Monday’s Hot Clicks: ‘The Mountain’ Loses World’s Strongest Man Crown

Thor Bjornsson is no longer “The Mountain” and now he’s no longer the World’s Strongest Man.

The hulking Icelander (6'9", over 400 pounds) best known for playing the enormous Gregor Clegane on Game of Thrones won the World’s Strongest Man competition last year for the first time in his career. This year, though, he’ll have to settle for being only the third-strongest man in the world.

This year’s WSM competition was held over the weekend in Florida and the winner was 28-year-old Latvian-born American Martins “The Dragon” Licis, who earned his first-ever podium finish at the event.
