World's Strongest Woman 2003

what must david livingstone have thought when he first came upon one of the great wonders of the world the Victoria Falls and what would he say now 150 years later if he knew they were to be the setting for eight of the most powerful women on earth to compete for the world's strongest woman trophy we're going to see seven events and eight women but not the defending champion Jill Mills who's decided to move into the world of power the thing who's going to succeed her though as champion Oh Oh all this may once have been a novelty but now it's deadly serious this is the third year of the world's strongest woman event it's why Dalton because this year we've got athletes from track and field we've got weight lifters and we've got women all trained specifically on these kind of events all these ingredients add up to a great competition well flipping tires has long been a staple of strong man and strong women events and we start this year's world's strongest woman championship with this chap now Jamie how tough is this it's very tough this tires 200 kilograms the length of the course is 20 metres so they've got to flip the tail around eight times I've got very big hands and I'm finding it tough to drip this tread so I'm sure the athletes are going to find it hard to Jesse Morneau representing Canada stems from Winnipeg dairy farmer and she's competed in wal strongest woman twice before next to her LeAnn Blin from the United States former power lifter and now she's a coach at Arizona State University Annetta Floyd check from Poland is next gym instructor and light Blin she's also a power lifter and a former weightlifter as well and finally in this first heat Julie Dunkley representing Great Britain she comes from Dartford for his seventh in the Commonwealth Games Shoplet and now she's turning her attention to the sport of bobsleigh about a moment for these four women good the referee has always dr. Douglas Edmonds away we go while strongest woman is underway and already Freud checked in the middle the polish athlete going well that is Josie more know of Canada she's a little bit behind the other three at the moment and don't Lee and Floyd check almost together where's Leon Blin perhaps a little bit on the short side you need long levers and you've got to be very powerful as well for this event and Floyd check is flying Dunkley in second place of the time being there she goes the pole has got it over line first Dunkley in second place good time for Floyd check 28.7 to and Julie Dunkley 3109 and Jesse Morneau while she is the most experienced athlete out there but she's also the slowest at the moment LeAnn Blin has finished and Jesse mono is really struggling but a good start for all four and especially an enter Floyd check and Julie Dunkley representing Great Britain and I think the polls time may be tough to beat by the other four did you expect to win this is my worst event I'm pleased I'm in the lead let's see what happened melody our next four getting ready Jennifer Ehle with the only newcomer in this group comes from Columbus in a high of 5 feet 10 inches tall and an English teacher next to her Jacquie young runner up last year so our strong woman from airship she's really going to go for it this time that's for sure next to her very experienced is hey Nico via nemi from Finland as you heard John say she's finished second and third in the last two strong women events and finally Anna Rosen from Sweden she finished fourth last year former gladiator and power lifter one meter 75 tall weighs in at 90 kilos get behind the tile so the time to beat 28.7 to buy floor checker poland and away we go well I tell you what Jackie yanked his second from the far side has got a lot of work to do already she's behind any gravy anemy and there is the American Jennifer L wood and look at this it's the two nearest the camera commune Emmy and Anna Rosen and Rosen just goes into the lead one more flip should do it now who's going to get it Anna Rosen gets it just ahead of hey Nico Vienna me and I think they will finish in first and second place overall way under 30 seconds in fact twenty four point three eight by Anna Rosen that was a cracking start for the Scandinavian countries Sweden and Finland in first and second place that was a great race where you were you watching her yes I did I come after you and were you watching her oh yes and I knew that she's very good with a tire and I did I tried to give the balance of the rhythm and I sure she was she was behind me in the beginning and then I saw she's getting me and I I tried to do my best but I just couldn't get her you know she got me and that's okay I feel slow in thought when it came after yourself yeah oh I was attempt to finish it I finished the course but after I came across flat like if you with a penis or I know I thought naw she's continued well she was runner-up last year but the key question after that first event how much is that injury go to hamper Jackie Young's challenge this year we've got 170 kilograms of weight in the basket the athletes have to bend down hold the bar squeeze and stand up straight and they after do this as many times as they can slowly and Blaine the first to attempt the deadlift a hundred and seventy kilos that's three hundred and eighty pounds plus and those straps will help with the grip it's not just the quads that are gonna suffer here it's the lower back the shoulders and of course the hands though and Douglas Edwin says down that counters Wang though she's not using her legs all that much but she's got a very strong back