Held in Ingolstadt, Germany with more than 1,000 people watching, 15 athletes battled it out in one of the best known and most popular strongman events: the truck pull.  A 22-ton truck was pulled 20 meters, with Ollesch covering the course in under 34 seconds.

Here are the top three:

1. Heinz Ollesch 33.69 seconds
2. Tobias Ide   35.94
