Gold rush: Martin Hoi triumphed at the national truck pulling championships. The Carinthian pulled an 18-ton truck the fastest over 25 meters. With the strongest legs in Austria, the 1.95 meter tall giant fought his way to gold.

The 24th State Truck Pulling Championships in Leoben offered an impressive spectacle as the strongest men from all over Austria took to the starting line. The challenge was monumental: an 18-tonne truck had to be pulled as quickly as possible over a distance of 25 meters, and the athletes bravely took on this daunting task. Martin Hoi, the strongest man in Carinthia, was one of the outstanding participants and did not miss the opportunity to compete with 18 other athletes for the coveted title. He even secured victory.

As the oldest and most massive athlete with a body weight of almost 200 kg, Hoi proved to be an unstoppable force on the track. He crossed the finish line in a phenomenal time of just 30 seconds and secured victory with aplomb.
In a remarkable statement, Hoi explained: "Originally I wasn't going to compete due to a recent foot operation. But when I thought about participating again today and saw the time 11:11 on my phone, I thought to myself, with so many ones, this must be a sign and I have to participate. And that was definitely the right decision."
