00:00Birmingham on a good day and there's no better day than when Giants Live is in town with the
00:26strongman open featuring the world deadlift championship and when one very special athlete
00:31is making his return.
00:37I miss the sport.
00:41If I would not come back, I might regret for the rest of my life.
00:53I don't want to live with regrets, you know.
00:56I want to live my life to the fullest.
01:11I love being the best, you know, that's inspiring me to keep going and I want to prove to the
01:17people, to the world that, you know, I can come back after such a long time and still
01:22be one of the best guys out there.
01:24You know, I have won everything there is to win in strongman and, you know, I realized
01:32the world records are something that's going to live there forever until they're broken and
01:39people are going to remember those world records, these big moments.
01:43I am very confident in my ability to break my own deadlift world record and pull 510 kilograms
01:51and that's what I'm going to do.
01:53But the goal is not done there.
02:01I'm here also to win the whole show.
02:02So I have five more events left after the deadlift and I'll be fully satisfied if I win the
02:09whole show and I truly believe I can.
02:10What a time to be a strongman fan.
02:24Hapthor Julius Bjornsson looking preposterously enormous.
02:30That isn't the world record.
02:32The question is, in a few moments time, will he manage to pull 510 kilograms?
02:37The lads here, they're getting ready to go outside there.
02:39So much to talk about.
02:40Matt Raggin in the back, can he break a national record?
02:43Gavin Bilton as well.
02:44And what about the man holding a t-shirt from Mexico, Raul?
02:48So much that we don't know about him, but we do know one thing.
02:52He's going to give this absolutely everything.
02:54And, fingers crossed, history, once again, will be made at Giants Live.
02:59It's time to meet the athletes.
03:01Hey!
03:02Hey!
03:03Well, thanks, Ratty.
03:08And, yes, let's begin.
03:10Let's meet our athletes.
03:12We saw him a few moments ago here for the deadlift only from Mexico.
03:18Oh, 480 kilos recently for a new American record.
03:21It's Flores.
03:22Representing America, 6'6", in his socks, or out of them.
03:28Former NFL player with the Dallas Cowboys, Bryce Johnson.
03:33From Canada, Tristan Horrath.
03:35He's a police officer from Edmonton.
03:38Came fifth at World's Strongest last year.
03:40Here's a friendly fella from Australia.
03:43Two-time Australia's Strongest Man, the singing strongman, Eddie Williams.
03:48This guy made the World's Strongest Man Grand Final last year.
03:54It is the Kiwi, Matt Rack.
03:57Then, always the athlete from Mexico.
03:58They call him Smash.
03:59It's Austin Andrade.
04:00A real veteran now.
04:0343 years old, competing in deadlift only tonight.
04:07It is Rauno Heinle.
04:13Six-time New Zealand's Strongest Man.
04:16Placed fourth at the World's Strongest Man Grand Final last year.
04:19It is the Kiwi, Matt Rack.
04:23Then, always a fan favorite.
04:25Two-time Britain's Strongest Man runner-up, Gavin Bilton.
04:30Another stalwart of the British scene.
04:37A member of the prestigious £1,000 Club.
04:40It's Adam Bishop.
04:41That's what he can lift, not what he weighs.
04:48Yet another familiar face.
04:50Two-time Europe's Strongest Man.
04:52Reigning Britain's Strongest Man.
04:54His shoulders arguably the strongest on the planet.
04:57It's Luke Stoltman.
05:03Now, this man's star is rising and rising fast.
05:072025's England's Strongest Man, Paddy Haynes.
05:14From the USA, the always intense, always elegant T-Rex.
05:19On the Strongman Classic in London, it's Evan Singleton.
05:27And look who's back.
05:32Returning to Giants Live for the first time since 2019.
05:36All six-foot-nine of Hafthor, Julius Bjornsson.
05:42Five-time Europe's Strongest Man.
05:442018 World's Strongest Man.
05:47What could he do tonight?
05:51So, there you go.
05:52I hope that's all right for you.
05:53As we move into the deadlift, Colin Bryce.
05:59Yes, indeed.
06:00This is max deadlift.
06:01We start at 400 kilos.
06:03Who knows where we finish?
06:04The world record, 505 kilos, held by Hafthor Julius Bjornsson.
06:09This is what's happened so far, round two.
06:11The men at 420 kilos.
06:13All of them going clear, except Luke Stoltman down the bottom there.