though and this is an athlete who's super fit all-round she's a fitness coach and a strength coach in Arizona State University in the USA while legs shaking just a little bit you can see just how long her arms are they're stretching out on this wait five reps complete it can she do another one there is a time limit of 75 seconds she's well inside that just shaking a little bit so she's over the six reps mark great venue for this event good crowd watching over the minute mark now so it's not just those muscles I was talking about that will suffer her breathing and her heart will be pumping one more rep to make eight she's got it above the knees can she lock out yes she can a good effort and I faintly and Lynn has had enough she's run out of time anyway eight reps and that was a very good effort indeed for the American one hundred and fifty percent effort um it was a hard hard pull and I wasn't it wasn't quitting I wasn't giving up time was gonna let go before I let go of that bar what's happening to your body when you're doing something like that it's going what the heck are you doing to me he's going through every every possible emotion feeling it's crazy well Jennifer L woods body decided the whole thing was crazy and she failed to make one repetition Joe say more no of Canada did rather better and she managed by left well it's got one now and Jackie young I have to say Jackie's put on a wee bit of weight since last year looks as though it's muscle weight and she's looking good that's already three reps completed know a student rehearse from Asha such a dedicated athlete and she's going well here the Lord of course still the ambling at eight repetitions oh and she's got seven one more to tie with the American and she does it now she's got a chance of going in the lead remember she for a second overall last year and this looks good when she needs it the first event was quite clear by hair standards can she get 10 she's got to lock out she must stand up not sure she can do it certainly the referee has disallowed that one so she's gonna have another attempt ship well within the time limit let's take your time she's already shaking her head I wonder if the mental strain has got to as well no she's not gonna do it surely so Jackie young finishes on marine but she is in the lead that was a solid effort from Jackie Young well done happy enough they're happier and all the thing guys when you're looking I wonder the airplay one of the first ones to war they tried to beat the person in front you laugh I'd get all stick or they'll be think I can t be like I suppose after what him tire flip has a bit less all work well Julie Dunkley hasn't had a huge amount of time to prepare for this competition so now war one of Britain's best shot put his cope with this but very easy and that goes up for number two well Julie is a tremendous all-rounder I've commentated on her quite a few times in terms of the shot putting exploits but now she's looking at bobsleigh as another challenge and already she's managed to get into the Great Britain team so she's going well in that sport as well and this is another string to her bow quite sure what the judge is saying that which is alright for number five yes she is but it's still Jackie Young of Scotland and Great Britain is in the lead well the conditions here are so so warm it was a very good chance that we're that i dead if you could cramp up if you haven't taken on enough fluid jolt already she's looking exhausted and she's only on six reps at the moment just stretching out was all good athletes do but let's not forget there is a hundred and seventy kilos on that contraption and Julie's a little bit unsteady will the judge give her that one maybe she's not wearing any shoes that gets a better position formal lifts and Julie Dunkley finishes on seven she's absolutely exhausted but she's in third place for the time being and let her fly check now the pole is only 21 years old but then her young career she's managed to win so many weightlifting and powerlifting titles so I wonder how she'll cope with this that looks pretty good strong legs and especially a strong lower back as he Luck's out there for number four I have to say this is looking easy so far very easy in fact she cruises through six reps and now moves on to seven total concentration by Floyd check and now she ties with Jackie Jung mine this is looking ominous and she's in the lead there's only a couple of lifters after this they will be sweating not because of the heat necessarily but because of this performance by an Etta Floyd check 25 seconds to go just a little rest that's quite applicable in this sort of contest it wouldn't be a weight lifting of course now can she get a couple reps out to finish it off with would have been to the legs then she walks out that's 12 well this is a fabulous performance in a very first wall strongest woman contest going for number 13 as she gets it and that is the end of time for another Floyd check her boy oh boy has she produced a magnificent performance well that is as close as you can get to a weightlifting competition in world strongest woman and she really has done well that was a fantastic achievement how happy are you with that I'm very happy and I hope to win this event but I think Anna was based on well we'll have to wait for Anna she won the first event so she goes last here and it's hey Nico V&M e who goes next well Haney in terms of experience really has done it all in powerlifting in strongest woman competitions she has finished in second and third place in the last two years here and she would