The events were: tire flip, deadlift for reps (260 kg), overhead medley and a weight for height medley (2 16-kg kettlebells, a beer keg and a 56-lb. weight).  Georg Ögmundsson was second and Ari Gunnarsson third.

Haffþór Júlíusson Björnsson “is getting better every day,” Arnason said.  “He is now focusing on the Jon Pall Sigmarsson Classic,” which will be held at the 2010 Icelandic Fitness and Health Expo, November 19 - 21.
