  • He didn't get it due to his height, This had nothing to due with his strength. He's definitely strong enough to get it up there he just doesn't have the reach, Look at Travis ortmayer for example, Travis got it easily due to his height, We all know travis is not stronger than derek. Height plays a huge role in this event!

  • i think he could do it but he didnt want to over theow it so the stone didnt hurt the guys holding the stand.

  • Thank God we have cranes. Dude is a beast too.

  • @SlammedBeretta Indeed. A good example for that is Magnus Samuelsson.

  • It is amazing that the competitors don't simply refuse to compete in this event.

    The risk of serious permanent injury is insanely high.

    It is too bad that the folks who run this competition don't respect the athletes.

    If they did, they would never consider this event.

  • Hes a tough boi

  • @SlammedBeretta Yeah.. this event sucks.

  • If only he was little bit more taller.

  • Impressive that he can have that weight just bouncing on his shoulder like it's nothing. I think he would get that up if there was more space for him to give it a good throw.

  • Keep practicing man, keep practicing! You were so close!

  • Well said, keeping in mind Travis is known for stone load and he's got a crazy technique.

  • pound for pound im stronger. no i have not been drinking lol..
