Britain's Strongest Man 2018/Giants Live GB

Nice one Hicks! Would love to see him get 1st or 2nd! Deadlift used to be a weakness!!!!

SUPER YOKE 


Not all times announced, argh. Going in pairs.


McElroy 12.25 seconds 


Steele 11.15

Tom not announced, way slower than Steele


Luke 11.58

Brunning a lot slower than Luke 


Terry 10.24 sprint

Page very slow by comparison


SMITH 12.88 inc 2 second penalty for sliding the yoke

Nowicki slower, put yoke down once near end


Bishop crazy acceleration, "in 2nd place in event so far" (time not announced)

Felix slower


HICKS 8.61 holy christ

Hall 10.02


I am sitting immediately behind the athletes and it looked like Paul Smith had balance issues - the front of the yoke was sitting very low.


Hall complaining of low back strain after deadlift.


Hixxy is king!


Event finished at 19:10.

Hicks doing great..bodes well for max log at Europe's.

Ed, Z, Hicks and Thor all on max log.

It's stupid them not actually telling the crowd the times.

Go HICKS!!!!

Looked like sheer exhaustion rather than anything more worrying. Shame about the penalty on his yoke.

So Hall 1 point above Hicks after 3 events?

Would love Hix to snatch it.
His Instagram "part time strongman". Statically incredible and living a full time job (like many others) but if you ask about Hix outside of absolute hard-core fans, people will scratch their heads. Such is the nature of self promotion.

Standings have briefly been on a screen. Only caught first five.


Hall 38

HICKS 36

Bishop 29

Terry = 23

PAUL SMITH = 23


Where is Ben Joyce when you need him?

.

2 pts according to strength asylum.

Just saw the yoke vid, Ed a little lucky not to be penalised for sliding. And obvious complaints of a back issue as he crossed the line.

1. Eddie Hall 38
2. Graham Hicks 36
3. Adam Bishop 29
4. Paul Smith 23
4. Terry Hollands 23

Page 56.00 seconds 


Nowicki 50.86 seconds 

Brunning much slower


Tom 46.97

Paul Smith slower


Luke 42.12

McElroy slow, fumbled barrel


Felix beats Steele 

Steele clearly in tremendous pain - injured hip on second item but finished anyway, obvious struggle


Terry 45.93

Bishop 46.32


Hall vs HICKS an incredible battle. Hicks faster on first item. Then Hall led. Hall fumbled a sandbag. Neck and neck into tyre. Hall gets hands clear first. Neither time announced.

Finished at 19:55.

Have to say Hicks looks awesome and that yoke my god absolutely destroyed it, shame Loz isn't competing as would have loved to see a race between the two!

Hicks looks like he’s raised his game massively. Great to see him doing so well and pushing one of the very best
