But, I'm 99% sure WUS rules state that you can't rest the stone on the platform and push it over, so if you want consistency from WUS, technically Donna's attempt shouldn't of counted?

As I understand it the stone can touch the platform, as long as the lifter doesn't touch it before it's gone over. i.e. Grab platform with hand as pushing stone over. Or rest belly on it or something.

Which is why the platform has an edge on one side and is rounded on the apposing side. She hits the edge, and then pushed it over (have you seen the lift?)

But I heard them say the lifter can't touch the platform. I didn't watch the whole thing so never heard them mention the stone not touching tbh.

Cos he said 'good lift' Maybe the WUS organisers were thinking 'no lift'

So I assume that's what she understood to be the rules? Although I don't think there was a chance of her not resting it on top at her height.

They changed the rules from Rhianons attempts it seems which I'm a bit annoyed at but nothing new from strongman organisers.

Rhianon not allowed to touch top of platform with atlas stone? Was Tom for his 280 kg lift?

Was Tom for his 280 kg lift? If was allowed to touch while going over but no resting the stone against the platform and pushing it over.
