Who is Sina Ruppenthal? Strongwoman who lifted and threw 10 men in 37.44 seconds sets Guinness World Record

Strength, speed, and focus came together in an impressive moment when Sina Ruppenthal set a new Guinness World Record. She lifted and threw 10 men in just 37.44 seconds on the TV show Die große Show der Weltrekorde in Munich in August 2025. The feat has now gone viral, with people online both surprised and impressed.

Not just strength – there’s a lot more to it

At first glance, it might look like this was all about power, but there’s more going on. Each man had to be lifted properly and thrown over her shoulder in a controlled way. That takes technique, balance, and stamina, not just strength.

In clips shared by Guinness World Records, she moves quickly from one person to the next without slowing down, finishing all 10 throws in just 37.44 seconds. It’s the kind of performance that makes you pause and watch twice.

Internet reactions say it all

The moment has sparked a wave of reactions online, and people seem to love both her skill and the teamwork behind it. One viewer wrote,

“I love how seriously these men are taking their jobs. Full on, ‘I need to hold my form so she can do this easier.’ And the kiss and love from her partner after. If there was any hope for green flag men supporting a woman in her mission, this is where we'd start.”

Another comment said, “Their smiles and then running back around for another go are so cute,” while a third added, “The concept of queuing up to be thrown is so funny to me.”

Who is she?

Sina Ruppenthal isn’t new to strength sports. As mentioned in a report by NDTV, she’s an elite German strongwoman, athlete, and sports scientist, ranked as the fourth strongest natural woman in the world. She also holds several German records.

Her latest record is a reminder of how much attention women in strength sports are getting today, and why performances like this leave such a strong impression.
