Mike Rinderle Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Heats (Qualifiers) Load and Drag Load and Farmer’s Walk Truck Pull Overhead Press (Dumbbell) Overhead Press (Log) Arm Over Arm Toss Squat with loading barrels Deadlift with loading barrels Atlas Stones Note that the heats get different events from the above list, usually with five or six events. One group may get the overhead press with a dumbbell and another with a log, one may squat with loading barrels and the other will deadlift with loading barrels, etc. Finals Events Frame Carry Car Deadlift Loading Race Truck Pull Max Overhead Atlas Stones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 With those events I’d be willing to bet that either Brian or Hafthor will walk away with the win. They are both strong in all of those events apart from the max overhead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Agreed. They have to be the two favorites going in. Especially with it looking like Eddie won't be competing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEAstinI Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Is there a list of competing athletes somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I didn't notice that, but very strange for him to do something like that, I had assumed they were just wiping it. I did like the strapless frame carry, but they decided on 900lbs instead of the planned 1140 and I thought that was interesting, still half the people couldn't even complete it. Was also surprised at Shaws deadlift performance, based on recent training I thought he would have came out way stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
