Eddie Hall is perhaps has the strongest back in the world he's a phenomenal lifter and you can
see it when he lets the car down look down his back those massive channels of muscle that runs
straight down the spine our penultimate event is the car deadlift for repetitions these beauties
are going to be lifted by the beasts in this next event it weighs about 370 kilos in the hands
the guys strap on and lift it for as many repetitions as possible in 60 seconds Eddie
last year you won this event you did around 17 18 reps do you think you can do it with this weight
um yeah it looks pretty similar way um I think last year did 19 reps and
has disallowed two so I'm not going to make that a mistake again so uh
¡yeah! I think so actually you were bouncing weren't you you were using the suspension
you're going to be made to have a dead stop each time that should change things a little yeah for
sure but ¡uh! you know I'm a good deadlifter probably the best here so I should never worry
and we get to our front runners and just reminder of how hot it really is
close to 40 degrees out here on these baking stones
as local hero Tamas Hajnal now comes out to face up to Britain's Strongest Man Eddie Hall
well he'll be topping up his town as well maybe not during contest time but with his wife
having a few days sights saying I'm sure they'll enjoy this gorgeous capital city in the summer
weather but first there is a giants live title to battle with local hero versus Britain's best
strict form here humping away on the right-hand side Hajnal now I'm sure he did hear the whistle
but he again is struggling with the weight calling 370 kilos 370 sounds reasonable
until you say that is 58 stone he's trying to lift off the ground well it's the front of the car I
mean it's a huge weight and it's got an engine it's got women inside it it's no surprise it's
a great personal best for one rep Eddie Hall is perhaps has the strongest back in the world he's
a phenomenal lifter and you can see it when he lets the car down look down his back those massive
channels of muscle that runs straight down the spine 15 seconds to go he's got 13 already
he has the lead in the competition from Michael Votter he's on 14 5 seconds to go one more Eddie
Hall that's clean it's 15 for the lead well barefoot he has finally taken his trainers off
and if he's feeling the pain it is definitely not showing Eddie Hall consummate professional
driving through there to take those 15 reps and that might be the winning performance
Mike Caruso has been looking very determined here
Graham Hicks runner up in Britain's Strongest Man double World's Strongest Man competitor
ready uk sending five athletes to World's Strongest Man this year
Hicks will be among them what about Caruso will he meet him there the target
15. these two men look to be pretty evenly matched Colin but Hicks has gone off faster
they're just slightly ahead brains as well as braun you have a phd in biochemistry on the left
and of course an engineer from british aerospace on the right heavyweight IQ´s more than anything
if they could lift it with brain power i'm sure they would be able to Caruso one behind
two behind now hicks he's got one target in his sights hasn't he he wants to match Eddie hall 10.
he's going to be really struggling to get to 15 though 15 seconds left Caruso won't get
to 10 he won't get to double figures what about Hicks one more 10 seconds
locks it out one more it's going to be very tight on time he's caring for it but doesn't get it
11 for Hicks and eight for Caruso that's how that one finishes
he still looks solid at the end I think another 30 seconds he'd still be going he's a fit man Hicks
coming out for the left-hand side he gets the choice of cars says the referee I don't think
there's a fast lane or a slow lane here and there's definitely Belsak bounce in this one
so the girls well they haven't got the air con on but they have got the windows open
must be very warm in those cars now these two first and second in the contest at the moment
birdman needs to produce an epic run here colleen he's gotta outperform Belsak but
it's neck and neck i'll tell you what Belsak is bouncing a little bit look there
he's gonna be in trouble waiting for the call says the referee and they've taken one off him
so Bergman has the lead Bergman to 10. Belsak in eight so he's cost himself one vital one
and maybe they were a little generous there now he's taking a rest Bergman on 12. winning overall
beating Eddie Hall would be great but beating Belsak will be just as good Belsak out at 11.
Bergman wants to know how many he's done 13.
this is to go into second place that's a big effort 14 can he tie Eddie Hall and get winners
points he's going for it is he going to be given it yes by a second that was superhuman stuff
that is what makes this giants competition edge of the seat stuff
so Bergman strikes again tying deadlift specialist Eddie hall
to take his third straight win with a tally of 15 repetitions
that means that overall the american has now closed to just one point behind Belsak who in turn
had his worst event so far and with battered Eddie Hall now also within two and a half points it's
gonna be a nail-biting final event that determines which of these men claims victory in Budapest