06:17Bjornsson and Singleton still to come.
06:19He's set correctly for the Ricks.
06:23Well, it's going to be Hafthor.
06:25Julius Bjornsson.
06:28The mountain.
06:29Up against America's Evan Singleton.
06:34Well, I thought perhaps one of them would pass this, because you're allowed to pass.
06:37But, uh, both of them getting the lift in.
06:41420 kilos.
06:42I mean, Bjornsson, it's not that long ago, less than a month, since he's broken the world record.
06:48Singleton doesn't wade around.
06:50There's two platforms going at the moment.
06:52And, no, Magnus Fair Magnussen says you didn't hold it at the top.
06:58And that's not good.
07:00Well, something's happened here with Singleton.
07:04Bjornsson makes it look like nothing.
07:06Absolutely nothing.
07:09He definitely didn't hold it long enough, Singleton.
07:11He's going to give it another go.
07:15His personal best, a thousand pounds, 453 kilos.
07:18This should be pretty easy.
07:20But something has gone wrong.
07:21You can see that.
07:22Yes.
07:24Something around the left knee.
07:25Well, we'll keep you up to date with Singleton.
07:31He's got to be one of the favorites for tonight's show, along with Bjornsson, of course.
07:35And even this man, Paddy Haynes, he is a great deadlifter.
07:40Let's take another look at what Singleton did there.
07:42He didn't lock his hips out, didn't get his hips through.
07:45He thought he got the down signal, hence the rather unhappy look.
07:52Hey, keep Britain tidy.
07:55Some frustration from Singleton.
07:59No kidding.
08:00But no excuse for lettering.
08:02No, there's never an excuse.
08:03You're right there, Danny.
08:05No.
08:05Glad you said it, not me, though.
08:07Here we go.
08:08Our first pair up at 440.
08:11Big Gav Bilton strapping on.
08:13Paddy Haynes on the other side, ready to pull and he can go in every once.
08:16Well, Paddy Haynes continues an amazing run he's been having of late.
08:27Oh, this will be something else as well if Big Gav got it.
08:30And he does.
08:31That's a Welsh record there for Big Gav Bilton.
08:36Tremendous lifting.
08:39He's pretty happy, too.
08:43Mettering his own record by 15 kilograms.
08:45Well done, Gav.
08:46He's absolutely delighted.
08:48Gavin Bilton, Welsh deadlift record.
08:55Yeah, yeah.
08:56What was that for you, mate?
08:57Oh, it was easy.
08:58I could do it again if I wanted to.
09:00I trained hard.
09:01This is a game of nutrition.
09:03Of course, I won £1,000.
09:05440 is a great number.
09:06I bow out.
09:07Let's go and win the rest of the show.
09:09And just very quickly, those are the facts.
09:11What does that one mean to you?
09:12It means a lot.
09:15Like I said, I almost gave this up a couple of weeks ago.
09:18So, yeah, I'm happy to be here.
09:19It means a lot.
09:20It's not just a number on the buy.
09:21It means a lot.
09:23We saw it, mate.
09:23Massive congratulations.
09:24Show ahead.
09:25Thank you very much.
09:25Awesome.
09:27We'll move on to 453 kilos.
09:32And it's Paddy Haynes.
09:35Yes, 453, an unusual number, but it converts to £1,000.
09:39So, these men trying to join the £1,000 club.
09:46Paddy Haynes on the left, looking solid.
09:51He's great at reps.
09:52Can he do this for his match lift?
09:53Yes, he can.
09:54Well, Paddy Haynes, he's in that £1,000 club.
09:59He's looking for his certificate and his membership card now.
10:02Well, this is huge.
10:03Well, this is huge.
10:05Unbelievable.
10:06He's such a talent.
10:07He's had an incredible year.
10:08He's had an incredible year, Paddy Haynes.
10:10Bryce Johnson on the far side.
10:12Just got it to his shins and no more.
10:14But after a couple of pulls, it wasn't perfectly clean.
10:17He managed to get it up.
10:18He managed to get it up.
10:19£1,000.
10:20Paddy Haynes.
10:21You came here for a PB.
10:22You're leaving with £1,000.
10:25Mate, unbelievable.
10:27I'm absolutely lost for words, Radz.
10:30I'm surprised myself there.
10:31Like, that's a 45 kilo PB in less than a year.
10:36I don't care what happens now.
10:39Do you know what I mean?
