Here’s how each of the Men’s U80KG competitors fared across the competition’s five main events in the Axle Clean & Press, Axle Deadlift, Farmer’s Walk, Sandbag Toss, and Sandbag Carry.
Event 1 — Axle Clean & Press
In the Axle Clean & Press, athletes had the task of cleaning and pressing a 120-kilogram (264.5-pound) axle bar for reps. On average, each competitor was lifting 1.5X their body weight in this event. With six reps, Tommy Chivers won the event. Five separate athletes — Daglish, Lancaster, Thomas Hulme, Lewis Blackwood, and Matt Nice — tied for second with four reps each.
Event 2 — Axle Deadlift
The second event saw the athletes deadlift an axle barbell, 15-inches off of the ground, loaded with 255 kilograms (562.2 pounds) for reps. Third-place finisher Richard Molnar won the Axle Deadlift with a staggering 18 reps. Daglish (17 reps) and Blackwood (15 reps) rounded out the top three.

Event 3 — Farmer’s Walk
A staple of many strongman events, the Farmer’s Walk asked the athletes to lift different 100-kilogram (220.5-pound) implements three times back and forth and carry them for a total distance of 45 meters. Chivers once again won when he finished with a time of 16.85 seconds.
Event 4 — Sandbag Toss
The sandbags in the Sandbag Toss ranged from 13.5 kilograms (29.7 pounds) to 22.5 kilograms (49.6 pounds). The athletes had to toss the sandbags over a frame that was 4.3 meters (14.1 feet) high. Brothers Tim and Joe Daglish came in first and second, respectively, while Hulme came in third place. These three athletes were the only competitors to each successfully toss at least four bags.
Event 5 — Sandbag Carry
In the final main event of the competition, the athletes had to carry a 100-kilogram (220.5-pound) sandbag for max distance. There was no time limit or timer. Eighth-place finisher Andrew Keys won his only event of the contest when he took the sandbag 210 meters (688 feet).
After the dust settled on the 2022 England’s Strongest Man U80KG, Daglish and the other seven athletes in the top eight obtained automatic qualification for the 2022 Britain’s Strongest Man U80KG. That competition will take place on July 24, 2022, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
