline for them and for the youth of my island.

It is a privilege to share my journey. As a representative of my beautiful home, Aruba, a small island with a population of only 110,000. I aim to show the world that greatness can come from even the smallest corners of the globe.”

Molina, who dedicated his records to his grandparents, also said, “My records are a tribute to my people and my family’s enduring legacy.”

Talking about his records, Molina not only makes world history, but also does so for the first time. He has a long list of other achievements, too.