10:40It's a lifetime goal ticked off.
10:42And I know there's more coming as well.
10:44It's coming on, man.
10:45I'm not the guy that can move anymore.
10:47I'm sort of becoming this rounded athlete,
10:49quite literally at the minute, but it's paid off.
10:52And I couldn't be happier.
10:53Mate, game on for the show.
10:54Game on, boys.
10:56Mass moves mass as ever.
10:58For plenty of deadlift drama to come in Birmingham
11:01as we close in on that world record attempt in the deadlift
11:04with you-know-who on Giants Live.
11:15Well, welcome back to Birmingham and the World Deadlift Championship.
11:26Well, we're going into round number five
11:28and all of the men in the red are out of the competition.
11:32Rag failed for 70 kilos, which is round five.
11:35Flores and Heinle have skipped.
11:37So we have Bishop and Bjornsson still to come.
11:40Only one man has attempted and made it.
11:43Yes, Austin Andrade was successful at 470.
11:47After a little lie down, decided to call it a day.
11:54So two men to come, Bishop and Bjornsson.
11:57We haven't seen Bjornsson since 420 kilos.
12:00Bishop, of course, pulled the thousand pounds.
12:03So this isn't a huge jump for him,
12:05but it is a very big jump for Bjornsson.
12:09We're down to just one platform now.
12:13Now, this would be a great moment for Adam Bishop.
12:17This would be his personal best.
12:19Bishop, he's lifted this kind of weight on numerous occasions
12:25coming into the world deadlift champs,
12:27but he's often gambled too high.
12:28So he's going to try and consolidate.
12:30Get the 470.
12:31He's done it.
12:32Surely.
12:33And it seemed pretty easy.
12:37There could be more.
12:40There could be more.
12:41Great lift from Adam Bishop.
12:43Just the last couple of inches he struggled,
12:45sunk his hips, drove it through.
12:48Well, he's with his old university mate Radzi now.
12:50Come on.
12:55Come on.
12:58Adam Bishop.
12:59Yeah.
12:59I recall being in Loughborough,
13:01you pulling 300 kilos off the floor
13:03and that was really impressive.
13:05Mate, you've put 170 kilos on that
13:07and made it look smooth.
13:09How was it for you?
13:10I'm also about 50 kilos every in body weight
13:12since those days.
13:12I'd hope so, but it felt really good.
13:14That was the plan going in.
13:15I wanted that 470 pull.
13:17Improvement on where I was, you know, in 2021.
13:20And it moved well.
13:20So, yeah, I'm very happy.
13:21In all seriousness,
13:22the last time I spoke to you,
13:24things were very, very different.
13:25Yeah.
13:25Look at you now.
13:27Exactly.
13:27But, you know, the power just gave me
13:28a little bit more time
13:29so I can get prepared and ready to go.
13:31And yeah, it's, everything's changed.
13:33And just a word for your journey.
13:35So you've tried deadlift before,
13:37ruptured bicep, ruptured tricep, ruptured Achilles.
13:40And here we are in the 470 club.
13:42It's actually unbelievable, mate.
13:43Yeah, man.
13:44I'm very happy.
13:44Obviously, you know, these things can knock you down.
13:46You can't let them keep you down.
13:48And that's the other thing I kind of live to
13:49is always focus on what I can do.
13:51And obviously, for a while,
13:53I couldn't walk around,
13:53but I can still train.
13:55And obviously, I wanted to get back
13:56and pull something big.
13:57And that's what I've done.
13:58Thanks for your time, mate.
14:02Well, amazing work from Adam Bishop.
14:05But now, all thoughts turn to this man,
14:08half-floor Julius Bjornsson.
14:11Well, if we're going to get 510 kilos up today,
14:14that's a 40-kilo jump from this.
14:17So you'd hope this isn't too difficult for Bjornsson.
14:21We'll read a lot into how this goes up.
14:26Good Lord.
14:27Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
14:29Not bad.
14:30Wow.
14:31Not bad at all.
14:33He's the only man that dwarfs this equipment.
14:36Yes, he does, isn't it?
14:38That is a standard bar you would see in any competition.
14:41My goodness me, there was no hits, nothing.
14:45In fact, there wasn't even a scream or a roar.
14:47That was just another day at the office.
14:51We are surely going for the world record now.
14:54Let's have a look.
14:55470 kilos, both Bjornsson and Bishop and Andrade all making that.
