let's join Colin Bryce again who's with Robert Oberst
The frame carry - a big 800-pound piece of wood about 380 kilograms has to be picked up
and the balance is one of the tricky things, never mind the grip, straps are not allowed
You then run down, 15 metres there and back another 15 metres 60 seconds to complete the course
You can drop it as many times as you like, but it's not advisable. Robert its not advisable if you want to
do well in this event, you better do it all in one motion, so be quick
Be quick indeed. Well Thompson tries, he couldn't shift it. Savatinov has suffered severe abdominal cramps
He looks like he's having fun there but I assure you he is not, he did at least get off the
starting block 5.20 meters, double D managed the whole thing in 42.43sec
seconds so as Oberst says in one movement be quick be fast rich it wants to do now
very good grip and the balance is key here he's got to keep it level hey he's tall as well that
helps turn it up again it's real determination yeah it was leaning forward but he nailed it
he managed to hold it and control it fifteen fifteen point zero two seconds
that was extraordinary as he picked up on the turn it started to dip forward but it's
for our power managed to twist it up great stuff so Carradine now on the rights from
American powerlifting champ up against Robert Oberst that see if he follows his own advice
balance is key yeah one goes forward one goes backwards it's just worse come forward he's
concentrating too much on that one bit of advice he had he forgot about the balancing
bit hasn't quite got it right but he's tall enough to get away with it at six eight the
height here really coming into its own he's just taking his time or is he Carradine looking at his
hands so he's giving out I've got no more skin not a sentence you really ever want
to say Carradine also thing suffering yeah well I don't think you could really pick it
up on though that didn't help his cause and then out that'll take a few weeks to heal
disgusting and his here's where it really went wrong for Oberst yep the initial pick up his
hands with too far forward the balance was all wrong Carradine his hands were
too far back they didn't do a practice pick up they paid the price let's see
if Mark felix has been there learning from that he is up against Nick best
and they're off bad start from Felix much more confident from Nick best powering through absolute
shocker the best taking his time here but he better be careful discipline Felix turns it
on he could turn it on and it's a terrible error there by best he digs into the sand
and he's digging in and Mark is more or less dragging it but he gets to the end
twenty three point oh nine seconds where is best is there victory to the tortoise
has he given up still got 25 seconds I'd be surprised he's probably taking skin off his
hand as well but Nick best is not the kind of guy to give up and he does it forty three
point six three seconds but looking appears to be suffering yeah finishes it but at what cost
Felix impressive as ever what a battler elders nerve took the wind out the two
of them best though you do have to be impressed by this man never gives up
