next up is something Herculean 200 kilos in the hand these giant Hercules hole pillars
who can hold them the longest that's the question for Shivlyakov already had a
crack 39.1 eight seconds, he was still smiling as must Stoltman forty six point
four nine manage to better the Russian, Pritchett better that though 4908 as for
the poll he never looked comfortable but he managed to go ahead of rich it just
now then next after the outs Martin Licis right down the bottom
of the pile sits in ninth equal last equal basically overall not
a position you'd expect Martin Licis to ever be Eddie's definitely top four in the
world the bankers finished fourth twice a world Strongest Man the last two times
now canny does dig in somehow managed to mind-over-matter these so they stay
up longer than forty nine point six four seconds, record holder Mark Felix is still
to come Feelix has done something like one minutes 20 which is extraordinary, he really
is on a different level to everybody else we are ten seconds away then from Licis going ahead of
Kieliszkowski five four seconds he's really shaking heavily now, he might just do it ¡yes! he
does, it's when those pillars strike the bottom on the ground that's when the science stops
and Licis can take a little bit of pleasure out of this competition with that performance
that's for sure now Rob Kearney really has the smallest hands of all the competitors
currently 5th position, that personal best deadlifth surely if makes him feel pretty good about
things at the moment it shows he's in great shape anyway misuses to have his head forward
no never sure about that take tecniq the beans it's all the harder to get the air in hips forward
head up, probably sees you off a little bit better in terms of breathing now then is it
the halfway point towards Licis is time, remember we still have Mark Felix to come so the world
record holder is yet to show what he can do, this Wendy crowd getting behind but no
39 seconds perhaps ¡yes! 39,75 big hands really do help stronger hands help even more though
just tore out the end it's inevitable though sometimes watching Mark Félix
it doesn't feel that inevitable the great Mark Félix here he is
works as a plasterer during the week hard hard man Félix 53 years old
what can the middle-aged man do here Wembley Arena sits back and watches everybody knows
he is the world-record holder, he is the best of this 50.9 for basically 51 seconds to beat Licis
and the rest of the world, 60 seconds would just be purely for pleasure, he wants the big
world record bonus he needs 83 seconds really, one minute 23 will see him get that record for sure
then he goes for a really wide feet Felix those massive hands barely fitting in the d-rings
now getting behind him really getting behind it they appreciate what they're seeing a master at
his trade might Mark Felix the miracle man Mark Felix now can he do this at 53 it's extraordinary
they're up on their feet now ten seconds to go to break his record, everybody wants
to see Felix do it, Felix wants to see, Felix do it I think he's just about going to do it
¡yes he has! I believe those pillars hit the ground at one minute, twenty, three, point six,
two, eighty, three point, six, two seconds Mark Felix extends his own world record
¡Wow! what a sight seven and a half thousand people bow down to the power of Félix, Mark Félix the
ovation here was absolutely incredible ¿how are you feeling? I was looking forward today event you know
he's just you know just the focus and I know then I get it, you take everything in your stride but
it wasn't just the crowd that were behind you it was all the strongmen as well they decided
they wanted you to go last so you had the best chance back world record did you think you were
gonna get it ¡yeah! no feeling I would I get it that means training very hard you know so I was looking
for T so a lot of people look up at their time and assess where they're at you don't do that you look
down you dig deep and then you look up ¿how did you feel when you opened your eyes and so all the time?
well obviously focus the other take your mind off everything you just have to focus on breathing and
that's what I did today as well I wasn't looking at time I wasn't real intention to record anything
like that with this defocus well more massive massive congratulations we've just seen strongman
history right here in Giants live Wembley and it's an absolute pleasure to watch that, thank you thank
you, a very understated humble man Mark Felix but he's done nothing humble there he's blown the rest
of the field out the water and taken his own world record Licis was second Kieliszkowski was third
Kieliszkowski then as the lead by a little bit more over Pritchett, Shivlyakov is in third
