Event 1: Truck Pull

To kick off the competition, athletes had one minute to pull a massive 15,000-kilogram truck for 20 meters. Success depended on strength and leg drive combined with timing and technique.

Surprisingly, Spain’s 🇪🇸 Juan Ferrer was the fastest, crossing the finish line in just 31.37 seconds. His explosive power gave him an early advantage and energized the crowd. Italy’s 🇮🇹 Andrea Invernizzi and Argentina’s 🇦🇷 Gianluca Ardenghi followed closely, both finishing within a second.

Andrea Invernizzi 🇮🇹 was unbeatable here, clearing all five bags in 20.03 seconds. Alexandre Hulin 🇫🇷 and Uriel Gutiérrez 🇲🇽 also completed all five but were slightly slower.

Argentina’s Gianluca Ardenghi 🇦🇷 turned in the best time: 23.5 seconds. He pushed hard in the closing moments, hoping to close the gap on Invernizzi.
