Two representatives of the Bulgarian Federation of Strength Sports - "Strongman" faced off a 40-ton Airbus A220-300 passenger plane - the newest aircraft of national airliner Bulgaria Air.

 In a peculiar competition the multiple republican champion and winner of four world and four European titles in powerlifting Hristo Muskov, and Velizar Mitov, who is also a republican champion in powerlifting, managed separately to pull the machine a distance of up to 15 meters. They say that the idea for the competition was born spontaneously but the results would be sent as an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of Records.
