That's true, but there's also a chance Hedlund would have loaded enough to win since he pulled last. I think he wanted to be safe, and the gamble didn't pay off.
To be fair the arch Emil has on bench should not be allowed, if you compare ROM of the three lifters Emil almost cuts it in half with that arch and in my opinion that should be a determining factor when it comes to powerlifting. Other than that, great competition!
