The Mountain has taken out the 2018 Arnold Strongman Classic.

In a series of commanding performances, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson pipped last year's winner Brian Shaw and contender Mikhail Shivlyakov from Russia.

Most impressively however, which had onlookers stunned, was his 1041 pound (or 472kg) deadlift, setting a new world record.

#arnoldstrongman2018 This is how Thor Bjornsson won the first event Bag over bar. His result is 95 lbs (43.09 kg) over 15-foot high bar (4.57 meters). Brian Shaw became second with 90 lbs. #bestofstrongman * * #bjornsson #thorbjornsson #arnoldstrongmanclassic #asc #arnold2018 #weightforheight #bagoverbar #highthrowing #themountain #ohio #columbus #rogue #strongman #strongmangram #vikingpower #icelandicpower #themountain #strongpeople

Björnsson's early lead was enough to give him some room for comfort after failing to win the Stone to Shoulder and Timber Carry events.
