"MAN-Killer MEDLEY" I Legendary Strongman Showdown of 2015

Eddie HALL vs Hafthor BJORNSSON - its being going on a while if you hadn't realised! Not the hate - but the rivalry,,, it came to a head in 2015..

Before we arts -No doubt many would love those days to return, and when we look back at them - who got the better of who?

Well - in 2015 Event 1 had already gone to Eddie Hall. He set a World Record in the Deadlift of 463kg and that beat his effort in front of Arnold in Melbourne by a Kilo.

But Hafthor pulled one of the biggest deadlifts ever - with 450kg - the 4th biggest after Hall Bolton and Benny at this point in time - including all deadlifts from strongman and powerlifting that are regular bar lifts from competition.. Actually - here is a question for the really knowledgeable we cant answer: is this 450kg Hafthor's biggest ever deadlift in competition on an actual regular bar, we are not sure he has bettered his pull of 450kg in Event 1 of ESM 2015…. which shows you how good a form he was in! And it set the scene for the 2nd event….

Going into Event 2 - Hall and Bjornsson were first and second….. Hall vs Bjornsson would come head to head in the last pair. But the medley was horribly hard and it took them both down. Scenes of cramp and sickness from exhaustion came to both of them after this impressive battle on a simple loading event. A loading event that made them endure way in excess of 100m of flat out sprinting and most of that with heavy weight in their hands.

The Man Killer Medley took one of the two rising super stars down and out….

Other athletes include Radzikowski, Belsak., Hollands and Zegairis

if you want to ponder a question in the boxing - well - Can you read much into that dropout by the Beast ? Was it fitness? but is actually an insight into their potential boxing fitness in the future?

Fact was - they were still pretty friendly at this point, but this very head to head began to make them both believe in themselves a great deal.

A link to Eddie in the first ev ent is in the end card for those that want to watch the first event,

Ans they say 'there can be only one' and in strongman - there will be only one WSM each year! The year this was filmed was 2015, and the 'Europe's Strongest Man' contest was held at Headingly Carnegie rugby stadium.
