Last August, one of the best stongman in the world, Hafthor Bjornsson, announced the end of his career. He made the announcement at Iceland's Strongest Man 2020, which was the last competition of his career. At the same time, he won this domestic competition and thus retired with another valuable victory.

He expressed his feelings on social media at the time as follows:

"Iceland's strongest man for the tenth time in a row. 6 disciplines, 6 wins. Great way to end my strongman career. Just starting another journey and I'm excited. It's been a great time in the strongman sport, but I've decided to take a long break. I may never come back, but never say never. I'm 31 years old and I might come back in a few years if my heart desires. Right now my heart is telling me I need to be healthy for may family and do the best for them."

Hafthor, however, reappeared at the Record Breakers' Rogue Invitational, held Oct. 30 at Dell Diamond Stadium in Austin, Texas. Bjornsson came for one particular event, the 56 pound (25.4 kilogram) Weight Over Bar. He ended up clearing 20 feet 3 inches, breaking his previous record!

Hafthor Björnsson has been with Strongman since 2010. During this time he has managed to participate in a total of 73 international and national competitions. In addition, Hafthor has won 38 competitions, the most prestigious of which are World's Strongest Man, Arnold Strongman Classic and Europe's Strongest Man!

After setting a new record, Björnsson has rekindled his love for the strongman sport and it is possible that he may decide to return in full force.

"It's really tempting to come back, especially to compete in a show like this. I haven't made up my mind today, but I can tell you that I might be back."
