The weight of the implements ranged from 18-kg (39-lb) to 26-kg (57-lb).
While the majority of athletes did manage to reach the final sandbag, only two of them succeeded in tossing it over the beam. The faster of the two was Péter Juhászm, who finished the challenge in a time of 21.19 seconds, which gave him the win.
In turn, Oskar Ziółkowski’s time of 27.74 seconds was only good enough for a second-place finish, ahead of Mika Törrö who was the fastest out of the athletes that completed four bag tosses.

The third block proved to be too heavy for any competitor to lift. In fact, even the second block was a very difficult challenge, which only three athletes managed to achieve. Evans Nana was the quickest to lift two blocks, which gave him his first and only event win of the competition.
Ervin Toots lifted his second implement seven seconds after Nana, thus finishing in second place. The third place went to Andrea Invernizzi, who was nearly 30 seconds slower than Toots.

However, the total distance that they had to cover was 25 meters.
Mika Törrö clearly enjoyed the format of the event, as he was the fastest man to complete the task. His time came out to 51.02 seconds, which gave him a significant lead ahead of the others. Since no one managed to even get close to Mike, he ended up taking the max points.
Ryan Bennett was the only other man who finished the event in under one minute, but he was on the edge of it with a time of 59.27 seconds. Andrea Invernizzy secured another high-scoring result, placing third, five seconds behind Ryan.