really love to win it so for reps completed the primary school teacher and what a teacher she must be she never has any trouble with discipline that's for sure so determined thoroughly professional in the way she prepares for these competitions and now she's got six one more to tie with Julie Dunkley let's not forget that Jackie Young is in second place at the moment so the Scott has done well and haney well she has drawn with Julie Dunkley can she go ahead of one of Britain's best shot putters and she's got an unusual technique gets it above the knees then walks out as a secondary movement and she has got eight little jug leans back and tries to lock out this is every inch an athlete's event a little bit rugged but she hasn't been given nine she finishes on eight and there's only Anna Rosen to go now that was a gutsy performance by Haney Kobe enemy of Finland it's not much fun there hey no it's nothing and if you think it is go and try hey Robbie Robbie well maybe John in Vidale should try this and tell us whether it is fun afterwards but 170 kilos no disrespect John but it may be beyond you it's certainly not beyond ana Rosa just waiting for the referee to signal down is number two wait for signal though well we have a net a floor check thought of Anna Rose and she admires the performances of the Swede but Canlis we get 13 reps to draw a level with a pole it's an enormous target Jackie young in second place on the lane and then of course we've got hey Niek over here me and Lynn of the United States they're both on eight and that is what Rosen wars on but she's got nine now now then can she get one more to go ahead of the Scott it's gonna be tough as she be given a yes she has she's in second place all on her own and surely after having seen that last effort she can't beat Floyd check now but she's gonna give it a shot she goes for 11 she's dropped it so that means Sweden in second place and unfortunately for Julie Dunkley she moves down one more place but what a victory it was by an Etta Floyd check 13 reps unbelievable why are you trying there just to get 10 to come second yeah I know that I've never done 14 so I have to go pretend okay so are you happy with second place yeah I am a bit of tactical now's from a Swede there to secure seven points in second place but Floyd check out on our own with 13 repetitions and it means now it's pretty tight three and a half points between the top three you this is the log lift the logs weigh 70 kilograms that's the equivalent of a fridge it's got to be lifted above your head as many times as possible and this is going to test upper-body strength especially shoulders and arms LeeAnn Blin from the United States nearest the camera and then Julie Dunkley he's had a pretty good start to this competition I have to say and being a shot butter Julie Dungey has got tremendously powerful arms and shoulders and legs come into this as well 11 stone is the weight 70 kilograms so imagine lifting an 11 stone person above your head that is an awesome prospect well each woman has a judge next to them and this is LeeAnn Blin and gets that one and so does Julie Dunkley well done good live live it really is an awesome prospect lifting this weight but there is extra pressure here let's not forget there on public display there's a lot at stake here the title of the wall strongest woman that's different when you're in a gymnasium just doing it in front of your mates that's for sure and they've got three each that's good well if you're sitting in an armchair at home just imagine if there's somebody in the room and weighs around about 11 stone or 70 kilos lifting them above your head not once not twice not three times but four times for Julie Dunkley and Blin really is struggling with number four at the moment and Dunkley moves to five well Julie Dunkley is a tremendous all-rounder she's got speed she's got power and she's demonstrated that on the slopes of the bobsleigh circuit where she's representing Great Britain now and maybe trying to head towards the Olympic Games as a break woman in one of Britain's bobsleigh teams well Blin really is struggling and that is six for Julie Dunkley as the time runs out good performance once again for the British athlete for Julie Dunkley how good that gonna be compared to the rest of it to the rest the double girls I'm not sure I think Annette L will win this one she told me she's done ten reps I'm trained inside has pretty pretty good the mind games going on even at this early stage Jennifer Ehle were those struggling big-time just one repetition for the American and the same as well for the Canadian Joe Seymour no just one Jackie young nearest the camera hey Nico view enemy from Finland on the far side look and away we go what a target Julie Dunkley has set six repetitions and after Jackie and Haney have had their attempts the top two in the competition so far Floyd check in Anna Rosen will have their turn but for the time being we're watching hey Nico V enemy one of the most experienced women in this competition and Jackie just looking a bit unsteady there no the judge gives her that rep she's got three now go via nemi rolls it up a chest and pushes pushes pushes she gets number four and so does Jackie young good effort well Jackie really came on strongly last year to take second place in the second half of the competition you just get the feeling that if either Haney or Jackie are going to take this title they've got to make their move here one more rep to draw level with Julie Dunkley come on Jackie a big push all she's lusted Haney's just taking her time a to