Why fans over the world are unhappy with Björnsson
When Björnsson announced the challenge, fans all over the world decided to sign up for the contest. However, some fans were in for a shock for the reason that only individuals from the United States and Canada could take part in the competition.
Venting their anger on social media, some fans also expressed disappointment that Australia couldn’t participate. Another fan also pointed out an ironic situation. “He is from Iceland yet he makes a challenge only for Americans and Canadians. Nice job Thor.”
