Beside, the "competition" at which Eddie set the record wasn't really a competition. It was organised around Eddie, he was allowed to set the rules, it took place in his neighbourhood, his personal equipment was used. You have the right to criticize Hafthor but you can't deny that Eddie's record wasn't set in an objective way.