movement lift up to the chest drives up on the legs she's got it so go be an Emmy level with Dunkley Jackie Young looks absolutely exhausted and she's finished great effort for Finland top of the table with Julie Dunkley and Jackie Young finishes for the time being let me emphasize that in third place Annetta floyd check knows the camera and Anna Rosen on the far side the overall leader but only by a single point from the pole the floor check aw she's such an accomplished weightlifter nevermind a strong woman and a Rosen a lot of power in those arms and legs and that look pretty easy let contrast the techniques and a Rosa just add a camera they're almost just pushing the weight up and locking out with our arms let's watch this one little push locks it out and down lots of bruises on those arms from some of the previous events but what's the drive up look at that hardly using the arms at all it's all legs Rosen's struggling a wee bit hey Floyd Qiang on four and now five that is superb straight up to the chest and get six now she's drawn level with Govan Emmy and Julie Dunkley and Rosen is still struggling to try and get six and Floyd Shakers going the lead Poland in the lead and if it stays like this we're going to have a new over lead and she's got number eight as well and a rosin is really struggling here she's attempted that six lived about three times fails it eventually and that flloyd check has done it she's wanted Anna Rosen finishes equal fourth with Jacky yang and Julie Dunkley equal second did she know how Anna was getting on next door to her every Jasmine I was worried that she was a bit quicker at the beginning so I sped up it's pretty tough it's hot here I'm difficult to breathe okay I did okay though Russell well that's okay and there's okay and that's very okay for Anna Floyd check eight repetitions giving her eight points and it means that she is now leading after three events for those of you at home that watch the world Strongest Man you'll be familiar with the stones this is the same kind of event but instead of loading stones were loading steel boxes ranging from 55 kilograms to 70 to 80 to this monster of 95 kilograms and for any of you ladies that want to try this at home lift a 15 and a half stone guy onto the roof of your car go on give it a go well just remember it was Jamie Reeves who said that not me and now it's LeeAnn Blin on the right hand side up against Jackie young LeeAnn certainly in need of big points and Jackie young this is where she came on strong last year and let's not forget she finished runner-up to the champion Jill Mills who's not here this year the first one weighing in at 55 kilos away we go 110 pounds and Tinky made it looks so light the second one a little bit of a problem there the first time for Jackie 70 kilos over 150 pounds now Lee Ann's on the short side certainly a good three inches shorter than Jackie so having a bit of a problem and Jackie is absolutely flying now can she get 95 kilos over 200 pounds up on that please yes she can superb by Jackie Young 27.6 - that is a fantastic time especially when you take into account the weight of that last block 95 kilos and that is the block that lies in wait for LeAnn but she's got to get this one at first and she's all over the place and Jackie young just a spectator at the moment and that is going to be a huge time to beat for everybody else well you can't say that the Amblin is not a Trier but she really is struggling you've got to get that block much much higher on the chest there's no way she's gonna get it up from there so her score will count as two blocks but Jackie young completed all four in a very fast time let's that's given the rest something to think about hasn't it I know her north clay pleased since without event and these can events are actually more marking I take be thin like this joint events like that him and you're doing good it this one was good about last year and and just already strength to do it again this year well things still not going well for the North Americans Joe Seymour no lifting just two in twenty nine point five nine and Jennifer L word two in nineteen point one two seconds well the boma or the meeting place right on the banks of the Zambezi absolutely packed for this event and Julie dunk Lee's got a real chance to impress now and she's alongside Haney Covey anemy Douglas Edmonds sat in the background and he and Jamie Reeves have devised all of these events for these strong women so here we go the leading tying 2762 by Jackie young and Haney is just in the lead Julie needs a good score here just finding those blocks a little bit awkward but that was the 70 kilogram block and away and now she's catching kayvyun Emmy she's just gonna roll that up under a chest and that she's finding very awkward and so it's going to be an Emmy and tried you know he gets it up so she's got a head of Julie Dunkley if they don't get the fourth block up the time taken to get the third up on top of those drums will count look at the determination on the fins face she can't quite negotiate that square block and Julie is absolutely exhausted she's gone and Haney is giving it everything there is heavy believe me and that just shows you how well Jackie young did Julie absolutely flat out I have actually seen her do the splits before now she's cheering on Haney but she can't quite get it she's gonna push those arms up when it comes crashing to the ground a few seconds left but they are done they're finished and so Jackie young is still in the lead 2762 can anybody beat that Anna Rosen on the left and let a floyd chick of