On a more serious note, that new Polish guy looks like he is going to be seriously good in the near future.

"
Loading was the fourth event. Carrying two textile rolls and two kegs each weighing 100kg onto a platform, athletes battled head to head for the fastest time. Maneuvering the awkward rolls it was a race to the platform sprinting back and forth. The winner of this event was again Marius Lalas with 32.94 seconds."


You're not even joking lmao.

Where was Savage? Events designed for him it seems...

I think that more comps should aim to replicate event 4.

At 100kg each, I don't think that the 'textile rolls' were heavy enough to present a challenge to him.

Maybe a Fingals Finger style event with massive carpet rolls should be the next big thing.

In fairness to Paul he lifts carpets specifically, and not textile rolls. You can't expect to employ the same technique when approaching an axminster and a roll of sack cloth. Different lifts completely.

But lifting carpets is like strong man training and he does it all day so I expect the strength gained from carpet lifting to transfer to textile roles, or am I wrong?

Completely different things Aaron mate. As an example, we both lift weights, but you smell bad and I'm "reasonably good looking whilst still being quite a big bloke".
