HONOLULU - Jan Bartl left no doubt about last year's victory, as he repeated as the IronMind® Rolling Thunder® World Champion.

Bartl had made last year's winning lift with his right hand, but due to an earlier injury, he pulled this year's winning lift of 258.5 pounds with his left hand, claiming US$1,000.00 along with the title.

Phil Pfister was second, and Odd Haugen was third.  The IronMind® Rolling Thunder® World Championships is part of this weekend's 24-Hour Fitness Beauty and the Beast Strongman Championships.
