Greek muscle man Eleftherios Petrounias showed off his superior power in the strongman's event as he edged out local favourite and 2012 champion Arthur Zanetti to win the rings gold medal
Petrounias added the Rio Games title to the world and European crowns he holds with a score of 16.000.
Zanetti lost out on the top prize by 0.234 of a point while Russia's Denis Abliazin had to settle for bronze.
Greece's Eleftherios Petrounias saluted the crowd with a raised fist confident that he would become the first Greek since Dimosthenis Tampakos in 2004 to win the rings. It was Greece's second gold in Rio.
