More and more people should know about this Legendary stone, probably the most iconic historical lifting stone in the world. Highly encourage to read the Húsafell Stone and Lifting Stone Wikipedia articles...
Olekskii Novikov gripped the stone differently from everyone else (the most triangular point bottom) which is relatively easier than how others did it but still only the King was more impressive than him. This was the event and the day I predicted Oleksii will do wonders and the following year, he won WSM.
Everyone expects great performance by Thor on the Husafell stone. It's a traditional icelandic feat of strength after all, and he's the world record holder.. Novikov however came into this competition as a rookie. He was virtually unknown before this. So while Hafthor won the event, I think Novikov's performance was the most surprising and impressive.
@@bmstylee This is specifically about Stonelifting and he has won more stone events and has broken more stone world records than anyone else. Do your research.
