On December 2, 2025, a new national sports record of Ukraine was set in Kyiv. Two Ukrainian veterans demonstrated extraordinary endurance and strength by performing the highest number of pull-ups completed together in a single session. Their result — 1002 pull-ups, with a total execution time of 1 hour and 38 minutes.
The record was officially verified by Hanna Krysiuk, CEO of the Book of World Records, who confirmed full compliance with the established rules and the correct execution of all repetitions.
The participants of the record were two servicemen for whom sport has long been more than physical activity.
Oleksandr Titenko, a soldier of the 4th Separate Special Forces Regiment “Rangers” of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces and a three-time national record holder, relied on his rigorous training, combat experience, and iron discipline to reach this new milestone.
The second participant was Stanislav Zorii, a veteran of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces and an active contributor to social and sports initiatives supporting wounded Ukrainian soldiers. His participation in the record-setting session reflects years of personal development and a strong desire to inspire others.
The joint achievement of these two Ukrainian veterans has become a symbol of willpower, mutual support, and resilience. This record is not only about physical strength — it highlights how Ukrainian warriors continue to demonstrate endurance and leadership in every sphere of their lives, inspiring thousands with their example.
