Evidently, this was Dixon’s second world record at the Rogue Record Breakers event. The first was when she did a marvelous job at the Thor’s Hammer Hold event. Unlike the Men’s event, the women had to hold the 50-lb hammer. The strongwoman excelled in this while holding it for a notable 49.15 seconds. In fact, Dixon broke the world record set by Rebecca Roberts for 39.09 seconds.
