Eddie Hall, deadlift world record of 500 kilos, when it comes to leverage
biomechanics, general massiveness Thor Bjornsson is you man. He played basketball from
Iceland as a junior before, just enjoying the waste food a little too much I think.
Now here we go, all on the right closest to the camera and the fastest side of course,
Bjornsson who is getting ahead here, taking half a tire flip out off Hall so far, now can the Brits catch
this up? this is so good, oh no way! are you kidding me going through the gears there's Bjornsson, I thought
the low squat away of Eddie Hall might just pull this back, with not a chance! 29 06 smoking the
opposition there Bjornsson, wow! that was a Europe Strongest Man performance if ever I've seen one.
Eddie Hall just a little gutted there. Hafthor Bjornsson totally amazing start.
How did it feel to you? it's not a beauty contest, It's a strong man! I don't
care I'm sick, paralysed but I'm pleased I'm here to make a great show for you guys, thank you!
What a line!
Konstantine Janashia
Eddie, The Beast Hall
always surrounded by fans. Straps on, you are allowed straps in strongman. reps to beat seven Mark Felix. And Janashia
who's surprisingly lifting quicker here. But when Hall starts to lift, watch how quick he pulls. Very quick indeed. And Janashia
slower at the top. That is power right there from Eddie Hall, who's of course done five hundred kilos.
This is a percent of his personal best, it's a lot smaller than anyone else as he's equal Felix
thirty Seconds to go, there's eight. How many more? He has Hollands and Bjornsson still to come.
Janashia takes a break. I am sure he is watching the Beast pull another
one, there's 9 reps at 362 and a half. Gosh, can he do a double figures?
You don't see the Beast fail a rep often but that took it out of him, that
was hard, hard work. Janashia: six reps very impressive still, just behind Felix.
But this man, Eddie Hall had to work for that ten, ten and eight hundred pounds.
Eddie, ten repetitions this was a do or die situation for you, ten reps is that beatable
or is that the win? that's the win. that's the win. Eddie you look like you're suffering from the pace
of the event as so many of these athletes are, how much more of you left in the tank? oh well
not much but all the athletes are the same and we're all dropping like flies behind the scenes,
but uh they're two more events to go, I'm going for it, baby go for it. Ladies and gentlemen, Eddie the Beast Hall
He is looking in pretty good shape Eddie Hall there, he caught his breath back pretty quickly. The final pairing, Hafthor Bjornsson who leads the competition
Terry Hollands who has definitely found his mojo again. Look at this, what a scene! The sea of people! Two of the most powerful men on
the planet, Bjornsson on the Left, Holland's on the right to look short at six for six.
Surely neither of these two men so tall get anywhere near 10 reps. That's a ludicrous amount of weight to shift in a minute.
Though Bjornsson is very fit and looking strong, six reps. One more for Bjornsson to equal Felix, that would be key to keeping close
to Hall's points. He's done it. Second equal. The Icelanders behind him shout stop. Quite right. Holland's now on four
yes! well done Terry Hollands. A grinder and deserved it.
A cramp for Terry, he might be getting slimer but he's always cramped a lot in these
one-day shows. Bjornsson second place on his own. Outright, not sharing the points with Felix
and most impressive two such tall, tall men
wow!
Now Hafthor Bjornsson against Eddie Hall, it all comes down to this. Whoever wins the stones is
Europe Strongest Man. Two very different characters in many, many ways. Both, all they want is this title more
than anything else in the world right now. The Beast against the Mountain and it's neck and neck
on the first, the Mountain one motions the second but the Beast does two and the third. It's so tight!
The mountain is quicker on the fourth Hall tries to throw it and Bjornsson does it!! Five stones in
seventeen and a half seconds, that is extraordinary!! Eddie Hall looks slow in 23 seconds which is the
second fastest time and the even had time to sigh, and Hall brilliantly sporting there, I have to say and
Eddie Hall is doing well was showing any disappointment but he has to. But how about the winner, a third title. He is a very impressive man
How does this sound? It sounds amazing, you guys so I want the whole, I would like to thank each and everyone for the
support and I would also like to congratulate all the other competitors, big hands for Eddie Hall
for being a Beast and boosting me through the limits, he is fantastic! Eddie Hall, that's right
What a shout out, what a great man. Hafthor, one question, I want to know can you win World
Strongest Man this year? how certain are you? I've been five years in a row on the podium,
and I've never been more dedicated as I am today. You know I am very happy, Thank you guys. Thank you.
Eddie Hall in Zambia we saw you smash your hand and most guys would quit, go to the hospital you
just went to the next event, you didn't do so well but you fought, and took third place at
World's Strongest Man and we knew you were disappointed even at that performance. How
much preparation have you put in and getting ready for Worlds? Well World Strongest Man is
my target, obviously I wanted to win today, so shame it I didn't win today. Well done to Thor,
fantastic athlete, you know he's got some health issues going on along
with myself so we've both had a tough week to pull this off today and come first and second,
is fantastic. Eddie Hall first, second, third at Worlds doesn't matter. You are a champion!
everybody loves you. Congratulations for a fantastic performance!. Thank you very much. And you also.
Well done Eddie Hall!
Even bigger well done, the biggest man of all, three times Europe's strongest man, the Mighty Thor.