poland the overall leader after the last event two and a half points ahead of Rosen and this really is a head-to-head it could have a bearing on who becomes champion eventually forth last year was Anna Rosen and the newcomer Floyd Trent has really set this competition alight away we go that was easy fifty kilos both of them flying rose on the tour of the two that could be an advantage and Rosen is really stolen a march here on number four but 95 kilos is a massive weight up on the chest and it's up oh my goodness that was fabulous and the Rosen has blown the time set by Jackie Young apart he's certainly in the lead but Jackie young will finish in second place now Floyd check can't quite manage that Julie dunk Lee's gonna finish in a round about fifth place Floyd it's almost got it she's got it now just outside 42 seconds but what a finish by Anna Rosen who certainly closed the gap on the overall leader you were running yeah I did yeah it was almost too easy for you it looks like a bottom but I was very full of a dinner line and I know anything was very fast and very strong in this so I have what I get again get it all here because you maybe were disappointed this morning yes I was so thinking Now or Never how happy are you with that yeah you were very brave to get the fourth one up tell us about the fourth one I found it really tough it's my first time at this event and I haven't really learned the correct technique so there's confirmation of Rosen's victory and well done Jackie young back in contention and looking in the form that she was 12 months ago but it means there's just half a point separating the top two have you this is the squat it's another powerlifting exercise but this time the athletes take the weight on the back of the neck after that they bend the knees and go down until it upper thighs a puddle or with the floor then it's a big drive with the legs pushing the hips forward and the head coming back until this study rate it's more repetitions wins and this is with double body weight hence Matilda and Freda from the USA Liam Linder here goes Lianne Blin a fantastic crowd here to watch the squat lift 175 close and that's just a tight shot of 400 pounds twenty seven and a half stone imagine lifting good work three nine stone individuals what not once but many many times and as time goes on she's going to start puffing and blowing a little bit great gulps of oxygen every time she lifts and those knees wrap very tightly indeed to protect the knee joint that's so important when you're squatting a fitness instructor from the University of Arizona is going well here and fitness is what this event is all about not just strength as well now she's beginning to blow a bit 12 reps that's excellent Douglas Edmonds the referee this bit of apparatus designed and built by Jaime Ruiz what a form that innovation has gone into this event and the two ladies on the back they're looking very very calm cool and collected and this is good 60 rent all together by the American and she's run out of time but what a performance that is Lee Ann's best performance so far I'm sure once to get those wraps off as quickly as you can they're wrapped so tightly around the knee but what a good performance by Lee Anne Blin and that again I think is gonna be tough to beat by anybody else 16 is a very tough target anybody else how do you feel about that feel pretty good I feel pretty good some good girls left to go after me Haneda Anna I think I think they could be pretty close hopefully not over 16 but I think they could be pretty close well poor old Jennifer Ehle woods wretched competition continues got a single squat live for the American JC Morneau finding the going tough as you can see from that face but she managed five and then we had the two British contestants Julie Dunkley she managed nine and she was followed by Jackie young last year's runner-up and going better now she managed nine as well from Athens Oh Britain's representatives Julie and Jackie tied on nine reps each I think they'll be disappointed with that but now it's the turn of hey Nico via nemi now last year the squat was a definite weakness she's not really what you might call the perfect shape for a squatter the way she's tall she's quite lean I don't I wonder if she's made any improvements this time good luck that looks quite good wait for it he was wearing a super suit that's very very sick point woven lycra to support the lower back big wraps on these she's even got ankle supports as well squat and got fine work and one be jolly and Jackie's total was nine she's heading towards that now and that's what you're breathing as well a big gulp event in and then out the traffic that she has draw level with the Britons as he's gone ahead of them this is a massive improvement by the thing from what we expected now she's now heading towards the target emilienne Blin oh one of the helpers there is saying are you finished and she says no I want to carry on this is very impressive from any decent enough she watched the stands push back in and 15 reps is good for second place for the time being such an improvement from last year that was superb by hey Nico view nemi so you fell one short are you disappointed are you really pleased however I please last year I did one rep no 15 so I'm very pleased but you know what I can't hear anything stays a huge pressure in my head I just see stars and can hear properly normal food Anna Rosen of Sweden has to follow that only one more competitor to go after this and that is the overall leader flow check from Poland what can Anna Rosen do all my