Truck Pull

The fourth event required the competitors to pull a humongous truck for undefined length in the fastest time possible.

Haraldsson won the event with a sub-28-second time. However, only one second separated the following seven competitors. Every point mattered, so Níelsson and Gudmundsson finished second and third, respectively.

Níelsson won the event by being the only one to press four implements. However, Haraldsson`s second-place finish pretty much secured him the win in the 2022 Strongest Man In Iceland contest overall.
