Brian Shaw tied for third place after the first two events with compatriot and training colleague Mike Burke,
and Colin Bryce he needs to match Burke here, he needs to get all eight he's clearing a double
decker bus plus an extra story as he just rips through this, this is about speed, he doesn't doubt,
he's getting them over, this is outrageous! the last one... ¡oh! my goodness! 16.59 seconds. Surely that can't
be beaten! that's ridiculous! he never looked back, two in the air at one point there, you might as
well be juggling with them again, the contempt that he shows for the weight, he's like it's Savickas
without Axle.
Easy!
Big Daddy versus giant Haystacks time again, isn't it? the crowd are on his side
not done yet.
Is he smarting from those earlier defeats? yeah! I think it's really hurting him and he's just pouring out emotion there after a brilliant performance and he needed it he really did.
Brian that was huge! eight kegs tossed in 16.59 seconds, have you ever done it that quick?
no, I think last year I set the Mark around 18 seconds on this and and the setup was about the
same. I trained I actually ran through Keg Toss a couple times at home with a 17 foot wall so this
is 16 so, I knew that I'd have a lot of clearance like with the height so, I just knew I had to do
it quickly and ¡uh! you know I needed, I needed to really put some big pressure on these next two
guys and I don't think that that's beatable. um...I'm gonna throw that out there. Normally I wouldn't say
that but, that was that was really really good so, I think the the next best time after me ever is
something just under 20 seconds so, you know, if they can there they got a lot of work to do to
beat that. That's all I'm going to say. Please welcome from Iceland. Hafthor Bjornsson. New height, new fastest time he has
set a new world strongman record, the question is, will it last a year or just a few minutes?
These guys are tossing these kegs like they are empty, I guarantee they are not! Bjornsson even
quicker than Shaw at the start there, flicking these again without looking backwards. I tell
you what, if I was in the crowd I'd be taking a step back those are coming a long way over the
top. oh! he just clears it, look at the time! 16,35 a quarter of a second faster! this is what we want!
Stop smacked, Shaw is gobsmacked, we all are!
The new leader of the Keg Toss
This is the best of the best,
the greatest of the greatest! this is what we want to see more of all the way through!
But if you hadn't got that last keg perfectly, I mean, it just cleared the bar and the time
stops when it hits the sand, now look at this, some of the earlier ones a lot of power put
into them, they went way too high but the last one just perfect! Fosbury flops over!
but some of those landed in a different postcode, the three times World Strongest Man, Zydrunas Savickas. Everyone who
comes out plays another trump card, three-time champion, professor Z, it's Zydrunas Savickas
can't go quicker! can't go quicker! it's we're almost getting to physically...
didn't go over! he missed the white one! he's got to do it again! oh well his chances of winning
this are absolutely over! but he's got to keep his cool, well at worst he'll probably end up in third
but, oh! will he hang on a minute Burke's time 28,94 now becomes relevant, because he might only end
up in fourth, he is not going to be third, he is only going to end up in fourth, the joint leader
¡oh my goodness! 28.94 was the time he needed to beat the third doesn't do it! 30 points 40 seconds
Stumbled twice there! Wow, everyone apparently is human!
Hafthor Bjornsson.. so Bjornsson then!
To carry on this rivalry, that's become the story of this event
Hansson got a slower time than anyone was expecting because of that slip up.
Bjornson's gonna want to go at this end fast, he's terrific at this event!
he's tremendous now, 21 96 by Hanson, that's a tough time to beat, look at the high though! and
the speed as well! four to go, he's only done 10 seconds clipped the bar there,
didn't put him off, if you need a keg thrown over a bus, Bjornsson's your man. The final one, no problem!
Look at that, 20,24 seconds, all seven kegs a brilliant time! also, the fact
that he's thrown all seven means that if he wishes, he can have a go at the World Record,
and just look at this, for confidence. First one's only just landed before the
second one's in the air, great event for him.
Let's see what he can pull off next.
So our show's kerfuffle with his kegs costs him dear, the big man Thor takes the win though
pushed hard by Johnny Hansson and with those three men doing all seven kegs, that gives
them the right to go at the World Record. okay, you've just killed that! I knew you would do,
question, if we winch this up and go for the World Record ¿will you give it your best and give it a go?
I want to break the roof of this house!! all right, let's do it! not known for his subtlety.
Here we go! 7.1 meters, Bjornsson to break the World Record, the most powerful man on the planet
Hafthor Julius Bjornsson! now remember this is optional, it's not part of the competition,
15 kilos, this is just for fun. 7.1 meters and it would send a message, this guy's ready for this rivalry,
he can't hear you! the crowd got their phones out! can't realize that we're filming this for them,
but here we go, 7.1 meters and this guy will hold the World Record for the keg toss.
easy and he's delighted by that!
Not often you see him jump, not often you'd want him to.
No words from the big man, just lifting up my co-commentator, impress he's actually he's 47 stone!
