Social media brought challenges online, with people competing in various tasks to keep their followers entertained. Among a wide range of challenges that went viral online, food challenges never go outdated. Now, the Strongman Hafthor Bjornsson joined the club and participated in a food contest with two professionals.

The boxing champion appears to be recovering from the dark phase after his pec tear and surgery earlier this year. He keeps his fans entertained with his videos of late. The Mountain recently uploaded his video competing with Randy Santel and Katina to finish a fast food challenge.

Hafthor Bjornsson gets into a food coma

The Icelandic Strongman was announced as the World’s Strongest Man in 2018 and inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame in 2023. The 34-year-old is fond of challenges and often takes part in them to bring an unknown facet to his life. So, he recently took part in a 2.5 Kg Burger eating challenge with professionals Katina and Randy Santel.

The challenge includes eating burgers weighing around 5.5 lbs and fries in 45 minutes. While the professionals were striding ahead in completing their task, Bjornsson struggled to push those massive cheesy burgers down his throat. As Katina was finishing her quota with superspeed, Santel opined, “Right now, I think two six-foot-five and above guys are losing to a five-foot-two girl, so we need to speed up.”

While witnessing Thor experiencing a food coma midway, a concerned Katina said, “I hope you got an aisle seat on the plane.” Santel also applauded Bjornsson and said, “I’ve got to say Thor is impressing me as well you’re doing a great job.” Santel finished his task within 23 minutes and 55 seconds, and Katina wrapped up her fries and burgers in 34 minutes and 10 seconds. However, Thor discontinued eating midway as he was filled to the extent of throwing up. His plate was left with a burger and three fourth of fries. Earlier, the strongman struggled to lift his wife for a social media challenge.

The Strongman and his wife’s social media challenge

The Game of Thrones actor is an ardent social media user who keeps his fans updated about his life as well as participates in social media trends. In one such challenge, the Strongman had to lift his wife with one hand before making her sit on his massive shoulders. 

While many would expect the Strongman to ace the challenge without much difficulty, Bjornsson failed twice before completing the task a third time. The first attempt had his wife barely reach his shoulders while the couple managed to make it by the second attempt. It wasn’t an easy process. However, they nailed it in the third.