15:00Flores and Heinle, of course, have skipped.
15:03And we go to 480 kilos now, where Bjornsson is skipping.
15:08So, uh, two men going for 480 and it'll be the Mexican Flores,
15:13the new all-American record holder.
15:17Well, he did 475 kilos.
15:18So this will be five kilos up on his own all-America's record.
15:24So Flores and Heinle next to go, but Flores first.
15:29He doesn't roll it in, which is unusual, but gives it a good hit.
15:39He's got very long arms for his size, that's for sure, but doesn't quite get it.
15:44To be fair, it was only a matter of a couple of weeks ago he did that record.
15:48He's been flown in at the last minute and given it his best.
15:52Still have Heinle though.
15:57And of course, if Bjornsson were to go for the record and fail and Heinle were to pull this,
16:02he'd win the competition.
16:04So much riding on this.
16:07It's all to play for, for Rhyno Heinle.
16:10Looks good off the floor, but he's stuck at the knees.
16:20That took it out of him and then think we'll get much more out of Heinle.
16:24We've seen Heinle too, I like his spangly shoes by the way.
16:28I made those.
16:32Well, he's been there before in this territory.
16:34He's been the Masters World Record holder for some time now.
16:37So it all comes down to one big lift and I'm assuming we're going to go for 5.10 here.
16:43505 kilos done in Germany about a month ago.
16:47And yes, indeed.
16:50Oh, my goodness.
16:51To a world record attempt.
16:55For the mountain himself.
16:58Apthor Julius Bjornsson back after six years.
17:02Yes, indeed, he's been boxing, he's been doing all kinds of different things.
17:08And now he's getting very, very strong again.
17:10Badminton, ping pong, all of them.
17:13You name it, he can do it.
17:14But the lure of the deadlift was too great.
17:18Arguably, the number one lift in all of Strongman, all of strength sports right here.
17:24The deadlift, the king of lifts.
17:27And his chance now, just to take another five kilos away from the rest of the world.
17:34510 kilograms on the bar.
17:39That's over 1,122 pounds.
17:42Feels like he's just supposed to do this.
17:48He turns up, determined.
17:52That's when he's unstoppable.
17:54Can he do 5.10?
17:57Oh, my goodness.
17:58Oh, yes, he can.
18:00That was so easy, Danny.
18:02Rolled it in.
18:03Not a single hitch there.
18:04Nothing.
18:06That just flew up.
18:07How much more is there?
18:09Well, that is a new world record for Iceland's Bjornsson.
18:16Well, he's taking the $100,000 check as well, which is worth roaring about.
18:20Extraordinary.
18:21I don't want to go for that.
18:25You don't know who his dad is.
18:26He's the very tall one there.
18:29Bjorn.
18:30Very tall man indeed.
18:31Great guy.
18:32And congratulations, Hapthor.
18:35510 kilos.
18:36Everyone knows it's now out of sight from the rest of the world.
18:39And if anyone chased him, there's more.
18:44Well, Hapthor Julius Bjornsson takes that world record.
18:48And he's with Radzi right now.
18:52Hapthor, history has been made.
18:54And you made it look extremely easy.
18:56How was it from your end?
18:58It felt extremely good, you know.
19:00I think with the crowd here, dude in this arena helped a lot.
19:06I feed off the crowd.
19:08I get more energy from the crowd.
19:10I love the crowd.
19:12And I came in strong, you know.
19:14I've been training really, really, really hard for this.
19:17Things have gone well in training and I'm the strongest I've ever been.
19:21So I'm really, really happy.
19:23And to do it in front of your family as well.
19:24It means everything.
19:25You know, having them here and hearing my son cheering me on means everything.
19:31And just finally, where does that put in the annals of your greatness?
19:36All the things you've achieved, you've won everything.
19:38Where does that stand?
19:39This has to be, like, up there, you know, like, people love world records.
19:44I love world records, but also love titles, you know.
19:47I won everything there is to win in Strongman when I was active, you know.
19:52And, you know, this has to be up there with all of my big accomplishments.
19:59Just to say, as a Strongman fan, as a fan of strength, to witness greatness like that,
20:03it was a privilege.
20:04So Hapthor, thank you.
20:05Thank you so much, thank you.
20:07The mighty Thor, after so long away from the sport, setting a mighty new world record
20:12and sending a warning to the rest of Strongman.
20:15Joint second behind him, Bishop and Andrade with what, in any other context,
20:19would surely be winning lifts.
