Competitors in the Strongman Champions League showed their mettle in Zhengzhou, China, during the doubles airplane-pulling competition, hauling a 34.6-ton Boeing 737-300 over distance of 20 meters in one of the events. The winning pair covered the distance in 35.9 seconds in what is a true test of mental and physical strength.
