TBILISI (AFP) — A young Georgian wrestler pulled two Ford minibuses tied to his ear and weighing 4.5 tons over a distance of 41 meters and 10 centimeters, in an attempt to make a new entry into the Guinness Book of World Records.

The two minibuses were chained together and linked to a nylon rope attached to Lasha Pataraia's left ear.

"I was sure that I could fulfill this task. And I want to beat this (new) record soon," Pataraia told reporters following his performance. A video recording of Pataraia's accomplishment was to be sent to Guinness World Records.

Pataraia already made Guinness World Records history. Three years ago, he pulled one minibus with his ears over a distance of 48 meters.
