2 fridges, one carry, another world record.
The champion. For anyone involved in any competitive endeavor it’s the word that they always strive to hear next to their name. It means a lot to be a champion, the one considered the best in the world at what you do. Being a champion in an individual sport, whether it be boxing, mixed martial arts, or bodybuilding, being considered the champ is proving to the world that you’re the alpha dog, the one to beat in order to be considered the greatest.
Perhaps even more coveted than being called the champion is being a record setter, someone who accomplishes a feat that no other human has been able to pull off. Sure, the title of greatest in the world is definitely an awesome moniker, but at the same time it’s a privilege that many people have in their own time. There have been many boxing champions, many MMA champions, many bodybuilding champions. Record breakers are people that history will look upon in a different light simply because they accomplish things that no other person can.

This notion rings true for a man you may be more than familiar with. Hafthor Bjornsson, or “The Mountain” as he’s being called more frequently these days, is a man who is accustomed to breaking and setting strength records that no other man has been able to accomplish. It seems as if the strongman hopes to break every record that there is as long as it has to do with proving his strength and showing the world that he is pound for pound the strongest man alive.
Recently The Mountain proved once again why he’s deserving of that powerful nickname as he broke another world record to further cement his name in history. He now holds the world record for the fastest 20 meter fridge carry. Seriously, this guy breaks records so regularly that we are almost getting tired to even write about. But each and every time it’s just awe inspiring. If we had to bet, we’re sure that we’ll be writing up another one of these articles in about two weeks or so. What’s next Hafthor? Three fridges? Maybe one of those industrial restaurant walk in freezers?
