welcome back it's the climax of The 2019 Britain's strongest man with only the Atlas Stones to come
Adam Bishop lies just two and a half points behind leader Graham Hicks, can Hixie hang on
for his first title. I just gotta get myself fired up and do what needs to be done [Music]
in third place currently Scotland`s Tom Stoltman hoping to the
solid it is first ever podium finish the stones then five to be lifted with weights increasing
from 100 to 180 kilos and just 60 seconds to complete them over to Danny and Colin
yes there we are before makeup not really that's Paul Smith managed five stones in 27.37 seconds
and Mark Felix did even better 23.96 seconds worshiped by the crowd for that will this be
his retirement we don't know all I know is this is a very long shot, we move on then to Terry Hollands
up against well just that giant of a man
the first of today's Stoltmans the plural of Stoltman actually is Stolt men do you know that Colin
what's the plural of Holland's then no one knows but ¡here we go! two big men facing off we're off
Terry Holland's that little bit taller Luke Stoltman the power though he has won this
event before and Britain's strongest man as he said and he's looking good here, this is a very
fast performance here from Stoltman 23.96 to beat just struggling now stuck in the way up
there 24 seconds of thereabouts to beat very close ¡wow! look at that ¡yes! 23.43 seconds
half a second or so faster, could have been a second and a half faster of the end that fluffed it
there Big Terry finishes off not too badly either times when the hands come off remember
well here's a battle for the podium Shahlaei currently and third position overall up against the second
of our Stoltman also also third overall what a physique, thank you ¡oh! and Tom Stoltman too
two meters to look at that just tears it off the ground like it's nothing Shahlaei looking
pedestrian next to him 23-43 the time to beat now he's doing no later, this is incredible look at
this from Stoltman absolutely amazing time five Stones 18.03 seconds Shahlaei still a good time
very good side but the Stoltman is 10 seconds slower than Tom Stoltman well he's got to be happy with
that qualifies the World's Strongest Man Of course and takes his place on the podium the first Scott
since 2003 Gregor Edmonds Managed it well he's 24 years old and there hasn't been a Scot he's one
Britain's strongest man in his lifetime Forbes Cowan 95 and he could be the next one Danny
well these two have been battling each other all day
¡yes! Adam Bishop on the left there from Hampshire, Graham Hicks on the right from Lancashire is that for
that two and a half point lead all he's got to do Hixie is beat Mark Felix's time of
about 23.9 seconds and even if Bishop wins, Hicks will win Britain's strongest man [Applause]
a nervous Mrs Hicks and they're off well I expect Bishop to win this he's the taller man he's very
explosive but Hicks he's staying with him for the 1803 is the time to beat even a Bishop Beast that
low Hicks he just has to beat 23-96. he looks like he's gonna do that and he does well Bishop manages
it in 21.46 but Hicks manages 22.58 so he's done enough to become Britain's strongest man
that is one of this for so long, he's just been getting better and better over the past few years
no he's done enough, with the atlas Stones Tom Stoltman stormed ahead 18.03 seconds
Bishop in second and Hicks not getting enough points to secure his position
Adam Bishop yeah I did back him to win today and ¡uh! you know he's had a few slip ups but
again it's what you do on the day so Graham is the winner and well deserved, thank you very much Eddie
and Graham three times on the podium you've now become Britain's strongest man you said you
dreamed of it, you've now achieved your dream ¿how does that feel? it's amazing you know you
know I said I'll say the Colin that 2016 I was injured and I gave up stronger you know I was
six months I didn't train you know I gave it a goal back in 2017 I came third last year I
came second this year barely I came first so from injured to 32nd first it's a good story you know
I never ever dreamed of it so amazing and now you get to do it in front of yourself and your
family, is absolutely my biggest fight I mean he doesn't want cartoons on TV he wants strong man
he loves it so so I'll give it back to my wife, congratulations
