of his Yarno Cursler on the left has had a pretty quiet day really, perhaps just a touch out of his
League at the moment as finland's number three athlete well they were both off and away at
similar times there so probably take exactly the same start time, we do have two referees
one for each to make sure there's no cheating at the beginning, now you can't bend the elbows
gotta keep those straight can't raise it too high up or ¡uh! again that's just making it a
little bit easier again leaning back as another little cheat, the referees are watching out for
the big cheak his own for Cusler and at the 42nd mark
he's starting to go he's gone, Frampton, stoic, holding firm
50 seconds this is brilliant from The Pompey man
¡Oh! Lining back now he's got called for it and when he went forward he had to go 58.12 seconds that
certainly puts him into the lead and that may well be a winner around about the minute is very good
with this weight Blekaitis I bet he's tremendous at this those chunky shoulders and short arms
Agris Kazelniks, well he's a much taller longer armed athlete than
the likes of Blekaitis in theory that should be making it more difficult
well you've just got to get yourself in the zone
just diging, find a happy place as they say whatever you do don't think about what
you're doing there's more stare who's keeping his eye on Blekaitis
let's try just to lean back a little bit whatever you can get away with you will do
of course, lean back too much and you're in trouble and look who's gone Kazelnics just
got attacked by the shakes there coming up to 50 seconds 58 to beat Frampton let's remember
holding this firm this is great couple more seconds and he's done
¡oh! new leader then is Blekaitis of Lithuania well past the minute mark
and the crowd are getting into this this is tremendous stuff ¡oh! he goes at 69 seconds
in the end the referees were shouting at him to lean forward
one pair to go it's Wildauer of Austria who has just confessed to us he's not the best and Heinla
of Estonia who's just a pit bull of an athlete and I imagine we'll be digging in hard here
well it's Heinla up first I'm sure the referees will have clocked that properly
it's already a bit of a shake on Wildauer
he's our leader overall in the tournament with after this there'll just be one event
to go so Wildauer must try and hang in here as long as possible at least get maybe fourth or
fifth place that would be good if he drops it now it'll be lost and a real disaster for him
he's getting shouted out by the refs don't start to lean back he's got to
keep his head up 42, 43 seconds ¡oh! Wildauer just starting to creep
back now there you go heads back up again doesn't want to get in trouble
well this is amazing he's gonna come up past Frampton but both men chasing him
in it and in the end he beats Heinla well I did not expect that from Martin Wildauer
he does not beat Frampton actually but that's good enough for third
so Wildauer in third Frampton second Blekaitis in first and that's a real face saver for Rob
Frampton with one event to go. Blekaitis equal on points now Wildauer now what a finish we've
got here and Heinla, Kaselniks are close to good battle for third.
Final event here in Finland and what a brutal event it is as well
it's the medley you have to pick these 120 kilo boxes up and load
them up there onto the four foot platform they weigh 120 kilos then run and pick up a sack 90
kilos again up there then 100 then 110 then 120 kilo sack to finish we're giving them 90 seconds
and hopefully someone will do it well between these two they're equal in first place both on
42 points now Martin ¿can you win this? the old guy against the young wild Allah yes I will win there
you go well old guy ¿can you win this? ¡yeah! ¡yeah! I wear a stronger this event and I think can't win
I see what happens what a way to finish couldn't get any harder
so Rob Frampton is out a little text home to say it's all gone wrong honey
Rauno Heinla against Kazelniks now this is absolutely the battle for a World's Strongest Man place
Rauno just has to stay ahead of Kazelniks here and he will be going to the World's Strongest Man
contest in West Virginia later in the year and he's doing exactly what he needs to do look at
this he is just a brilliant all-rounder but look at the medley I bet this is the top time at the
end of today so quick Heinla and Kazelniks the giant power lifter is starting to grind to a halt
Heinla on the last sack then look at this the Sprint home so much faster then Kazelniks and
the time 39,04 seconds he's booked his place to the World Strongest man what a first debut at
Giants live for Rauno Heinla and he stays on to ¡uh! politely support his friend Kazelniks
now we've had some great estonians in the past Tarmo Mitt, but that's it for the Latvian
three sacks is it no time for him, totally exhausted just not the right body shape really
for ¡uh! sprinting in the hot sun Martin Wildauer then up against Vidas Blekaitis the youngster against
'¡uh! the old Veteran War Horse in Blekaitis so Blekaitis on the right Wildauer on the
left and his Blekaitis away first whoever wins wins the competition it's as simple as that
Blekaitis he's just unbelievable but what happened there he fluffed up the pickup I said he
gets nervous he often makes mistakes and he's just done a whopper there
Wildauer then on to the last sack as Blekaitis loads the penultimate one
for the victory he's done it Martin Wildauer of Austria has won the Giants live here in Finland
and it's been a long long time since we've seen an Austrian winning a major International strongman
contest and at 23 he has a huge few future in front of him well done of Blekaitis at 39 in second
place he qualifies for the World's Strongest Man, well let's have a look at the confirmation
of times, Wildauer by a second ahead of Tommy Lotta who put in a good performance at the end
Heinla in third I thought it might have been better than Blekaitis down in fourth overall
then by three points so Vidas Blekaitis, Heinla guarantees himself third Kazelniks sadly fourth
Martin congratulations ¡uh! first ever International win you're going to World's Strongest Man in the
works ¡congratulations! it must just feel amazing ¡yeah! it's it's really amazing it's you know when
you have a dream and a dream comes through, pretty, pretty awesome just awesome I've been speaking to
you before the show you said top five is, is really your goal I mean you've had injury problems and so
many crazy strong guys ¡uh! I, I mean how much have you surprised yourself and and how have you got so
good ¡yeah! I don't know it's a pretty good day and and everything went well so ¡yeah! just a good day
