Bilton where is he gone down I think he fainted there he looked a little bit
gray before he took off at the start ¿how do we rest? it's a great start here Danny
he's going through the gators, really is, Novikov's flying these are the events
he's just so good at when you're next Novikov everything looks slow
as we rejoin Luke Stoltman, emotionally unreadable, usually that's a criticism but not today up
against Toots, Stoltman really needs a strong performance here, yes indeed he's a very emotional
character normally but he's really trying to channel his focus this is a great start here
Danny, he's going through the gears it really is he's got some speed up already as we approached
ball down he goes back recovers nicely didn't he just goodness reminds me of Hafthor Bjornsson
who made all kinds of ¡uh! errors when he was doing the car walk a few years ago in the lead
he lost it to Lawrence in the end so he manages to avoid disaster there Luke and big Toots powers it
over in 25 seconds of thereabouts such a fast time though from Luke Stoltman just over 13
seconds this was the moment he thought he might be in trouble won the stage there it was looking like
disaster that was an unbelievable recovery mate, yeah, I had to kind of pull it apart from the brink
¡um! it was good you know it's probably the fastest I've done that, that's all I can ask
for myself ¡um! see how it stands in the day we've got stones to finish up on buzzing for that yeah,
yeah I'm just gonna have some fun on this last event and see what happens I'm just gonna go
feel berserk more than them so yeah, my baby brother Tom's not so much he'll be watching
you that's for sure, good luck baby, thank you thank you [Music] Gavin Bilton next
third of course Pa O'dwyer has been doing very well
strong performance here from him could put him in striking range of the podium
look at the size of big Gav that VW Beetle is swallowed up by his Mass but it's the the smaller
man who gets away quickly here Pa O`Dwyer having a great night really is got the rhythm he's got
the speed [Applause] and he's over the line he certainly is Bilton where is he gone down
goodness I think he fainted there he looked a little bit gray before he took off at the
start and yeah, he's ¡uh! that's how do we rest not doing so well Gav but he's up thank goodness
I think it might just be time to call it a night there, very upset you know he's one Whales
Strongest man last week he's been in contest after contest he just can't win it all and he's ¡uh!
it's fairly inexperienced still Gav sure we'll see a lot more from him but not tonight
and it does look like he'll be out of Europe's Strongest man now
medical team taking him out the back where he will sadly be put down, for a sleep kids
for a sleep, so Lalas taking on Novikov in the Car Walk, he'll be taking one Strong man down
Novikov got his serious face on but Lalas we've seen how quick he
is in these kind of events that's whether he can handle the weight
13.59 Luke still the man to beat and ¡uh! despite twisting as he goes up Novikov's flying
well these are the events he's just so good at just powering through with immense speed I
I think Lalas maybe just a little unpractice there or maybe it's just a sheer strength thing Novikov
is so powerful but Lalas couldn't bring his speed in but 11.19 there's your leader right there
16.79 for Lalas the great time to leave when you're next to Novikov everything looks slowly
does drag race with him difficult Hicks he's going a little early or is he just warming up
just warming up the man in second absolutely he needs to beat Luke's time if he does he will be
in the overall lead with just one event to go so flashes on him and of course Heinla
will be looking to stop him it's got a good track record here at Europe's strongest man Hixxy was third
in 2014 fourth last year ¡oh! this is a slow start though cumbersome even finalists not exactly ¡uh!
high-speed stuff either, no I'm steady really from both men Heinla really struggling now the
cast down a low flying to Hixxi between these two he's twisting and those tires are bumping
he's somehow bullied over the line in 22, 23 seconds maybe and I just wonder where the Hixxi
that torn bicep the World's Strongest Man a year ago where he had to have an operation in a
similar event just haunts him, brave attempt from both, Heinla and Hicks [Applause] no one, all drive Novikov
yeah that was ¡uh! Furious maybe not fast and furious
going offline didn't impressive he managed to keep it going though so the car walk proves a
big reverse for Graham Hicks Luke Stoltman stuck in second while Oleksii Novikov slips into first
and that means that we're just one event to go it's Novikov who is now Luke's big rival only
two and a half points between the two men Hicks only half a bone ahead of Marius Lalas with
Heinla and O'Dwyer also within striking range of the podium, Ratzy is with the car walk winner now
Oleksii this evening started with you being one of three people to successfully press the
log and you've just stayed in it all the way through how do you assess your performance
¡uuhh! it's my job, I work in this Sports I love the sports in my playground and
I feel very good here and I'm around with my friend so I enjoy my life that's why not
it's not too heavy for me for mental it's like like the best holiday yeah,
it's been some holiday watching you that car walk has put you right in contention you're
now in the top two it's a pleasure talking to you thank you very much for your time and I
know they might be friends it's now time for the official Oleksii, Stoltman Showdown
