“The tyre was 440 kg and 185cm high, and the distance was 20m. The old record was also held by Ervin, at 43sec, and now the record is 41sec.

“The challenger, Lauri Nami, did not succeed in his try; unfortunately, he is suffering from a hamstring injury.

“This was third time this year, that SCL athletes have been invited to attempt Guinness Records: At the beginning of the year, Thor Björnsson and Mike Burke were in Shanghai doing new records in the weight for height, and then in June–July, Thor and Zydrunas Savickas were n Italy filming for a month. A lot of new records and lot more to come.

“Next weekend is MHP SCL Zambia in Lusaka, so stay tuned for more news here on IronMind,” said Kinnunen.
