WSM 1992 - Stone Press (Part 4/7)

The World Strongest Man competition 1992 in Iceland. It was a great battle and probably the tightest competition for the World Strongest Man. Magnús Ver Magnússon won in 1991 and was the favourite in his homeland. Jón Páll Sigmarsson is an expert for the television this year, but he died in January 1993.

Here you can see the fourth part, the stone press.

About the event:
Here you can see the competitors lifting some irregular shaped stones over their heads. This event is very difficult because you can't get a good grip of the stones. The waterfall behind the competitors is Gullfoss.

Competitors:
Ted Van Der Parre (Netherlands), Magnús Ver Magnússon (Iceland), Jamie Reeves (Britian), Gerrit Badenhorst (South Africa), Gary Taylor (Britain), Henning Thorsen (Denmark), Gregg Ernst (Canada), Ilkka Nummisto (Finland), James Perry (USA) and Ilkka Kinnunen (Finland)

Just like to add that Ilkka Nummisto is 48 years old in this competition!
