If any groups are tied for 2nd place the man with the quickest time on the atlas stones will qualify for the final.
The final is due to kick off on Friday. The information we’ve got so far:
- The loading is relatively light (three tyres) but is on sand.
- The overhead circus medley is apparently 2 reps of a 110kg dumbbell followed by 2 reps of a 163kg axle.
- The squat is the giant globe, axle squat (rather than the machine) and is rumoured to be 320kg for reps.
Our thanks to Per Gunnar Roalkvam and Kevin Cronin who have been a great help in confirming the timings/scores of the athletes.
