Ashley Telford produced one of the most insane performances of the entire weekend, as she did not only win the event but instead put up a dominant display of grip strength. Telford held the pillars for over one minute and ten seconds and thus beat all 12 remaining athletes in the women’s division.

The men opened up with Fingal’s Fingers, while the women first took on the Sled Pull. The remainder of the event was the same for both divisions, with the only difference being the weight of the implements. Men flipped a 499-kg (1,100-lb) tire three times, while the women performed the same task with a 227-kg (610.7-lb) implement. They then had to carry a 227-kg (500.4-lb) / 147-kg (324.1-lb) implement up five steps.
Trey Mitchell closed out the competition with his fourth event win. However, Nick Guardione’s sixth-place finish was more than enough for him to become 2026 North America’s Strongest Man.
