Konstantine Janashia and Eddie Hall were in a battle for a podium, the winner of their duel guaranteeing third spot in the 2016 World's Strongest Man competition. Up first was the Loading Race, where Johan Els raced out to a lead, surprising many by running with all four sacks and posting a time of 47.27 seconds. The American then went for Bjornsson's record of 7.15, set in Heat 3, and shattered it by throwing his keg over the 7.25-meter bar. ‘I’m not sure what type, but hopefully there’ll be no luggage!’. Kieliszkowski was not too impressed by that time, as he stopped the clock at 42.16 despite a stumble.

And getting nosebleeds because of the build-up of pressure.’, He says he’s been fortunate.

JF Caron got things going by getting 5 over in 31.88 seconds. He and his wife, Liz, live in Swindon, Wiltshire. The organizers decided to make the men of Heat 2 load sacks instead, but it didn't help the Englishman that much.

Hall got the edge on the first few stones, one-motioning the first three. Brian Shaw won his 4th Worlds Strongest Man title, putting him in an elite group of only three other men, Jón Páll Sigmarsson, Magnús Ver Magnússon and Žydrūnas Savickas. The Keg Toss for height followed, and Hall struggled early, settling with a tie with Best. Laurence Shahlaei‘s source of wealth comes from being a fitness instructor.

The final featured five first-time finalists, including three World's Strongest Man rookies, a number not seen since the days of the IFSA split in the mid-2000s.

The Slovenian powerhouse managed 10 repetitions, while Licis got six.

This meant that the Icelander was right back in the hunt, and the battle for second place in the heat would come down to the Atlas Stones.

Ari Gunnarsson of Iceland took second place. His father was Iranian and his mother was English. There were six events in each heat chosen out of the following: Loading Race, Hercules Hold, Truck Pull, Squat Lift, Dumbbell Press, Atlas Stones, Viking Press and Keg Toss. Heat 3 featured four rookie competitors, along with two veterans. Event 5, the Dumbbell Press, was a real struggle for the Englishman in the group, as he could only manage two reps. That gave him last place, while Mikkel Leicht battled through his quadriceps injury to win the event with 8 reps. Gunnarsson was second, with 6. 40,000 kilograms (88,000 lb) over a 25 metres (82 ft) course. Please check back soon for updates. He was be able to complete the course, and his competition was already over. While all Hafthor Bjornsson needed to qualify was to put one stone up, Terry Hollands had to beat Konstantine Janashia and hope that someone snuck in between him and the Georgian. Heat 2 featured a favorite for the title, Eddie Hall, as well as 2010 finalist Nick Best. Eddie Hall then went, and his huge body weight helped him get to a distance of 24.45 meters.

Konstantine Janashia didn't quite manage that, but he did edge out Belsak. Konstantine Janashia was fastest on four fingers for 3rd place, with Hollands 4th again.

The next pairing featured Kieliszkowski and Shaw. Laurence was born in the 1980s. In the Viking Press, Els struggled again while Van Staden set a solid mark of six repetitions to beat. There is much camaraderie at these competitions. Within two years, he entered his first Britain's Strongest Man ("BSM"), having won the Midlands qualifier. After 3 events, Shaw led with 16 points, Kieliszkowski was one point back in second place, and Els was in third with 12 points, a point ahead of his compatriot Van Staden. They were thus the favorites to make it out of the heat. Eddie Hall destroyed the first four stones, getting the event win, while Szymanski paced himself for number four.

Bjornsson completed five in 24.15 seconds, while Hansson got four stones in just under 38 seconds. Laurence "LOZ" Shahlaei a Multiple Britain's & Former Europe's Strongest Man, is one of the U.K.'s most successful & respected Strength Athlete's ever. His score was of 6 in 40.22. In the next event, Fingal's Fingers, Hansson scored well again, finishing all five cylinders in 50.52 seconds. It was way too strong for me - I’m not much of a drinker. It was then on to the Squat Lift, and neither of the first four men to go made an impression as Ari Gunnarsson took the lead with three reps. Caron and Shahlaei decided to settle for the tie and 5.5 points each, both of them getting four easy reps before stopping.

The event was held in Kasane, Botswana,[2] from August 13–20. The Mountain stopped at six, knowing it would be enough for good points, but the real story was the duel between Janashia and Hollands. Bishop and Hall were tied with 12.5, while Best wasn't far back with 11.5 points. The French Canadian knew what he had to beat, and did just that, holding on for 44 seconds and the win. The scoring worked the same as in the prior year but not previous years; in the final event in the heats, the Atlas Stones were awarded double points. Shahlaei started strongman training in 2005 and entered his first novice competition that year, where he finished 8th. Licis and Matjaz Belsak had to settle for 400 kg, while five men locked out successfully on 420 kg. Hafthor Bjornsson won the throwing event in the 2014 final, and was a favorite heading into this one. Eddie Hall's third spot gave him a first ever podium finish, and a first podium finish for a British competitor since Terry Hollands in 2011. ‘I’ve pulled an Airbus 320 [a 123ft commercial plane that seats 150 passengers] for more than 80ft,’ he says proudly.

He did not make the final. Mark Felix, last in the first event, shattered that mark and got the win by 15 seconds, to the great joy of the local crowd.

One of the favorites in the heat, Johannes Arsjo, finally delivered in the Fingal Fingers, being the only man to get all five flipped. Laurence’s life path number is 3. These two, Hafthor Bjornsson of Iceland and Terry Hollands of Great Britain, had combined for 14 final appearances and six podiums before arriving in Botswana. Konstantine Janashia and Martins Licis stole the show early, with the Georgian Bull getting seven reps to Licis' six. Konstantine Janashia didn't quite manage that, but he did edge out Belsak. The time spent doing so proved costly for the Georgian, who was a few seconds slower than Hall for five bells. Szymanski's consistency gave him the lead halfway in, with 16.5 points. He stayed one rep ahead of his compatriot, edging out Bishop 13 reps to 12.