20:20On to the next event.
20:22Well, thanks, James.
20:23Yes, the farmers walk up next.
20:26A 150 kilo weight in each hand, like lifting a sumo wrestler in each hand and then having a jog.
20:32Yes, for 30 meters as well.
20:34And it's been done by Luke Stoltman.
20:3614 seconds, he completed it in.
20:38Tristan Howarth, 0.8 of a second behind him.
20:41And Evan Singleton, I'm afraid, is out.
20:43He's withdrawn.
20:45So up next, Eddie Williams and Gavin Bilton.
20:50Chasing down that Stoltman lead and they're off.
20:53This is a very fast start from Eddie Williams.
20:55Look at him go.
20:57Wow, absolutely flying down the course.
21:00He's going to be done any second here.
21:01He's going to go ahead of Stoltman, surely.
21:03Yes, he has.
21:05Well, that's very, very fast indeed from Australia's Williams.
21:08Gavin Bilton, though, struggling once you've let them drop very hard to get going again.
21:14No doubt exhausted from pulling that Welsh record.
21:16440 kilos earlier.
21:18He's digging in deep though.
21:19He's almost to the line.
21:22Come on, Gab, you can do it.
21:23Oh, a little bounce.
21:25Will he get away with it?
21:26I think he does.
21:27Well, 32.69 for Gavin Bilton.
21:31What about this from Eddie Williams?
21:34Tremendous.
21:35Extraordinary.
21:37He's just about as fast laden as unladen.
21:39Amazing.
21:41We move on then.
21:42Bryce Johnson from America.
21:43Britain's Paddy Haynes and Matt Rag.
21:46The Kiwi.
21:49Yes, the big Bryce Johnson on the far side.
21:52Paddy Haynes, who's a tremendous athlete in the center,
21:54but it's Johnson the American
21:56who had great power off the floor, but he's gone down
21:59and now is the turn of the Kiwi.
22:01Can he get to the line first?
22:03Well, it's the tortoise and the hare, isn't it?
22:0514.3 for Matt Rag.
22:09Wow.
22:09Paddy Haynes, slower and steadier in the middle, 18.27.
22:15Bit of a shock there.
22:16I thought Paddy Haynes was going to storm through on that one.
22:18He's got such a good grip,
22:19but those who lifted really heavy in the deadlift
22:22seem to just be hampered a bit here.
22:25Does that mean Bjornsson's going to be very slow?
22:27We'll find out, I guess.
22:30Great stuff from Rag.
22:31A little slower than Stoltman
22:32and Eddie Williams still holds the lead.
22:36Andrade, Bishop and Bjornsson now.
22:40Andrade.
22:43Sapford, Bjornsson closest to camera?
22:46How much is he giving away in the deadlift?
22:48Adam Bishop, looking really good.
22:50Does Bjornsson have a second gear here to try and catch him?
22:54oh it doesn't have to he's gone down Bishop well Bjornsson 15.58 the
23:02only man to just keep hanging on disappointing for Bishop they're coming
23:06in last 19.97 yeah and Olsen Andrade he was close as well but he too went down
23:12so just 18.21 seconds for the Mexican slow and steady was the order there for
23:21Bjornsson and that grip didn't give up that gave him the win in this heat so the
23:31man from down under doing a number on the rest of the field in event two Eddie
23:35Williams the clear winner so close between Luke Stoltman in second though
23:38and fifth place Bryce Johnson Hapthor coming in sixth and that means overall
23:44Thor's lead has narrowed to just half a point now from Matt rag close behind the
23:49Kiwi Austin Andrade and Eddie Williams Bishop Haynes and Stoltman all
23:53needing to make up ground it's been a remarkable evening so far for the
23:59mountain that world record and now sitting on top of his first Giants life
24:04back after six years the rest of the field with a mountain to climb when we
24:08return
24:19welcome back to Birmingham if you're just joining us Thor is back and looking like
24:25he'd never been away the big man setting a deadlift world record earlier
24:29tonight and currently leading in the strongman open can his rivals close the
24:33gap in our next event let's find out with Colin and Danny
24:38well thanks James and yes the sandbag steeplechase Colin yes 250 kilogram sacks
24:44that's at 330 pounds in the hands has to be taken down the course and this is
24:50what's happened so far Matt rag managed to finish all four runs two runs in each
24:55shuttle as it were 42 seconds is the time to beat
24:59well Bilton Haynes and Andrade are next and it's not just a case of lifting carrying
25:06these bags you gotta chuck them over that hurdle as well
25:09yes it's broken down into four segments two for each sack and Paddy Haynes over the
25:15first segment the further you can throw it the better of course for the second
25:18part of it this is very very fast from Paddy Haynes he sold this event at Britain's
25:25strongest man so he knows what it's like it's hard that is the answer nearly
25:29slipping there in his pimpses this is very rare you see a strongman moving as
25:33quickly as Haynes sprinting back but it's worthwhile
