Day 2 of the Arnold Sports Festival, is going on on a high note, and the 2024 Arnold Strongwoman Classic UK’s second event, Timber Carry, saw some incredible scenes. Rebecca Roberts of Wales had an entirely different experience than other strongwomen who opted for one or two laps.
How far a participant could carry the timber in 60 seconds determined the winner. There was a tremendous cheer from the audience when the 2023 World’s Strongest Woman took the stage. The announcers cheered her as she prepared to take on the timber that weighed 260-pound on each side.
It didn’t take Rebecca Roberts long to finish the first lap. The whole NEC Birmingham, however, went wild when she took a U-turn and completed her second lap. But the two laps weren’t enough for the Welsh Wonder Woman.
After Roberts’s second lap, it was announced that there was plenty of time remaining. Upon hearing this, the Welsh strongwoman proceeded to complete her third lap.
Roberts made an incredible effort, and everyone applauded, but the strongwoman just missed the third lap, as the timer went off with some distance to go. However, this effort made her the winner of the Timber Carry event.
Like the previous part of the event, the second leg also saw stiff competition, despite Rebecca Roberts’ immense performance. But this time, Lucy Underdown, who finished seventh in the first leg, was in contention with Roberts.

In the American Oak event, Lucy Underdown opted for the lighter log. The highest number of reps she could complete while lifting the 220.5-pound log was five. This attempt made her settle for seventh, but she made a comeback in the second leg of the event.
Underdown attempted a three-lap run with the timber and was just 0.4 meters behind the Welsh Wonder Woman. On the flip side, after completing two full laps, Andrea Thompson and Nadia Stowers tied for third place.
Day 3 will bring even more action, as there are three more events to go. Every participant in the 2024 Arnold Strongwoman Classic UK is giving their best, and there is a great chance that the viewers will be looking at a close finale battle.
