For those that want to know what they are saying and don't speak Icelandic! I:Tonight our guest is Jon Pall Sigmarsson, which recently regained the title of world's strongest man. Hi JPS: Hi I: So you are forbidden to tell people that you won, why is that? JPS: We can't talk about it because we signed a contract that forbids us from revealing the placings in the competition, and for that reason I can't talk about me having won. I: But still we know, you are the world's strongest man. And you don't need to say yes or no. JPS: Not saying anything. I: But how do you prepare for a contest like this? JPS: The preparation. First of all I was always going to be strong, and been prepareing myself pretty much from birth. I started 5 years old doing sports, and been lifting weights for 9 years. Never taken breaks except right before a contest. Like maybe 2 days before a contest and 3 days after. I: Not even during christmas time? JPS: I train on christmas eve, sorry I: But how do you feel after physically excreting yourself, aren't you all beaten up afterwards? JPS: Yes, like after this competition I had hard time walking around, but feel good now. I: But how old are you? JPS: I'm 26. And if you want to know more about this competition. I've always been the youngest, still am, and most of the time also the best. Crowd laughs and claps I: But how long have you been in sports? JPS: Since I was 5. First Icelandic wrestling, from my stepfather in Grímsnesi. Played around with the older buys up until I turned 14. After that football and handball took over, you know the coming of age sports, so called. I also trained karate. Was pretty good at swimming, swam for my school. And ran quite a bit. I: But were you not a handball star? JPS: Yes, I was comically good at handball, and can still play it. I: You come across as a confident man. JPS: Uhu I: Are you, or is it just an act you put on, like Muhammad Ali? JPS: He's one of my favorites. But yes, I'm very confident, I believe in myself. If you don't believe in yourself, then nobody does. But I'm still just a normal man. I have my feelings to (flexes his pec). But yes, I'm cool and slick. I: You mentioned Cool (svalur), you are never seen in public without a Svali (type of juice), although you don't have one here tonight. JPS: Look here, David Scheving bet on the right horse. Can you zoom in on this? I: Is this how you make an income? JPS: Yes. I: Waterbed, Borgartún 29. JPS: Borgartún 29. You see I drink svali and svali is water, most of the body is also water. And that is why it's so good to rest in a waterbed, with a svali in hand. I: But one last question. You refuse to show us how strong you are at this moment, and I've asked you a hundered of times. JPS: Now you just have to pressure the tv station to show the competition the same time it's being played in Britain. 1st of January at 6 pm. I: Then in words, tell us how strong you are. JPS: First of all I want to get stronger. But this event, world's strongest man, is an all around fitness and strength test. You need to be fast have strong lifts and being able to throw. Fast feet, and I have it all. That is why I'm the best. But there are many that are stronger than me. I'm just equally good at everything I: Jon Pall, thank you for coming. JPS: Thank you

Vá hvað mér fannst Elín virka þurr en annars frábært viðtal

Agree....english subs.....simply the best.

Loose translation (E for Elín, the interviewer, J for Jón Páll) My comments in brackets: E: Joining us tonight is Jón Páll Sigmarsson who recently regained the title of The World's Strongest Man. Greetings. J. Greetings. E. But what, you are not allowed to tell that you have won? How come? J. It is because before this competition we have to sign a contract that says we can't reveal the results. And I am forbidden from telling that I won, hehe. E: But we still know. You are the strongest man in the world, you're not saying yes or no? J. Not saying anything... E: But how do you prepare for such a competition? J: The preparation... I always meant to be strong, first and foremost. And I have been preparing pretty much from birth. I started five years old practicing sports. But I have been lifting weights for nine years and never taken a break except for when I compete. That's sort of my vacation, two days before and maybe three days after a competition. E: Not even on Christmas? J: I train on the 24th [which is the main Christmas day in Iceland]. Sorry, hehe. E: But how do you feel after such great physically strenuous activity? Aren't you all beat up returning...? J: Yeah, for example after this competition, the day after I had some difficulty walking but I'm walking/going on all now [I think he's making a metaphor that would translate to firing on all cylinders] E. How old are you? J: I am 26 years old. And if you want to know more about this competition: I have always been the youngest, and am still the youngest... and have mostly always been the best. [Laughter and applause in the studio] E: But how long have you been doing sports? J: Since I was five years old. Began doing Icelandic wrestling until about 13. After that I did soccer and handball. Also karate and I was a good swimmer, I swam for my school and ran quite a bit. E: [Can't hear it, something about handball] J: Yes, I was quite good in handball. And one thing, I can still play handball! And maybe I will... E: Now, you strike me as quite a confident man. J: Mhmm. E: Are you like that really or are you trying to play some Muhammad Ali with this... J: He was always a great favorite of mine, that champ. But I am rather confident, I believe in myself. If you don't believe in yourself then no one will believe in you, hehe. But I am a very ordinary man nonetheless. I have my emotions here [shakes his left pecs, everyone laughs]. ... Yeah, I am cool and completely chill. E: Yeah, you mention cool [there was a popular softdrink at the time in Iceland called Svali which phonetically and semantically is almost the same as the best translation of 'cool' into Icelandic (svalur)]. You can nowhere actually be seen publicly except with Svali in your hand. I understand you don't have one here tonight. J: No. [I see no point in translating the next few seconds] E. But, do you earn money this way? J: Yes. [uninteresting chat follows about inane things...] E: But one last question: You refuse to show me here tonight how strong you are. I've asked you a hundred times. J: Yes, now we just have to put pressure on RUV [basically the Icelandic BBC] to show the competition 'The World's Strongest Man' at the same time it is shown in Britain. E: But then you have to explain to us in words, how strong are you actually? J: I aspire to get stronger, but this competition, "The World's Strongest Man", it is an all around competition of feats. You have to be quick, strong at lifting, be able to throw, to run fast... I combine all these things. That is why I am 'best'', hehe. [Applause]. One more thing: There are many who can lift more than me in different trials. But I am the one of "equalest" strength. E: So, Jón Páll, strongest man alive, thank you for coming. J: Thank you as well.