25:38just a ferocious athlete he really is 42 seconds is the time to beat 42 and a
25:43half keep your eyes on the clock Paddy Haynes I think is gonna do it and does it
25:47with style Paddy Haynes 38.94 seconds it's Gavin Bilton next to complete
25:56good fitness there for a man who's well over 400 pounds that's not bad at all
26:03now change of technique over here for Andrade doesn't look like he's having fun now I'm not sure
26:13it's the best technique he's starting to run out of time and energy energy so
26:19virtually on zero here he might just give us a little cuddle and that'll be time
26:23up I've never seen a more fed up looking strongman it's just such a big man of
26:31course all of these men bulking up for the deadlift but Paddy Haynes such an
26:36athlete certainly hampered him the least as that was a tremendous time
26:41Bjornsson Johnson and from Canada Hoeth
26:48so referee Darren Sadler gets us underway Hoeth closest to camera he's the
26:55lightest you'd expect him to probably be the quickest at this the cock but Bryce
26:59Johnson at six foot six and Hapthor at six foot nine they certainly don't find the hurdles too
27:04difficult just the the size of Hapthor there and that big stride of his just
27:14chews the ground up and he's looking very fit for a man who's weighing in at
27:18around 200 kilograms in body weight 440 pounds now will he gas out here on this
27:24second sack it must be nice releasing that sandbag but then realizing you have to
27:30pick it up again not so good don't he's gonna beat Paddy Haynes in fact he's gone
27:35behind that but still it looks very solid indeed for Bjornsson this will get a good
27:39points yes solid's the word there 47 and a quarter for Hapthor Bjornsson
27:45Nekka Nekka Race to the finish Canada just ahead of America Hoeth nicked it 56.81 versus 57.76 for Bryce Johnson
27:57I'm not sure that's a face of pleasure but he's digging in he's a fighter Bjornsson
28:05well Hapthor making top Thor in event three but his time beaten by his rival Matt Ragg by Luke
28:13Stoltman and above all by the winner of this event Paddy Haynes Ratsy's with him now
28:18Paddy Haynes you're probably mixing with the big boys here he's one of the strongest men on planet Earth
28:23and you are top three now yes absolutely crazy I've got two damage limitation events that's all
28:28um these front hold I've never done in competition and I've never done the Viking press either so
28:33for me like today it's just case of get out there do the best I can have some fun try some new events
28:38out and power stairs usually quite loyal at the end so hopefully finish on finish on a high and just
28:43finally we talk about secret weapons when it comes to nutrition people might have isotonic drinks they
28:49might think about rice or chicken or broccoli what have you been having I've just munched my second
28:53jam sandwich and I have no regrets jam sandwich for the win so honestly I'm like Paddington Bear on
28:58holiday I'll just keep it super simple hump up the jam Paddy into third after that event win we'll see
29:04if he can preserve that podium place Thor slips into second Matt Ragg takes over on top coming up it's
29:11hammer time well thanks James and yes the hammer hold is next 30 kilos this hammer how long can you hold
29:18it out in front of you 66 pounds and well Eddie Hall has the world record of 65 seconds and this is
29:25what's happened so far Tristan Hoeth has done the longest 39.56 seconds but the man in second there
29:31Ragg from New Zealand 39.12 he leads the competition and once again putting in a very steady performance
29:40two pairs to come so the first pair Hafthor Bjornsson of Iceland and Britain's Luke Stoltman as you said
29:52earlier Luke Stoltman arguably the strongest shoulders in the world but don't tell Hafthor Bjornsson he'll make
29:58him mad because he can just about do anything he really shouldn't be good at this Bjornsson he's got
30:03long long arms and that works against you with biomechanics but he's dug in hard for a little shake
30:10already at 15 seconds this will be interesting well 39.56 to beat and now Luke Stoltman trying to find
30:17his happy place very difficult to find a happy place when you're holding a hammer this heavy
30:21this really is mind over matter and it looks like the matter is winning against Stoltman 37 38 oh he goes
30:31just before Hoeth but what a fight there from Luke Stoltman as Hafthor Bjornsson continues and he's got the
30:39lead that's for sure by some margin now is he gonna make a minute not quite 51 seconds off and that's
30:46absolutely wiped him well 50.78 for Hafthor Bjornsson puts him very comfortably in the lead I think
30:56Darren Sadler was worried he's gonna have to catch him there a strongman feat in himself and that was a
