Surprised Hafthor did so well this time out against all the big names -

That's Magnus Ver Magnusson he's standing next to, to give you an idea of his size, 6' 9" 200kgs / 440lbs -

They did a rock lift using odd shaped natural rocks instead of the atlas stones,and it was the next to last event.Probably wanted to shake up the format a bit.
