The MHP Olympia’s Strongest Man got off with a stellar crowd and a new fan base! The first event was the Slater Max log event. The rules for the event were last man standing. So the athletes had to take every called attempt! This was definitely a crowd favorite! There were five guys that were still in at 400 pounds. The next weight called was 420 pounds! Two guys failed the attempt, but Van Hatfield, Scott Weech and Andy Vincent were still in. The log was then increased to 430 pounds. Scott and Van were the only ones to succeed the attempt as well as setting the new American record at 440 pounds. They both then were requested to do 450 pounds for a record attempt, but the lock out for both proved to be too much. Congrats to both athletes for a successful attempt and American record of 440 pounds.
The second event of the day was the 900 pound yoke carry for 50’ followed by carrying the House of Pain water filled barrel for 50’ with the completion going head to head. The athletes again entertained the packed crowd as some athletes succeeded and some could not finish the yoke while some had to get a measured distance on the HOP barrel. The winner of the event was Andy Vincent, with Van Hatfield coming in second and David Hansen in third.
The third and final event for day one was the Slater Atlas stones on the run. The stones were 300 pounds up to 410 pounds. Most athletes were successful at loading all four stones, but Andy Vincent was the only athlete to load all five stones which caused the crowd to go into an uplifted roar!
After day one, Andy Vincent led the field, followed by Van Hatfield, and a three way tie for third place. After day one, it was clear that the fight for first and second was between Van Hatfield and Andy Vincent. The fight for third was between the other eight athletes.
Day Two
The second day of the MHP Olympia Strongman Challenge began with the Slater giant Dumbbell Press (one arm) for repetitions. The dumbbell weighed 180 pounds with the diameter of the handle being 3” in circumference. The number for most was five repetitions, until Andy and Van were up going head to head. The crowd was going absolutely wild when the athletes were both at 9 repetitions with 12 seconds left on the clock. Andy could not quite lock out the 10th rep, while Van Hatfield went on to complete two more lifts, having a total of 11 reps for the win.
The second event of the day was the deadlift medley. The athletes had to pull the 800 pound frame for three repetitions, then the 650 pound 2” axle for three repetitions, followed by the 705 pound barbell for as many repetitions. Most athletes were successful at all three lifts, but then John Conner pulled the 705 deadlift for 6 repetitions giving him a total of 12 pulls. Van Hatfield then out pulled John with 7 repetitions for the win. The win helped Van advance to first place with a 4 point lead over Andy.
The third event was the 350 pound farmer and sled drag medley. The athletes had to carry the farmer tanks for 50’ followed by a 275 pound keg loaded into a 530 pound sled, then pulling the sled for 50’. Most athletes were successful at completing the entire event, and the drag once again came down to Andy and Van. Both athletes finished the event with a blazing time, but Andy edged out the field for the win. Going into the last event, Van’s lead had then dropped to a 2.5 point lead over Andy for first and second, and the race to third was still between Matt Dawson, John Conner and David Hansen.
On the fifth and final event, the athletes went head to head with the 380 pound stone over the bar for repetitions. Tamaz finished with five stones, van Hatfield finished with 5 stones as well as matt Dawson. Andy Vincent finished with six stones along with John Conner. John Conner’s performance leaped frogged him into third place and Matt Dawson into 4th place. The three way tie caused Van to share points while the two way tie gave Andy Vincent the half a point to tie van for the overall points. For the win, we then had to go to a count back for the number of wins. Van Hatfield was successful with three overall wins and Andy Vincent was successful with four wins in the contest. Andy Vincent wins the inaugural MHP Olympia’s Strongest Man with Van Hatfield in 2nd, John Conner in third, Matt Dawson in 4th, and David Hansen in 5th.