31:03real battle Bjornsson you can see how much this means to him not just the world record and deadlift but to
31:08win overall and that was the second Darren realized he might go over
31:17what did it take out of Hafthor Bjornsson and was it worth it as we move on to our final pair
31:27Williams and Johnson can these guys close the gap to the top position they know what
31:35they have to do now to take the win here this hammer hold 50.78 seconds is what's needed both
31:43tall men both have long arms that works against both of them Eddie Williams looks like a man who's
31:49and he's found his zen at least for the moment Johnson definitely got a bit of a wobble gate you can find
31:58that zen but it tends to disappear very rapidly yes the lactic acid sure does build up in your shoulders
32:06very quickly and there's no way to move it and shake it and get rid of it Williams goes down he was
32:14looking good early around about the time of Hoeth and can Johnson hang on much longer no so it'll be
32:21Johnson will take the win here what a great showing for both Williams and Johnson just as Williams put it
32:31down it was as if Johnson had permission to do the same as you might expect Thor proving unbeatable on
32:41the hammer the icelander lasting more than seven seconds longer than Bryce Johnson the only other
32:46man to make it beyond 40 agonizing seconds backstage has that performance taken its toll on the
32:54icelander returning now from his long absence and taking his time to recover how much does Thor have
33:01left in him for the final two events but now he's moved back into top spot in the strongman open
33:06Matt Ragg just a point and a half behind though with just two and a half points between the next five
33:11men Ratty is with the leader right now so how nuts is it that 510 is easier than front hold you know
33:20what my body is just right right now after the 510 I was in like in the happy place you know we don't
33:26feel anything as I'm just happiness you know so happy with my performance you know but now after
33:30after the time has passed and I've done a few more events my body is just right thanks for your time
33:35mate well Thor's comeback story is not the only tale being told tonight in Birmingham with two
33:41events to go tension is mounting for everyone at the strongman open we're back with more on Giants Live
33:47welcome back to Giants Live in Birmingham it's been an extraordinary night so far here
34:04Hafthor Bjornsson back from retirement breaking the deadlift world record in his first event
34:09now after three more challenges Hafthor is still leading the field at the strongman open
34:18can he hold on and take the title let's find out with Colin and Danny well thanks James yes
34:25six events tonight and after four here's where we are well Hafthor Bjornsson has shifted the paradigm
34:31of what is possible in strongman he's on top with 40 points having also pulled a world record in
34:37deadlift today and now we move on to the Viking press Matt Ragg and others who are the chasing pack
34:43will have to try and get some good reps in here 150 kilos overhead 60 seconds to do as many as possible
34:50well Paddy Haynes went earlier with the likes of Andrade and Stoltman on 10 but Williams sits on top with 13
34:56so we move on to Matt Ragg and Tristan Hoeth these guys second and third in the standings this is an
35:06opportunity perhaps for Ragg to put some serious pressure on Thor if he can get a big enough number
35:11here Jason Hoeth who's just a great all-round competitor attacks this first he's not wasting any of his time
35:18I'm not sure either man will be pressing for 60 seconds that will be impressive if they did and Ragg has
35:25caught him Wolfman have to be careful the handles have to pass your ear that's right have to come
35:33down deep enough and Hoeth's finished on seven Ragg can he get double figures no I think that will be
35:40that for Matt Ragg manages nine
35:47we still have one pair to come in that has Bjornsson in it it'll be fascinating to see if Bjornsson can
35:53again dig deep these two guys did their best but couldn't get past Williams so limited in how many
36:01points they will pull back here Bryce Johnson Hafthor Bjornsson next to go two absolute giants the six
36:12foot six Johnson gets underway very quickly and Bjornsson is the fatigue starting to build now
36:20we pull that world record dead there surely that's taken an enormous amount out of him
36:26Johnson is he almost going too quickly here that's nine that's ten great use of the legs as if he's
36:32shot putting it up exploding with 150 kilos but Bjornsson slow and steady on the other side still
36:39ticking away he's equaled Williams he's gone in the lead Johnson and Bjornsson for double figures does he
36:45lock out yes yes he does but look at this from Johnson a massive 15 reps
