Icelandic powerlifter Hafthor Bjornsson was crowned 2018 World's Strongest Man on Sunday after winning three of the final weekend's six events in Manila, Philippines.
Bjornsson, famous for his role as Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane on Game of Thrones, finished second in the 20-ton truck pull before winning the loading race to secure his maiden first-place finish in this competition.

His victory also made him the first athlete to win World's Strongest Man, Europe's Strongest Man and the Arnold Strongman Classic all in the same calendar year.
Bjornsson finished runner-up in World's Strongest Man for the third time in 2017, but he finally made that vital step up to the peak of the podium, ending up a substantial 6.5 points ahead of his nearest rival on Sunday.
