Elias Meyer, a Swiss powerlifter, achieved a new world record by spending 2 hours and 7 seconds buried in snow wearing only swim trunks. This feat surpassed the previous record of 1 hour, 45 minutes, and 2 seconds set by Valerjan Romanvoski in 2022. Meyer noted the weight of the snow caused shoulder and elbow pain, but he remained grateful throughout the challenge.

Meyer, aiming to demonstrate the body's incredible capabilities, endured the cold and pressure of the snow. He remarked, 'The heavy snow pressed me down, causing my shoulders and elbows to ache.' His achievement highlights human resilience and the pursuit of pushing physical limits.

The previous record of 1 hour, 45 minutes, and 2 seconds was set by Polish man Valerjan Romanvoski in 2022.