competitive power lifter so she knows her way around this sort of exercise squat to even squat and looks pretty comfortable wait for it oh look Douglas Edmonds just saying wait for the signal don't go down too soon good luck that's sick what well she's only half a point behind the overall leader at the moment so needs a particularly good effort here the Anne Boleyn the American leads on 16 kovin Emmy 15 well in some way down is Julie Dunkley and Jackie young on 9 well that total has been surpassed and now ro and what's got 30 this to draw level with coiba near me and she's done it good performance by the Swedes this to draw level with the leader she's God man as well she grab one more hour she's lost it she just lost it on the last lift she needed to go into the lead so she's drawn level with plane of the United States and we've got two women at the moment who are in first place just one competitor to go so you're equal how do you think yeah we'll see you know wait and see I think she is gonna go 400 Rome well as super confidence from Hanna rosin on what flightcheck is capable of and I must say she looked very relaxed here but in terms of Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting so many titles have been won by an esse over her young life she's been a competitive lifter since she was 16 she's not got massive legs but look at the power good luck what I'm not sure about a hundred but 16 would seem to be a reasonable target that was the lead at the moment good left squat a half a point ahead of Anna Rosen overall before this event if she wins this she's going to extend that lead good luck and that's equal with Dunkley and young not a past easily left squat going well love this looks ominous I have to say what absolutely strict judging 15 one more to draw level and she's got it one more to go into the lead as he gets that as well that is super but she carries on if anybody's told us she's winning and she's won over 20 now she begins to blow and tough just a little bit but who can blame her she says that's enough she just wanted to put on a bit of a show and could we be looking at the champion we'll have to wait and see the still a couple of events to go but that was a massive effort by an Etta Floyd chick and she now goes at least two points ahead of everybody else why did he's not stopped at 17 what was the point of going on that delusion um I wasn't sure how many reps are done but it's better to do too many than not enough Vivien things from you yeah well she was obviously so much in the zone so focused on what she was doing that she remained oblivious to the previous scores and here's the score to concern her most two points between the top two next up its the your grace it's all about leg strength but it's a fine line between speed and balance the length that of course is 25 meters and the your waist 220 kilograms that's about the same weight as this fellow here and by the way the loser gets thrown in only joking so here goes Jackie young woof well she's only got two events to prove herself here and move up from fourth place but she is a long way behind koi be an Emmy Rosen and Floyd check so here goes the last romesha all she's struggling a wee bit just before the ten meter mark I can see how unsteady she looks at the moment that yoke is wobbling backwards and forwards and over 200 kilos that's 440 pounds plus well she's just started again but though wobbling cages are giving her all sorts of problems and now just shaking out her left foot there a left leg touch of cramp perhaps in these very hot conditions and just feeling her Achilles tendon what if that hurts she really ought to call it a day she's putting a lot of weight on her right leg but I think she's finished and Jackie Young has got a problem there's no doubt about that the next stop Shirley has got to be the physios ten and here comes the team doctor he's going to take a close look at that achilles tendon I wonder if Jackie's campaign is over meanwhile hey Nico via nemi on the stop line smiling at the moment I'm not sure she'll be smiling once that massive weight is on her shoulders woof and here goes the third-placed a fleet at the moment just one more event to go and again looking very neat and tidy small steps but quick steps that's important heavily rat heavily supported by that belt around the midriff and she's going to finish this no doubt about that Haney going in Emmy 23.78 that is fabulous by the fin but will it be enough to win this event with only one more event to go we'll have to wait and see well Jennifer Elwood battling on and she managed nineteen point six two meters before it became too much for her for more no of Canada fifty four point two two to complete the course at a fair bit quicker than that Blin of the USA thirty three point sixty two well Jamie Reeves of course compared this apparatus to about the same weight as one of those giant crocodiles that we saw earlier I hate to say it Julie but if you want to win this you've got to make it snappy so let's go Julie Dunkley we know she's very fast over the ground without this weight she's a good sprinter she drives across the shop good circle with such speed and this is quick she's going down the course like a diamond her that is great fifteen point six six oh she's got into the lead for the first time in world strongest woman a little handstand to celebrate can she hang on to the lead and take maximum points I hope so how about that I'm well impressed it up really happy what was the hardest bit about it um it's really unstable so you have to really work hard in you in your stomach