¡Oleksii Novikov! we know that Graham Hicks is massively strong in all the static events
and he starts so well Hicks ¡oh! metronome from Hicks this is solid there's three
he's acting like a machine deal incredible a hydraulic lift, a bulldozer, a backhoe, a caterpillar
amazing leg drive a lot like Eddie Hall, rock strong effort Oleksiii Novikov plodding along
on the opposite side just trying to rack up the numbers, that's the down signal there from Terry
Hollands and Hicks is just getting some breaths in and he's on seven reps as it is right now, come on

well that's a phenomenal effort and both men went to the edge on that one
Hickzy goes to war the deadlift and Hicks wins, 360 kilos you just toyed with it at first
it never really pushed you around until the last rep take us through that set, it was easy
I just like the way you think two events left you set a great Mark
do you think that's tough enough the other guys won't beat it
there's still some good guys I'm just here to make sure they work hard if they're a winning event
you're a good man Graham Hicks thanks for your attitude your championship qualities and what
you share with others by example thanks buddy, Graham Hicks ladies and gentlemen

Toots heavily taped up strapping on to the bar now, the battle of Estonia we've
seen it already tonight on the shield carry and we will go again here on the axle dead
number to beat eight repetitions it'll take nine to do that, two of our guys are dead even at six
Toots fights it gets that lift and around on Heinla as we know exceptional deadlift a real pedigree
and he's showing it here Bill Kazmaier rest is key if you want a few more if you're at your limit

round I've got nine repetitions and I'm gonna also check with Darren Sadler ¿Is that the new record?
what was the record there was it eight previously
ladies and gentlemen that is a new record on this equipment for Rauno Heinla
Rauno earlier today in the athlete vip when we were upstairs you
said that your leg had healed up and you were in great condition point
proven ¡yeah! I really don't remember when I lost deadlift for reps and I proved I'm best in this
event, you really did prove that and you looked like there may have been more in the tank you
seem smoother on the last rep than any of the other athletes we saw Hicks come out and he was
impressive were you sort of just timing that did you go to the red line there or was there more
I don't know actually it was heavy but I feel good, ladies and gentlemen what an incredible
performance for Rauno Heinla, nine repetitions no one has matched it to date can we see anyone
