we have the world record holder here today Sven Carlson
185 kilos he did that in Stockholm Sweden in the super series last year this log is thick though
anyone who does 160 kilos will be world class we've had some failures already Yanni Vertinon
dropped out at 120 kilos in fact he's pulled out of the whole competition that thigh injury
from World Strongest man last year still plaguing Zydrunas Savickas the lithuanian also clear 150 kilos
Mariusz Pudzianowski
should be good for 150. he's got awesome tricep power and a very good leg snap as well
impressive lift there you would have imagined Dimmick the other pole would have been better
at this normally he is watchberg manus here the olympic lifter great footwork
and he's worked a lot at his tricep power a man who's clean and jerk 245 kilos you'd think he'd
make light work of 150 in the log but it's really quite a different event Rennie Mainfits of Denmark
and the last man to go at 150 kilos László Fekete of Hungary, Shaq Ruska of Holland
have also failed at earlier weights. Goodness me Minkvitz is a bear of a man - but failed at the
first go - as he just didn't have the power there. Well he's looking like he's going to go for a
second attempt, but usually if you fail in the first one you're not good for the second one
I bet my house on the fact he won't get this it would be unbelievable in this heat if you could
produce a second attempt at it ¡oh! my goodness me that is unbelievable Jamie Reeves gives
him the white flag Mingvits goes clear at and it looked easy what was the first attempt all about
the bar has risen
155 kilos
he's psyched up he's pumped up can he get the weight now he goes clear 155
first man to go clear we've had two passes out this way Sven Carlson and Anders Johansson the
Swede have both passed at 155 opting to go for 160. they do have that option to
keep their energy but if they fail at 160 they're in trouble this is Pudzianowski.
good lift, great lifting fact maybe polish power Mariusz
and expecting to be there, there about every event
is about with one fifty five Bergmanis and Mainfits passing as well
start with the next round 160 kilograms
good for Arnold Hans there disappointment, former World's Strongest man and
former world record holder in the log - Jamie Reeves - refereeing here.
Reeves managed 180 kilograms at two record off Kazmaier, rack in the lane 80s
no good, Johans for fews the last title, still 155, good lift for him
Zydrunas Savickas 155
is he good for 160 ¡oh! so close my goodness me he's leaning back so far he's almost bench
pressing at 160 kilos ¡oh! no good, this log is really thick it has to be said
and all the log about 12 inches thick this more like 16 inches, really digs in at your face it's hard to see
from this camera angle but it's sitting right on your nose, chin, windpipe, crushing you down.
Pudzianowski 160 is a fantastic, he goes clear. The first man to do so at 160kg.
Furious from Johansen and Karlsen as well at 160kg. that brings out Raymond's Bergmannis
the olympic lifter 36 years old now.
fantastic lifting there straight up you see that using almost no triceps
Rene Minkwitz
does he have what it takes
good to the chest do you remember him failing 150 the first time unbelievable he came out and
battled again almost there I think he's got it ¡oh! that's unbelievable 160 kilos
he passed on 155 so we have three men left in the competition going forward to 165.
that's well in excess of 350 pounds
is surely will be to designing weight
Mariusz feeling the heat 30 degrees here in Holland
sweltering
165 kilos
I don't think he can even get off his chest he's struggling, no, no, no good
now World's Strongest man there knows one is beaten
really big feets watches on as Bergmanis of Latvia goes for the lift
if they all fail they will draw on 160. I don't think ¡oh! my goodness me, wrestling up in the end Bergmanis managed 165 kilos
Raimond, Pudzianowski is not dressed, can the Renee do it it's possible yeah
he struggled at 150. he made 160 look pretty easy he's getting better and better
¡oh! surely if he gets the legs a little bit more into it. He did.
So it looks like you're the winner here today then, in the first event, congratulations.
no bad start but anyway six events it's forward and something wrong is possible but I fight I
told you, congratulations, thank you, very modest indeed that was better than okay
