The Icelandic 6-feet-9-inch and 400 pound giant of a man had never won the title before despite his incredible strength. On Sunday in the Philippines, the three time runner-up and three time third place finisher finally achieved this long-term goal.
During the World Strongest Man competition these heavyweights compete in crazy feats of strength including Car Deadlifts, Truck Pulls and using Atlas Stones in a grueling endurance race. Each event is truly a sight to behold.
The New York Times highlights that the World’s Strongest Man competition will be televised in the United States in June on CBS.
