HERCULES HOLD Team is hoisted aloft on a forklift platform something like Chesney Hawkes and each man holds one side of a 500kg basket of barrels suspended beneath them. It's a weird one. Look out for it at Christmas. Pirates - very short Celts - 46 seconds Legends - 55 sec Bears - 47 sec (perhaps) Bravehearts - 63 sec Yankees - 75 sec Barbarians - 76 sec Knights - 87 sec | |||

CAR DEADLIFT 355kg for reps, lifters tag each other whenever they wish to swap. Legends 23 Celts 12 Yankees 31 Bravehearts 26 Knights 32 Bears 25 Barbarians 31 Pirates 1 For the Pirates, Heinla started and his hand slipped on the first rep. Kieliszkowski tagged in and pulled one rep then stepped away. Happy to bomb out of that event it seems. | |||

Post Edited: 26.08.2018 @ 13:56 PM by segou HUSAFELL STONEFirst heat - Felix/Ortmayer, Hadge2, Phil/Tom, Licis/Mitchell. The track is some sort of slippy looking plastic matting now under 2 inches of pooling water and athletes are skidding all over the shop. For me, conditions verging on unsafe but perhaps I am over cautious. All four teams in the first heat did roughly two lengths. A Hadge stacked it in the rain a couple of times. Trey Mitchell off to a very impressive start. Second heat - everyone else. Dreadful start for O'Dwyer/Bilton who fumble initial pick up then never manage to get going. Handover slows down Shivlyakov/Janashia. Awesome performance from Lalas2. Event winners : Team Knights (Licis / Mitchell) | |||

Post Edited: 26.08.2018 @ 09:29 AM by segou Obviously it depends on how they do the pricing and seating but we have found in the last couple of years that some of the VIP seats have quite a poor view - particularly those in the very back rows of the blocks of seats on the front flat floor section. There is a much better view from the front row of the main tiered seating even though you are slightly further back. I guess it depends on whether you are after VIP for the view or the meet and greet etc. Either way it is all mad £££ now.Oh and not sure about ticket sales but Giants Live have a mailing list sign up on their site so you could get notified that way? | |||

On my way to Stoke and happy to provide my usual slightly patchy and occasionally inaccurate updates on today's team competition. Also to include Z's log WR attempt (!) and Ortmayer / Tom Stoltman attempting a 255kg atlas stone. Is anyone at the U23 World Championship this morning? |
