EXPOSED! Cheating scandal at Worlds Strongest Man | Hafthor Bjornsson

Hey guys, I hope everyone is safe and healthy. I just want to take this opportunity first to say how grateful I am for all the support I've received over the years from everyone so it's a big but master thank you for that when I get it. My dream of winning the Will Strongest Man title three years ago. I couldn't wait to get back to Britain to thank everyone and share my title Will with them, but before I even got home to my friends and family to tell them the news, a man. - bad sportsmanship to a whole new level and spread all over the media in the world and this is a quote from half Alba Johnson.

I have been robbed for the past three years of a series of answers to questions about how I defeated some of the

strongest

men who have ever had Albert Johnson's half included on that list. Instead, there were people wondering if he would really want it or not. Half of Albert Johnson and his entourage have been smearing my title and the referee: they brought his reputation for the last three years and because he was the mountain of Game of Thrones and he was a big television star, people listened and people I believed him now. I already had enough doubts to say enough.

Albert Johnson was robbed saying how the referees robbed him and how hard they did it today. I came across a video that ends all the dirty talk and silences the skeptics and I have to say this video stopped me in my tracks at how desperate a man can be when things don't go his way. Now this video exposes the harsh truth and shows you what really happened behind the scenes in 2017 it will be Strongest Man it's time for the truth to be told it's time to let the pictures do the talking half Ober Johnson you and your yes man should be ashamed Your words are cheap and I am sick and tired of listening to the lies and excuses that come out of your mouth.

You used to be a good man and believe it or not. I used to classify you as a good friend, but your yes man has poisoned you. I got a little advice for the yes men who can't get in the ring with you next year when we fight and if they do, I will beat them up until they become no men, now in the next video clip. it has some live Giants and I think it was made by an independent filmmaker, a former WSM producer, Andy Quinn, who saw all this drama. I decided to make a documentary and, by the way, it has done an incredible job of bringing back the sport of the strong. where it belongs now.

I'm not going to try to influence you. I'll try to put anything in your minds. You can watch it for yourself and make your own decisions, so enjoy the video guys, stay safe, be awesome, be great, what the Beast takes. care second Hrothgar once I live what better list of all the diseases like that the stigma Eddie let me be the first

strongest

man in the world good, community fight against rubber damn, you are a warrior Congratulations, no one else regrets being bald still gets that Colin Bryce, the head referee, called for double dipping. Hi, I'm Andrew Quinn, a former Strongest Man global producer and still a huge fan of the sport recently.

I've been working on a behind-the-scenes documentary watching one. of the biggest and most controversial finals of all time, the 2017 Strongest Man World Finals, while working on this project I had access to many cameras that the public had not seen before and I want to take this opportunity to take a look at part of the controversy surrounding Thor's half beyond sin, the Viking press and Colin Bryce, the chief referee. First, let's take a look at something called familiarization. Now is when the athletes gathered the date in front of the wall. The strongest man. final and they talked about the disciplines that are coming in the next few days, let's take a look guys, we will talk in a fun and fast way, great, okay, any questions, agreement, I think they raise the Indian flag, it is green, yellow, its strength aerial is not good when When it comes to repeat events, I always side with the athlete with a caveat, so just to give you a chance if you lose your mind in the heat, so that on that note with the Viking press. and you know us, we always communicate through my foot, since you can leave it well, right?

Don't we all know everything? I mean, we're all the best here and you know, if you double dip, you know it. true, if you're getting the point that you're going to do a double dip, you can always leave it and rest so there's no double dip, this is where women lead by example, but often finish some reps with your knees bent a little , it's just what it's just your body position, so we're just going to communicate with it, we're not going to give it a descent signal by looking around. Words like this were as vile as communicating with a force, so once a week to let him know, he knows it is a great recognition.

I have to end there because if he's just a little bit, you know he's a little bit up there, you say, well, did he double dip? Did he duplicate it? in the right place where we go up we explode on two feet we go down okay these no that's the function did you do this and then land there? That would be absolutely dog. Did you do this and then land there? That would be absolutely straight. So the person you call is as simple as that. This is not perfect. size that's what you just said just be honest that's why I'm saying it you can't allow it tonight catch it tonight after this year can me and you go and can I show you my technique so we don't have to thank you?

Well, can I? That's a final comment before anyone wants to stay, please, gentlemen. I hope we can all attack this with the greatest sporting integrity, but this deserves it because it's going to walk a fine line and I know why everyone is asking so many questions. because you all know that Greg, you and I, Darren Aaron, will do our best at all times to be as fair as possible in all scenarios, so hopefully we'll get the best man to make everyone else happy if you want to stay in a little place where they I have to please let us know because what we do most people like to fall sad on things and get injured.

Everyone else, please gather your things and leave the yard, that will be greatly appreciated. Okay, there you can see the athletes being briefed by Colin Bryce. head referee where he explains that you can't take the elevator with your legs bent. Now on to the event itself, first the half started, he was soon on top with Nick better and then Eddie Hall finished off with Martines Elise, but what I am. What I'm going to do is add behind the scenes cameras that haven't been seen before of what happened during the time of the event, let's take a look at the Viking press afterwards, a goodbye here, equip this machine very well from the beginning, already passed. struggling to fit into a good early rhythm, although for the Icelandic Giants there was very little hitting involved in it, lifting this overhead which is just shoulder, deltoids, arms, triceps, blocking it, all the tips, giving some instructions about telling half Thor to wait at the top, he received a warning there. but they have given him credit for 13 repetitions.

