An Armenian rescuer-firefighter set a new Guinness World Record.
Zorik Poghosyan from the #2 Firefighting-Rescue Detachment of the Ministry of Emergency Situations lifted a 175kg barbell, placed it on his shoulders and walked for 1 meter and 90cm in the squat position, and then turned around and stood up.
This is the fifth world record set by Zorik Poghosyan, a local of Vanadzor.
Vardan Tovmasyan, head of the ‘Epic Book’ Association of Armenia, Armen Gasparyan, director of the rescue service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and Tigran Petrosyan, deputy director, were present at the event held in the open-air area of the Lori Regional Rescue Department.
