Former Survivor contestant Giorgos Polychros pulled a 2.5-ton car using his teeth in a stunt captured on video on Tuesday, September 1.
The reality television personality, who gained public recognition on the Greek edition of Survivor as a member of the Eparchiotes team, shared the footage on his personal Instagram account.
In the video clip, Polychros is seen biting down on a rope attached to the front bumper of the vehicle. Within a few seconds of taking hold of the line, he begins moving backward and pulling the 2,500-kilogram vehicle toward himself.
Polychros accompanied the Instagram video upload with a simple caption citing the weight of the vehicle as 2,500 kilograms.
Stunt recorded by Survivor teammates
Polychros was accompanied during the demonstration by Mandisa Tsota and Olga Lovera, who both competed alongside him as teammates on Survivor.
Tsota and Lovera filmed the challenge on their mobile devices as Polychros completed the pull. The two women began clapping and cheering for Polychros immediately after he successfully moved the vehicle.
Survivor is an international reality television format in which participants are isolated in remote locations and split into competing tribes. Contestants undergo demanding physical challenges, tribal eliminations, and endurance tests to remain in the competition. On the Greek version of the show, the Eparchiotes tribe featured contestants hailing from regional provinces across Greece.
Previous vehicle pulls on social media
The vehicle pull is not the first time Polychros has demonstrated extreme dental strength on social media.
In a previously published video on his profile, the former reality contestant attempted to move three cars lined up in a row using only his teeth. In that instance, Polychros also achieved his goal, successfully shifting all three vehicles in sequence.
Vehicle pulling using human physical power is a long-standing tradition in strongman and extreme fitness culture. While standard vehicle pulls typically rely on a shoulder harness or rope, pulling heavy machinery or automobiles using a bite grip requires specialised jaw strength and body positioning to overcome the initial rolling resistance of multi-ton loads.
