Vitaliy Pulin and Valery Gazaev set the stage for elite grip strength performances and 2018 Ukrainian Elite Grip Challenge and Lyudmila Gaiduchenko and Dmytro Potapenko delivered, setting three world records between them.

Potapenko pulled 108.30 kg on the Little Big Horn, to eclipse the world record of 107.29 established by Laine Snook (UK) in 2015. Gaiduchenko, whose name is becoming synonymous with the women’s world record on the Apollon’s Axle, moved her own record up to 135.65 kg, and she also broke the women’s world record on the Little Big Horn, with a lift of 65.90 kg.
