But I tell you this is a massive target even for a World Record holder
and the European champion as well, he goes next. Tremendous weigthlifting competition.
¡oh! it's just off the floor! Straining every muscle fibre of his body,
That comes back and forth, he knows it, and so do they. A real phenomenal this man from South Africa.
More ten kilos.
and he's getting off the ground, it's over the knees..
can he locked it out?
¡yes! the referee gives it!
A chance for Terry Hollands to stay on march, he's tied in fourth place after
three events, that's a good start to World Strongest Man final for Terry.
It has been raining very hard, this would be for a new World Record, Colin.
435 kilos ¡wow! and surely there is more to come. Savickas may have started his favourite,
but he's yet to prove himself also trying to equal that World Record now and the champion makes good,
made it look easy in the end 435 kilos, my goodness! well you get the distinct impression.
that there's only one man, the crowd want to win this, and he's on the platform now. Can I just say
Paul, if he wants to be world's Strongest Man, you've got to have a massive deadlift.
He's got to pull it further than anybody else, using his back far more than his legs
on that last bit of the lift. ¡wow! he too goes over that World Record figure of 430 kilos.
He's approached weights of varying sizes and shapes for new World Records in the past,
and he's created over 30 Strongman World Records, this could be another one, but again
I would say more importantly, it would be maximum points at the end of the day.
he's got to keep pulling, he's got it above the knees,
He needs to lock out ¡oh my goodness! that is the sign of a real champion.
So two men left in the competition at new World Record figures, there's the second Savickas waiting
patiently. 442.5 kilograms, 400 kilograms is 880 pounds, so this is getting close to the magic 1000 pound barrier.
Brian Shaw though just lifting in basketball boots. Is he going to get it? He's
got to get it at full arms length with straight legs and he's got it! That is magnificent! The
first time that's ever been achieved in World's Strongest Man and Savickas has to follow that
That's a huge moment right there, Brian Shaw's just snatched away Savickas's
World Record in the deadlift, may be the most important record of them all. And this to maintain
the pressure on Brian Shaw.. oh! he couldn't quite do it and that is amazing, Brian Shaw has beaten
Savickas and extends his lead over everybody. What a finish we're gonna have! I have to say Paul that
is the first time I have ever seen Savickas fail a deadlift. What a moment for Brian Shaw!
He did 445 kilograms for a new Strongman World Record earlier in the year to extend his own
record. That was indoors in Melbourne, here he is outdoors in Leeds and he's going to do it, isn't he?
He locks it out! 446 kilos, a new Strongman Deadlift World Record! 461 kilos for Benny Magnusson and this
will be if he makes it, an all-time record in any lifting discipline for weight on the floor.
Yeahhh!!!!!
C'mon Benny, the greater lift ever in history!
Congratulations!
Can you speak to us and give us a little insight on how does it feel to get that record?
What do you say?
hahahahaha
We can interview him in a minute.
Enormous efforts from Eddie Hall.
Seven thousand voices winning him on.
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie
Eddie Hall just goes to his knees, can he lock it out?
C'mon Eddie, it's there! You made it!
Magnus Ver had to call it, he was strict.
but when you drop the bar, that's the rules. It's pretty tough but
and what the referee says, goes. Just gotta follow the rules.
¡Hmm! a World Record deadlift
in front of Arnold Schwarzenegger was, it was you know it's pretty, pretty special. The adrenaline I
got from that was just absolutely amazing, the big 500 will happen one day, in fact I promise.
Eddie "the Beast" Hall
[screaming crowd]
Eddie Hall, you are still the World Record Holder.
Still warming up.
World Record, he owns this weight owns the weight! ¡ooohhhh yeah! wow
Here we comes.
We'll talk about how you can do extraordinary things in exceptional circumstances and
he's gone into berserker mode here, four six five to equal it.
He's done it! Magnusson equals the World Record, that's three
World Records in what, 10 minutes something like that
what's gonna happen now, we're gonna quickly have a word with the three men who made it,
and the rules were we're gonna go to 500 kilograms if we felt and one of them could make it
and the rest of the strength sport world watch on, as Eddie Hall prepares for the half tonne attempt!
On the way we go!!!!
Ladies and Gentleman...Yeah!! Eddie Hall lifted a half tonne
500 kilograms is off the floor, 500 kilograms has been done!!!
you
