Canadian strongman Hugo Girard (CAN) outdistanced his competition by 10 points to take the Stockholm Super Series GP, but it was Svend Karlsen (NOR) who set a new world record on the log lift–185 kg.

Three men, including Anders Johansson (SWE) and Raimunds Bergmanis (LAT), tried to topple Jamie Reeve's ten-year-old record of 180 kg, but only Svend managed to get the weight up.

Top ten finishers were: 1) Girard, 81 points; 2) Karlsen, 71; 3) Savickas (LIT), 68.5; 4) Muhr (GER), 65; 5) Pudzianowski (POL), 64; 6) Johansson (SWE), 63; 7) Bergmanis, 53; 8) Dymek (POL), 52.5; 9) Haugen (NOR), 44; 10) Schoonveld (USA), 36.5.