36:55oh goodness me one to beat Williams and one just for fun I have to say Bryce Johnson is proving to
37:03be a star in the making Hafthor Bjornsson once again a gritty performance and good points
37:10Bryce what a performance and I guess with your NFL background we should never have doubted it
37:15Viking press has been really good for me in the past I don't know what it is if it's just the leg drive
37:20I get most of my power out of my legs anyway so it was a great event how tough is it to come can
37:25continue that power as you're getting into those big reps I mean you can definitely feel that you
37:30know I hit right around ten I was like I don't I don't know how many more I've got left but I really
37:34want a podium spot so just kept grinding and just touching on that one event to go you're now joint
37:40seconds I mean right in the mix yep I'm stoked power stairs is a great event for me in the past so I'm
37:47excited game on yeah oh yeah thank you guys the American with a potentially very significant win
37:55there a massive 15 reps two more than Eddie Williams Gavin Bilton taking third while Thor tied fourth
38:02with a cluster of other strongmen and that means that while Thor is still top with one event to go
38:08Bryce Johnson has moved up to tie Matt Rack for second spot Tristan Hoer still in with a shout of
38:13taking a podium position it's back to Colin and Danny thanks James and yes we move on to the power
38:19stairs Colin 200 to 250 kilos weights four of them have to be carried up these stairs each one
38:27and the fastest time wins simple as that Paddy Haynes has done it so do these other men but he leads with 30.78 seconds
38:35so Eddie Williams and Matt Rack next up Australia and New Zealand to show off exactly how they get the
38:50shopping home yes Williams on the left the Australian the New Zealander on the right Matt Rack and oh he has
38:57to get it over that lip that's one of the rules so it doesn't come back down at you when you're going on the
39:01next one that's why 225 kilos on to 240 for Williams and he's doing really well here he might be able to
39:09beat the 30 seconds of Paddy Haynes he's quick on the last one well it will be very tight indeed but you never
39:18know I don't think he knows he didn't quite manage that Eddie Williams 32.89 should have been tighter
39:26Matt Rack gets it over the lip so much depends on how you do that final pull to get it over the lip
39:34it really cost you a lot of time as it did for Matt Rack there
39:37a pensive eye from Hafthor Bjornsson this isn't sewn up yet he's going to have to put in a performance
39:46he's got a points lead if he does a decent top three performance he will win but his exhaustion level
39:54surely is at its highest it's ever been as he's on the right hand side the Icelanders six foot nine
40:01against six foot six of Johnson in the USA on the left both very quick on the first one well Johnson
40:08needs to not only put in a great time here but he has to hope somehow that Thor crumbles Bjornsson making
40:17really precise work on that final lift of each weight he's getting over that lip and not taking
40:22any chances yes very deliberate here from Hafthor Bjornsson as he gets ready to finish this off
40:28now he won't do quite enough to win the power stairs but it doesn't matter because he's done
40:35enough to win the strongman open goodness me great showing from Johnson 36.59 but this is all about
40:43Hafthor Bjornsson back with a bang his ninth Giants live title on a fantastic night of strength yes you
40:52think about it a world record well that would have been enough he could have sat out and retired from
40:57there there's his mum and dad his son what a moment for him dad hangs in tears and he stayed on and
41:04fought and he might not have won every event but he's won the world open too welcome back Hafthor Bjornsson
41:14so just a word for your perseverance your hardness the determination just to complete let alone win but
41:23just to get through it how mentally tough you are yeah you know i've gone through a lot i've fought a lot
41:30like i've been in sports a long time and you know if there's anything anything that i'm stronger that's
41:38to push myself to the limits and i tonight i definitely did that that was there were moments where i was just
41:45like i want to just quit but you know even though that thought comes in i'll never quit i know that
41:52within myself i would never quit but i'm going to feel it tomorrow how do you do it how have you
41:58gone from basketball to strongman to boxing back up to doing what you're doing now and be as dominant as
42:05you are if there's anything that i know i learned a lot from my from my dad and from my grandfather
42:12just how to work hard they they taught me how to work hard and and there was this mindset when i was
