Today's highlights included Magnus Ver winning the overhead stone lift, after Magnus Magnusson passed many attempts and then failed, which put him in fourth place in that event. Those places were reversed in the weight for height, as Magnus Magnusson set a new Icelandic record for the win, and Magnus Ver finished in fourth place. Magnus Ver also won the tire flip today.
