It is measured by time, unless the competitors can not do it, than it is measured by distance covered. Mabaso managed to come out triumphant after beating Chris Van der Linde by under three-tenths of a second.

ATLAS STONES

In the atlas stone event, competitors are required to lift 4 atlas stones whose weight ranges from 130 kilograms (286.6 pounds) to 205 kilograms (452 pounds). Athletes are ranked based on how many stones they lift and in what time they manage to do them. Mabaso’s fourth place finish was enough for him to edge out the victory in this year’s Africa’s Strongest Man.
