9 challenges in 30 days issued by none other than ‘The Mountain’- sound fun? It sure did to Bjornsson’s fans, who looked forward to winning a trip to Iceland as a reward. However, the surprise didn’t go as planned. While fans happily agreed to sign up for the challenge, many realized that it wasn’t for everyone.

The challenge was limited to people from the US and Canada only. This made fans from other parts of the world sad and frustrated. Many took to the comments section to inform others about the bizarre terms and conditions and vent out. One fan expressed their disappointment by saying, “I was so dissapointed when I saw only canada and US could compete what a shame”.

Meanwhile, others felt like their country wasn’t enough, with comments like, “Guess EU does not have what it takes”, “Why cant europe sign toooo” and “It’s a bummer Australia is out of the competition. Maybe next time. Good Luck all those competing!”.

Whether or not the giveaway is successful, it is an exciting opportunity for fans from the US and Canada. Although the general mood of fans seems to be dejection, it just goes to show their love and admiration for the Strongman champion. What do you think about these bizarre terms and conditions?
