Last night, 11 of the strongest men in the world sought out to take the title of Europe's Strongest Man. Another three men joined them on the platform for the World Deadlift Championships. Now that the chalk dust has settled and most of the athletes are making their way back home, a few of the men took to social media with reactions to the event.

Translation: Today I became Europe's third strongest man, shared second place with @thorbjornsson but he had two branch wins more than me so I went down to third place!! I'm damn pleased and proud, I needed this after all the damage has been. I'm still in the game motherfuckers, cheers.
