As part of the 2013 World’s Strongman Contest, which wrapped up in Zhengzhou, Henan Province on July 11, herculean competitors visited a farm in nearby Zhongmou for the “farmer’s walk” – an event which involves carrying heavy baskets of watermelons over a set distance.
As the muscular men readied for the event, the middle-aged woman walked past carrying two similarly full baskets of watermelons, estimated to weigh over 50 kilograms (110 lbs).
“It’s not a big deal. We farmers can all do that at work,” said the woman.
