The World's Strongest Man competition took place over a month ago, and after all the kegs were tossed, trucks pulled, and the last Atlas Stone was set, a new champion emerged. American strongman Martins Licis, a.k.a. the Dragon, took the crown.
Icelandic actor and defending champ Hafthor Bjornsson, The Mountain on HBO's now-complete Game of Thrones, took third place while fighting through a foot injury. Poland's Mateusz Kieliszkowski was the runner-up.
