Hafthor Bjornsson is among the strongest men in history. The Iceland native is the third most decorated strongman in history behind Lithuanian Zydrunas Savickas and Polish strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski. However, Hafthor is the only strength athlete to win three prestigious events in the same year. In 2018, Hafthor won World’s Strongest Man, Europe’s Strongest Man, and the Arnold Strongman Classic.

“Thor” also had a short but successful boxing career after retiring from competitive strongman in 2020. His knockout win over strongman rival Eddie Hall was his most significant victory. However, “Thor” is indicating a comeback. He is regularly updating fans on social media with training clips.

The former champion educated his followers
In one of his latest Instagram stories, Bjornsson showed his fans a mayonnaise jar. “You can never trust what they say in the front,” said Bjornsson at the beginning of the video. The former champion drew his followers’ attention toward the label. “This here says made with extra virgin olive oil,” said Hafthor. However, the front label didn’t disclose the core ingredient.
