I love these older competitions. Its a weird mix of travel show and strongman. The commentary just cracks me up. It just feels like they turned up to do a travel show, got drunk in a local bar and challenged a bunch of randoms that were on holiday to lift heavy things down the beach.

Pound for pound Magnus was a beast

This competition was previewing the last 3 weeks of O.D. Wilson's life. It was sad to see his performance here because of the injuries he sustained. At least he died doing what he loved, not living a lie.

O.D. Wilson passed away two weeks after this event

Many of the events of these older wsms seemed to be very exhausting... They had to run, drag heavy stuff and carry several objects long distances... Nowadays this sport is very dramatic and the loads to move are colossal. At the turn of the Millennium we were somewhere in the middle... It has been very fascinating to see how this sport evolves 🇫🇮💜

OD was in alot of pain.

The good old days!  But only 6000 quid for all that blood, sweat and tears?  Seems almost obscene... The effort Magnus put in there to win that has to be equivalent to 25 years worth for the average government office worker!

Even tho Jon Pall is my favorite strongman, its so impressive how Magnusson came in at his first event and just smoked everybody, truly a WSM successor to jon pall. Those icelandics are really something else

RIP     O.D WILSON

Great competition! Thank you very much for the upload! Cool to see Magnus on Instagram still easy benchnig 160kg in 2023 with 60 years😅

The way they thrown the stones onto the barrels !

O.D. Wilson, what a nice guy.  He was like Shaq but with more charisma!  "I don't know what them Icelanders be eating, but I want some of that!"  😆🤣

You know how awesome Magnus Ver Magnusson must be when a massive guy like O.D. Wilson is blown away by his strength!

This is awesome !

It’s like Jamie Reeves is reading from a script…

Impressive Magnuson ⚡🦅⚡⚒⚡

Magnus is a total bad ass!!   Dominating for so long and doing it at just under 300 lbs Bw is incredible
Imagine Magnus on today’s PED’s he’d be athletic and strong like Rayno Nell

Pure gold!

33:05 the easiset 420kg ever lifted

I feel so bad for manfred hobearl. He used synthol way before they realized it turns to tumors over time. There a reason you never heard of him past the late 90s. He was one of the early users when they still thought it gave strength gains.
