Author: The World's Strongest Man Arena Tour 2019, which took place in Manchester, concluded on Saturday, September 7 . Among the strongman luminaries who competed were Polish strongman Mateusz Kieliszkowski, who took silver at World's Strongman 2019 , Scotland's Stoltman Brothers, American Robert Oberst, Iron Biby, " T-Rex" Evan Singleton and Ukraine's Oleksii Novikov.

There were 5 disciplines in total. A 350kg deadlift with axle, 100kg dumbbell made of steel and stone, walking with 450kg car, legendary columns of Hercules and atlases (concrete balls).
Deadlift 350kg with axle
The first discipline that awaited the competitors was the 350kg deadlift with auto axle. Three giants - Novikov, Felix and Bishop- managed the most repetitions(seven). Second in this discipline was T. Stoltman with 6 repetitions. The third place with 5 repetitions was taken by Brunning and Shivlyakov.
100 kg dumbbell
In the second discipline the competitors had to fight with a barbell, which was made of iron and stones. The challenge for the strongmen was to perform as many repetitions as possible with this unprecedented barbell. The best with the second discipline was Mateusz Kieliszkowski, who managed to get the 100g barbell over his head nine times!

Atlases
The last discipline that awaited the competitors was the relocation and lifting of the atlases. Before this discipline,Iron Baby and Novikov shared the first place, Kieliskowski defended his second position and Singleton and Brunning shared the third place.
T. Stoltman scored his first win at this event, managing to move all the atlases and place them on the barrels in just 20.88 seconds. Kieliskowski, however, left nothing to chance and handled this event very easily, finishing just half a second behind Stoltman! Old school Mark Felix is definitely not retiring just yet, as he took an amazing 3rd place in this event!
Results
Huge congratulations to Kieliskowski, who once again proved that he is really "loaded" this year, winning his second Giants Live trophy and retaining his Tour Finals Champion title! A big round of applause is deserved for Ben Brunning who shocked the world of the strong. The Ukrainian Oleskii Novikov, who was tipped by many as the eventual winner, finished in third place.