keeps they was just gonna drop great performance by Julie Dunkley now to the turn of Anna Rosen the battle for the top spot goes on between Rosen and Floyd check who's yet to go well just two points separating the top two strong women but can anybody beat the time by Julie Dunkley Anna Rosen perhaps the tallest of our competitors that may be a disadvantage but she's handling it okay at the moment over ten meters she goes past the mark set down by Jenny Jung twirl Jacky who's still in the physiotherapy tent and Anna Rosen surely is going to finish it's much much slower than Julie Dunphy but I think she's gone into second place twenty two point five three for the Swede and that surely is good enough a big point yet again Roma Poland and let a Floyd check our overall leader well it would certainly do have prospects of becoming the walls strongest woman the power of good if you can win this one but all power to Julie Dunkley for setting that very very quick time of fifteen point six six so this is a big one for an Etta Floyd check here we go oh she's going quickly this looks good bye never fly check and the polls remember have done so so well in both the men's and women's competitions ah she's down and that surely means victory now for Julie Dunkley but I think for Jake may get second place yes she does almost topples over but it is a first victory for Julie Dunkley of Great Britain what a tremendous was out there for the shot put her from Dartford in kent emphatically better than the rest of the field and what it means was just one event to go is that it's a two horse race for the biggest crown of all but it's competitive behind how far or how fast could you walk carrying 21 storms that's what's next up for the girls telling off stones in each hand 450 meters representing chilly dank Lee on the far side what a while strongest woman competition she's had for the very first time and guaranteed a fourth place but after the third place currently held by Hanako v enemy of Finland it's got to be a massive effort from Julie Dunkley Cove you nemi pretty good at this sort of event as well now then dunk Lee's gonna stay with the fin blowing hard shoulder sloping forwards you've got to keep the hips high as well otherwise you just buckle and that foot is just going to go over the line and head he's just got the lead at the moment now Julie's got to beat this woman if she wants to get on the rostrum at the end but Julie has dropped it just where she didn't want to hey Nico UNAMI is guaranteed a place on the roster which one we don't know yet and Julie dunkey I think will finish overall in 4th place it doesn't matter about the last Heat Haney's time 25.97 so it was the big battle for third place and you won it thank you you had to beat it didn't you were you looking at her at any stage yeah I was looking at her all the time Honda she was too fast and I was thinking uh you could slow down a little bit I didn't me that you could drop the weight so when I heard that she draught drop them I knew that you know that's a heads I'm gonna be the third will you go me trying to go almost too fast on them yeah I turned and I said I was just a little bit behind and half right the Sprint downer but my my poor hands gave up oh poor hunt next year yeah well done to both of them but now the medal for top spot begin Rosen Anna Rosen has got to win this event and beat an inter Floyd chick by at least four places if this young Colt is not to lift the title for the very first time it's a packed audience including all the local dignitaries here now what a climax we hope we're going to get can Anna Rosen lift the title in this last event can Annette nearest the camera hold on rody the time to be 25.97 by goby anemy analog but for Jengo miss young 21 year old has been an absolute revelation a little touch beyond the line all is required and a Rosen's got all the work to do and that's a floor jack is coming away so young so brave and so so strong she's gonna win it by a mile that is her fourth victory in the final of one strongest woman this year and she's done it at the very first attempt there is boguslav her coach absolutely delighted Anna rose and a worthy runner-up but what a champion how much does it mean to you to be world strongest woman bad as the word is inverted the future I am extremely happy as I'm the youngest competitor here but it's my first year doing this the others have been competing for many more years yes so for me it's a great achievement never above the city sure is this the best day of your life yes it's the best I think Anitha really decided this competitions she's very strong so I have been anyway well an injury sustained in the yoke event meant that Jackie young sat out the farmers wore Julie Dunkley perhaps disappointed but she undoubtedly will be back in the future as will fly Czech champion at the first time of asking making the presentations is the mayor of Livingston the local talent was named after the great Explorer and third place goes to hey Nico V enemy of Finland I wonder how many more times will see her in this level of competition Anna Rosen a Sweden moves up from fourth place last year to runner-up spot this time but behind a brilliant champion people of world song as a young 21 year old becomes the world's strongest woman today fly Schengen Poland and let's not forget Poland won the men's title as well and how many more years can we see such brilliant performances as we've seen from Anna Tsongas more individual things leisurely country of course finished in 4th place but what a champion she did it superb Lee yeah yeah you
