0:29.4	Eddie Hall or Halfthor?
0:31.8	Martins.
0:32.7	Oh.
0:33.3	Martinez, Elise's, because he maintained his integrity, stayed positive.
0:39.0	And he kept true to the spirit of the iron, which is about coming together.
0:43.2	Not coming together to punch each other in the face over a one kilo gym lift.
0:46.8	Difference.
0:47.4	I mean, come on, folks.
0:48.9	Hey, Eric, are you willing to give a hot take right now on whether or not you think it's a valid lift?
