    This is such a superb insight into the Basque culture. Martins you've shown such respect and love for it and it shows. I love how Maite Perurena says that 'this is not just sport, it's a family, a culture, a tradition', very moving words. Despite my name I was born and grew up in Donostia, Gipuzkoa, and I can tell this video is true celebration of one of the most idiosyncratic and defining aspects of Basque culture. Much love strongman, well done.
