While most people were sitting by the campfire roasting marshmallows and soaking up the sunshine by the pool this summer, ASEA’s athletes were bringing their own kind of heat. From races and matches to medals and world records, our athletes scorched their competition, and some even managed the impossible.
Check out this summer’s major highlights from some of our ASEA athletes.
Strongman Eddie Hall
Eddie snagged the title of the UK’s strongest man for the fifth year in a row. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, earlier this summer, Eddie set a new world record for the deadlift when he picked up 463KG (1020.74 lbs).
