I've actually never done this before but uh you haven't I haven't done it before ever so i'm just
gonna just just do it as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say just do it is he gonna learn the hard
way or will this be a success for Eddie Hall here we go come on Eddie five seconds to go
oh he's blown it out of the water Lalas leads it 25.1 a little bit of balance problems there 25.1
to beat and he's got it our penultimate event is the overhead pressing medley you start with
this 100 kilo dumbbell lift it to your shoulders press it overhead with one hand on to the next one
and it's the axle it's a railway axle 155 kilos to your shoulders overhead again twice
then you come to this huge metal block 120 kilos that's over 20 stone in weight
to your shoulders press it over ahead again fastest time wins now
Eddie you're known for your shoulder strength but I think this last bit is probably the hardest
isn't it it definitely is after doing a dumbbell and an axle twice and then this massive block of
metal here I mean i've actually never done this before but uh you haven't and I haven't done it
before ever so i'm just gonna just do it as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say just do it
all right well listen, the best of luck nothing like learning on the job
well unfortunately Ireland's finest found it all too much zero reps for Fenelly
Erving Katona he couldn't manage the iron block so three repetitions
in 38.14 Alex Curletto got the lot 70.74 but then Thor Bjornsson set the world to light in 32.14
so a chance now for Eddie Hall UK'S Strongest Man
now is he going to learn the hard way or will this be a success for Eddie Hall
the right arm the mighty right arm drives that 220 pound dumbbell aloft that looked good
what about this one Colin well Eddie he's a very good presser I think his problem is just getting
up to his shoulders if you can get it there then he'll pop that is an ugly technique
yeah it doesn't look very accomplished at this he just trains in a normal gym you know he almost
never does Strong Man training and I think that's a bit of a mistake he he needs to get a bit more
experienced of course he'll pick that up here on the job well that certainly is a disadvantage
away we go that's the first repetition a little bit of a shake over the head there as if to say
i'm not sure about this he really is puffing and blowing a little bit but asking for some more
encouragement from the crowd and i have to say this is a brilliant crowd that's just phenomenal
and everyone's being cheered not just the Brits now can you get it up for the second
time here that's a bit better here we go come on Eddie five seconds to go
just losing balance as we go on he's getting more and more tired
so a screech of agony and frustration from Eddie Hall but he got two lifts
on Shahlaei prowling around in the background
well despite the fact he's uh in third place on his own he still wants big points here
straight up gets the balance and straight on to the axle lift here this is good by Laurence
Shahlaei yeah! he's got to try and do this under 30 seconds all of it if he's gonna mix it for the
big points here we still have Lalas and Savickas to follow him this is good come on Laurence
oh yes now can this block go up this is surely the most difficult thing to lift you've got
nothing really to get your hands wrapped around almost threw it back on his head there
he's outside of the leading time so far but if you can get it it could still be good he's just got
his hands in the wrong position there Colin yeah he's not finding the balance point at all is he
and I think part of this is fatigue he's leaning back an awful long way well he's just taking a
bit of time here but he's got to be careful 75 seconds and we'll have a whistle 15 seconds to go
well he was just asking for clarification from the judge there before he attempted this again
it's a very smooth object as well and that makes it quite slippery ah no surely he's lost it now
so three repetitions the axle went up in 21.8 and that will be his final score
and there's one man who'll be itching to get back on the Strongman circuit Mark Felix who will see
in the last program recovering from injury and he'll be very interested to see how Lalas gets on
here another great Lithuanian exponent of lifting heavy weight that was very impressive oh that was
incredibly impressive and this is quick this is phenomenal how easy he pulls it to his shoulders
and then presses it overhead now he's got to try and beat Radzikovski's time here 28 in a bit
seconds for Radzikovski oh he's blown it out of the water Lalas leads at 25.1 and that is bad news
for everybody it has you just taken the lead there just over 24 seconds do you think that would be
good enough to stay ahead of the going up next no I don't think so he probably the best presser in
the world so compete against him is very hard how come as Lithuanians you have such strong shoulders
there's a tradition there I don't know it's probably just Lithuanian genetics probably you
know well they're serving you really well let's watch on and see how he does thank you very much
so what can Savickas do he's seen a phenomenal performance by Lalas
doesn't seem overly anxious but that was almost a snatching movement getting it
right the way up in one go that is good he's on a par now with Lalas this could be ahead of him
surely he's going to contend for first place again a little bit of balance
problems there 25.1 to beat and he's got it Savickas wins another event
You just snuck ahead there 24.25 seconds I mean you didn't want him beating you did you I,
I need to collect my points in this event I want to go very fast
but I make little small mistakes but still my time was best it was very good it was touch
and go because with the block you did lose your balance a little bit were you worried?
I train a lot block and i hope that i will lift very fast but it was very bad for me
Savickas takes the press medley by almost a second ahead of Lalas, Lauren Shahlaei didn't manage to
do all four and settles for sixth place Ed Hall's lesson on the job earns him just eighth place with
one event to go Savickas on 50 points and can now only be overtaken by his fellow Lithuanian Lalas
for the Europe's Strongest Man title Shahlaei faces a battle with Radzikovski for third after
the break we go to the medley to find out who wins the title and the brand new 4x4 to go with it
oh my god
