A korábbi junior súlyemelő világbajnok ezzel olyan sikert ért el a sportágban, amely 13 éve egyetlen magyarnak sem sikerült. Nagy mind a hat versenyszámban kiegyensúlyozottan teljesített, a harmadik feladat után az élre állt, s erejét taktikusan beosztva megtartotta első helyét. A másik magyar induló, Hrozik Gábor a hetedik helyen végzett a kilenc ország képviselőit felvonultató, 12 fős mezőnyben.

"Giants Live moves on to Leeds next weekend for its biggest show of the year—Europe's Strongest Man. The line up there now includes Ervin Katona and Ed Hall after Mark Felix and Stefan Solvi Petursson have dropped out injured. Savickas, Shahlaei, Lalas and Hollands are just some of the other n
