Looks like he means business now, Bjornsson we understand has pulled out, he's happy with 206
so this is for the win! and the record. First up Terry Holland's managed 160
kilos but not a 180, after him Stoltman also managed 160, who did he go on? not a 180. He didn't care. Mark Felix 160 not 180
Bishop failed of 180 as well, injured is armed
after him, the Georgian Janashia successfully lifted 180, what about 200 though?
No shame with that though. Shahlaei also failed at 200
but Belsak managed it
so, that was round three for Belsak still to go in round three, Eddie hall and after him
Hafthor Bjornsson, he's changed costumes, obviously the new creative director this year
like he-man live for a while, you can have the Skeletor, then look at this 200 kilos.
Let's play of the power belly Danny, leans back and a little stutter on the way up, he
didn't use his legs at all there Eddie hall, gets the down signal good lift. He
means business as well, got that straight up soon as it goes down walked off what's next.
Leans back and presses it up, left arm a little bit slower you had some pains in that shoulder,
Thor now,
so attempting 200 kilos, as his dad there was even taller than Halfthor, he is, he is nearly 7 foot
same as granddad and he's pumping the crowd up, he really does feed off of them. 11,000 here a,
lot are Icelandic. Look at his. Almost six foot nine from a basketball player for Iceland, this is a tall tall man and
this is really a short man's lift, up it goes.
Well, nearly took the whole back wall down there, Godness me.
Now he has time. Danny, is got a minute and wish to lift as long as the referee is happy that this is safe, you let him go and I'm taking second attempt.
Along with a go he says, Magnus ver Magnusson the head referee happy, gives him the nod to go
ahead, how much energy has it taken out of it? will he join Belzak and the Beast? needs to get this and does!
Wow indeed! thumbs up from Magnus ver Magnusson, that is a good lift at 200. Oh
The roar of this crowd, I think everyone thought he was gonna fail it, maybe not even attempted again.
Edison congratulate him there, that is an Icelandic record Colin. It is indeed,
and look at that grounded out, he's so fit Bjornsson! Thanking the Gods there
for that one, he's still in the game. Well exactly, we'll move on to round for now
and it will be, is just being confirmed there 206 kilograms and this will be a new British
record, beating Shahlei's 205 kilos. Only 9 kilos off the world record now, and he had chalk on his
chest, minimal energy...that's good, he's done it. well as a new British record right there 206 kilos for
Eddie hall and he's not going out sharing it with the fans, he wants... he wants the world record I think.
He means business Wow! Look at the way press that off his chest 200, he stalled a bit halfway up, not
a bit of it there, keep himself cool. Belsak has passed a 206, that's important to note here, whether he's going to come out for
anything heavier we don't know. Bjornsson though to extend his Icelandic record. And he knows he's up
against it, he knows Eddie Hall never shied away from it.
He doesn't have that much rest time either, two attempts just a couple of minutes ago, surely not. Takes it for a walk that's! it Magnus Ver Magnusson
says yes, 206 kilos...can't believe it! I really can't believe it! The hug from the ref. That was a good
rep! you can't say that was an Icelander giving a another Icelander a soft rep. He made it him warm all the way to the back of the platform and hold it.
Well, where do you go from here? It's go to be the new world record.
Well, Belsak managed 200 sat out 206 on his back, with an attempt at the world-record.
It's a risk, big big risk yes, but I don't think he's going for the overall European title in his head.
He wants a crack at the world record here. One kilo if he does it.
Struggling to get it onto the belly, boosting energy all the time but he's a tough tough guy,
he's had more rest than the others, just can't do it. For a noble attempt at taking Savickas' world
record of 215 kilos. Big Z's record still safe. Now Eddie Hall to come though, it just took him too
long there Danny, too long to get it up and the energy went. You said that before...and he tried hard.
Eddie now face of focus, now what's your money on yes or no Danny a world record? it could be a turning point in
the whole contest, well he's meant business all day. He looks like he means business now.
Bjornsson, we understand has pulled out he's happy with 206 so this is for the win and the record!
And there it is! another world record for Eddie The Beast. He is done it! I don't believe it! it's so easy
Eleven thousand people on their feet!
look like you had more left in the tank? for sure man that, I'm not done yet there's
a lot more events to go, but one thing I will say, don't ever ever put a limit on what
I can do! Because I will prove you wrong every single time. Wow! why should he be
modest? The things he's achieving at another world record, for Britain's. Eddie Hall, four
more events to go and you just have to wonder, what else is this man gonna do?
Another world record in Leeds for Eddie Hall, it's becoming something of a habit. Bjornsson backs up his bus pull
win with a second place while Belsak of Slovenia takes an impressive third.
