One Day More
A mere three events now stand between these athletes and the title of champion. Here’s what fans are looking forward to tomorrow, May 5th:
- Finals Event 4: Reign Total Body Fuel Conan’s Wheel — 10:00 AM
- Finals Event 5: BFGoodrich Tires HD Terrain Deadlift — 12:00 PM
- Finals Event 6: Atlas Stones — 3:00 PM
Given that one of the last three events is the Atlas Stones, an event Tom Stoltman has not lost in years, it appears the contest is his to lose. Anything can happen on strongman’s biggest stage, but Hooper and Singleton likely only have the Reign Total Body Fuel Conan’s Wheel and BFGoodrich Tires HD Terrain Deadlift to truly close the gap.
Before the final day begins, make sure you’re all caught up with the action. Stay tuned to BarBend all day tomorrow for up-to-the-minute results.
