Mark Felix (56) and Iron Biby were not participating in the entire competition, only going for the world record in the Hercules hold, which is why they are not included in the score. It would not be fair to compare other athletes who are competing in multiple events and thus have to be judicious with their exertion at each event vs. athletes competing in only one event. Same thing with the log or deadlift world record attempts during these competitions.

Not taking away anything from Mitch, at all. But i believe the competition is not as it used to be. The fact that Mitch 'dominates' contests can be 2 things: 1.

@pectenmaximus2313 ай бұрын
Strongman has a larger talent pool than ever and each year new records are set in pulls and presses. Maybe he has invested more time than others in conditioning, so he has the endurance to hit each event hard? Or maybe the particular mix of events favours his type of athleticism over other types? For a good comparison maybe look at Mariusz - wasnt small but not big like his competition, yet he dominated because he was a total freak and the events, over the full run of them, suited him.
