Eddie Hall, a British weightlifter known as 'The Beast'
almost died after becoming the first man in history to
lift half a ton - 500kg. The 28-year-old fell to his
knees and passed out moments after the feat while his
wife Alexandra and two children could be seen in the
crowd looking worried but broke into smiles when he got
to his feet.
He completed the challenge at the World Deadlift
Championships at Leeds Arena. Now he wants to
compete and win the World's Strongest Man
competition.
He said : "That nearly killed me. The pressure on my
body was surreal. I passed out after. I had nose
bleeds. It's not healthy doing something like that. But
I've done it. I'm sure it will be in the history books
for a very long time. I don't want to do it again but if
it comes to the point where somebody breaks it,
hell...I may just do.
"It's that great feeling, Like the first man on the
moon, the first man to run a mile in under four
minutes. And now I'm the first to deadlift half a ton.
It's history and I'm very proud to be a part of it.
"The World's Strongest Man title is my dream. And I
will keep pushing the limits until that happens. It's
going to happen."
