Amidst an intriguing team competition like the 2022 Giants Live World’s Strongest Nation (WSN)<\/a>, there usually might be a standout performer who shines and takes their strength<\/a> to the next level. Though predicting who would thrive between Team USA (led by Martins Licis<\/a>, who replaced Robert Oberst<\/a> for undisclosed reasons) and Team UK (led by Eddie Hall<\/a>) would be impossible before the action started. On Nov. 26, 2022, in Liverpool, England, the standout happened to be Team USA’s Gabi Dixson. <\/p>\n

During the Hercules Hold portion of the contest \u2014 where the competitors must utilize their grip strength<\/a> to hold massive pillars in their hands for as long as possible \u2014 Dixson managed to hold her pillars for 1:08:61. (Note: Both teams were scored by their respective athletes’ collective time.) By the end of the competition, Dixson’s time was the second-longest of any of the participating strongmen and strongwomen<\/strong>, bested only by Team UK’s Mark Felix’s<\/a> time of 1:28:35.<\/p>\n

Felix has earned a reputation in the strength sport community when it comes to grip-strength events, winning the Hercules hold in nearly every appearance and having set the World Record for the event with 1:32 at the 2020 Europe’s Strongest Man (ESM).<\/p>\n
