Is that a title that exists?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-19pn8re e2kc3sl0\">Bjornsson certainly qualifies as a figurative Mountain. He checks in at 6-feet-9-inches and 400 pounds. But he is far from the merciless monster he depicts on television. A scene in which he crushed a foe\u2019s skull with his bare hands \u201cactually made my heart hurt,\u201d he said\u00a0in 2014.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-19pn8re e2kc3sl0\">The World\u2019s Strongest competition will be shown in the United States on CBS beginning in June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-19pn8re e2kc3sl0\">Among the events Bjornsson contested this year were the Car Deadlift, the Truck Pull and a grueling Loading Race in which he hauled anchors, anvils and other heavy objects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-19pn8re e2kc3sl0\">After the victory, Bjornsson posted a\u00a0photograph of himself lifting the trophy\u00a0on his Instagram account, adding \u201cWant to thank all of my family, friends and fans for supporting me along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-19pn8re e2kc3sl0\">The World\u2019s Strongest Man was originally a made-for-TV American-based event in the 1970s, held at Universal Studios in California. The first year included another strongman turned actor, Lou Ferrigno, who played the Incredible Hulk on TV. Ferrigno placed fourth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-19pn8re e2kc3sl0\">The event expanded internationally after a few years and is now respected and established with a dedicated core of fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-19pn8re e2kc3sl0\">Iceland did well in the competition in the 1980s and \u201990s: the musclemen Jon Pall Sigmarsson and Magnus ver Magnusson won 8 contests in 11 years. But no Icelander had won since 1996, until Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More in :\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/theworldsstrongestman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/theworldsstrongestman.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mountain is the strongest man on \u201cGame of Thrones.\u201d Now he\u2019s the strongest man in the real world as well.