Nick does the best he can with a full heart, but he doesn't have enough pressing power. Half the gate goes to his fourteenth and it looks like he now gets it with 15. Wait, he won't get that one instead. He's called for a double dip. by Colin Bryce the poor head referee gets in trouble there with his block the referee gave a warning earlier for bending his knees on the lift and on that last lift to try to get that block he moves his hips forward, those are his knees and unfortunately that is not allowed yes yes amazing amazing beautiful yes there is something to say now if you are so good you want to talk it was a year ago here in Botswana with our teenage potential clients he is on the right here he really made an impression it was made a name and made it to the finals as a rookie but he has a lot of work ahead of him now cooking against tremendous pressing power up to Bret Eddie Hall here this is amazing I mean these guys if they wanted to they can stop and now finally Eddie Hall does it. you can stop and restart, but it was 11:00 before I needed a break, how about you lead eight reps and you've been suffering from a sternum injury the entire competition doing an exhibition too, but you might be exhausted, Let's see how Eddie Hall? ends here eddie getting his second win 14 the number to beat put on by bjornsen a few moments ago and now eddie is after him again he has tied it with his 14 wins the viking press here in the final with 15 incredible reps and he probably could have done it . more, but he knows he only needed 15, known affectionately as the beast, the attack that the Vikings press with animal tenacity, so Eddie Hole won the Viking press for a reading and, as you can see, half of Thor was quite pleased with the 14 repetitions he obtained immediately after. their elevators now what you are going to see next has not been seen these are the cameras that captured what happened after the viking press finished take a look there are worse defenseless below shoot sit down let's have three more grepolis and then everyone say this is duplicate ok mate I had to hide and therefore I gave you three replays which were bad because I warned you and gave you one off, sorry they took one away from the war.

Story with Google sent, man this is too much. I know, I know it's time for us, I thought maybe when I saw you in front brother, I'll say as you see and I might have been bad with what I did because I knew you were confused, so until now there hasn't been a word from the team Strongest Man Referee World Cup in response to allegations of

cheating

that have been raised online and on social media during my investigation. I came across the official report prepared by Colin Bryce for the Strongest Man world organizers which quickly explained Viking Press Rules: There are three normal infractions that people commit.

Firstly, locking your elbows is key to showing that they are under control. They must wait for a signal from their referee. The third is double dipping. You can only bend your legs. once and if you catch it with soft legs again you are basically doing what is known as a push pull, perhaps the best example of a double dip is the Droon, which goes for the push, passes it with bent knees when he gets tired and lands, he has to bounce. knees before he could press with his arms, he doesn't have enough power left in his upper body, he stressed to Thor because he often does bent leg presses, which puts him in danger of losing reps, he understood that He wanted to show me. his technique was one he was happy with, on strangers, normally only a warning is allowed, Hatful was not holding, it's too early to go down, they are all representatives of offending bulls.

I tell him to wait at the top again, we have to hold on there. a little more and that, but then it gets smooth again, we don't go down, this is the first point a double dip happens, you catch yourself with your knees bent and again, just before I leave you to rest, I give you one last warning quite clearly. too many violations, too many so far, if you look at his arms, but at the top of the lift the first time is a little soft, the second time extremely soft elbows never locked, they squirt it, the other one is ready to put on the hat because he never lost. his elbows either, but I didn't have time to say that the proof was that he was squirted, he couldn't hold on and now let's make a gem comparison, Eddy Hall, who won the event by repetition, and Hatful Bjornsen, what are the legs in particular?

This now begs the question: can he continue to say that he was cheated into the World's Strongest Man in 2017 or maybe it's Eddie who was cheated out of the Wall's Strongest Man glory that he always dreamed of? Hopefully this study will help shed some light on this. I'll leave you now with some of the thoughts from the athletes who competed in Wall Strongest Man in 2017. Thanks for watching. I'm good friends with Thor's half, but I don't think he had a leg to stand on. Eddie's argument was after Thor's half in the Viking press that he did enough to win and that was that maybe half thought he should have gotten an extra replay or not for the referee to decide, but Eddie went after and probably I would have done another repeat anyway, my personal opinion.

The feeling is as good friends as I am with Half Floor. I think he'd just had too many yes men around him convincing him or something that wasn't a problem. Eddie looks comfortable, he won that event and I want to see that, believe that's how it would be. I've made a difference, it was really strange because I was on the platform next to Thor, competing against him. I was wondering what this is. I appeared in news clips that aired on the Fox Network throughout the United States. Thorin Wendt complained. on the internet was kind of a surprise to meeverything is at the discretion of the judge you placed there's just not much you can do about it I mean he could have won the pole for the plane he didn't win and he's one of the best vehicle shooters in the world there was still a lot left in the contest when that it happened there was still time for him to take it out there is controversy everywhere at the end of the day in the events that were won fairly I need to understand that it is a sport and you can say I will win this because of that, if you win you have it and that That's all, if we look at it this way, then I must be four times the strongest man, this is life and this is reality.

You won't win everything very well by fighting Oh, docks, winning battles in the war, you got the trophy. Congratulations, Eddie Hall, the strongest man in the world.
