at 200 kilograms Shahlaei, Matiasz Belsak, Eddie "the Beast" Hall
and Hafthor Bjornsson,
Well here is the Europes Strongest Man 2016 - the reigning champion.
Not so hot in truck pull earlier.
What is his static power like?
440 pounds - weighs more than Bjornsen overhead, He looks a little dizzy you know
that's it - he's had to bow out - he'll be bitterly disappointed with that
Mathias Belsak from Ljubljana in Slovenia is so deceptive, so explosive an
athlete, you've seen it before. 200kg on to the power belly and up to the chest
will he be the first to go clear? Listen to the crowd if he does it ooooh
a bit of a wobble on there
yes was more of an old-fashioned press where.
shoes impressive you like where you lead back it is bench it up with all the more
impressive.. Yes indeed. How far can he go, at least 10 or 15 more
I think, and the World Record is indeed 215 kilos - done by Zydrunas Savickas.
who is in the crowd watching - will his record one under threat. Eddie The Beast with perhaps the best
shoulders of all if Zydrunas isn't here.
Easy to the chest and Well, no legs at all. Im not sure that's the most sensible
He got stuck halfway up - his right arm popped up then left
that's quite quite legal.
This isn't a clean-and-jerk style competition like the Olympics, and the Icelanders
are in good form. Certainly put a show on with the drums. Cant hear you says Thor
British crowd have certainly taken to him. 2 x Europe's Strongest Man, But doesn't have that title at the moment,
Never won Worlds strongest man either- some would say he is the strongest man never to have won.
200 kilos -to hit it over head and join Belszak, but
ooh my goodness me!
Nearly took the whole back drop down. And NO down signal from the
Head Referee.
Time is on his side and he has 1 minute to get it up.
But if the ref thinks you're attempting something dangerous then he can stop you.
Its Magnus ver Magnusson of Iceland, but considered to be the best
referee of the world.
He's not exactly one to give away freebies. So Thor had best lock this out.
Yes he does.
Bjornsson also goes clear, so three men clear at
200 kilograms, wow!
Look at the power and when he hits it and hits it right it was perhaps
the cleanest of all his lfts.
So, 206 kilos is what is called for next. And it looks like Belsak has skipped.
He is either playing games or he might be out?! Or he's going on for something heavier.
Hall playing sensible Possess some pain and his left shoulder
Its been MRI'd and its scar tissue. But you couldn't tell there
That was easy enough! Goodness me 206kg for the British record is Eddie Halls
To the chest and that was a lot easier looking than 200kg.
Eddie keeping cool out the back, There is Thora Dad who is also near 7 foot tall.
He is in first place after that Bus Pull win the car park earlier. Now his mighty mitts lock on.
He spent a lot of energy on the previous lift
To his chest
leans back, gets his body into it, oh my goodness!!! Well-well-well an Icelandic
Record Hafthor Julius 206kg. Well over 450 pounds.
Thats a very impressive clean-and-jerk if you know your olympic weightlifting
Bullied it up in the end. What - 216 kilos ? it is the World Record that has been called for by Belsak
he gets a friendly slap of the Georgian his competitor Janashia there.
So we have three men who could pull this - And this has got very exciting very quickly.
He's the shortest of the three which probably helps, and he's not done 206 kilos.
He's had a long rest - come on Matjaz
By a whisker couldn't get it to his chest
If he got it there he would have almost certainly have pressed it
now then Eddie Hall comes on after this.
Just too long in his chest and couldn't breathe
but when he finally almost almost got it there nothing inside his lungs to do it with
The Beast! He is no stranger to world records but even for him
this is a big jump. 10 kilos after just going up by 6 kilos previously.
He did the Half ton deadlift here a year ago - he can do the impossible.
He's showed he's got a strongest back in the world,
how about a strongest shoulders?
You bet he does!
Oh my goodness me..
Ha! they're on their feet over 11,000 fans and he delivers
MC: the arena's full and you are full of rage, and that looked like you had more left in the tank?
Ed: For sure man
I'm not done yet, and there's a lot more events to go yet. But one thing I have to say...
Don't ever ever put a limit on what I can do, cuz I will
prove you wrong every single time!
well we've seen yet another World Record by Eddie Hall and this time it comes from his
upper body, as strong as his lower.
