Australian Bill Lyndon was there with Nathan and knows the full story of this comp and the squat/log situation. RUclips won't let me post the link. But google 'aussiestrength hall of fame'. The second returned link is to my forum. The 'hall of fame thread' is there. Bottom of Page 1 for the full story from Bill Lyndon.
bill was very respected in aussie strongman. nathan was not. why don't you ask him to put a video together instead of what he may or may not have said 20 years ago? just a suggestion.
Shame Jones spurned the handshake, I always knew he had a temper problem (convicted armed robber) but he lost due to his own mistakes, nothing to do with Magnusson.
It did not look to me as if he intended disrespect. He was probably immersed in thought and did not initially notice Magnusson approaching him or/and did not realize that he was going for a handshake instead of a friendly pat (was he?) and he did acknowledge Magnusson by giving him a nod. You cannot make far reaching character evaluations based on such trivial instances.
but magnussen also threw that handshake out saying you've just been beaten kind of thing as they were rivals if i remember right. Nathan quit the squat cause he felt it was enough. If he would've kept goin and placed higher and done better in the overhead he easily would've made finals. He should've never quit strongman he would've been a great

Jones always surrendering on all the categories! He's good for nothing...
Haha 6:46, Nathan rejects Magnus's hand shake wow, he did come across as a douche to me before but he did have potential.
He couldt straighten his right arm that armwrestle really ended his career
How The F did Jones fail the loading race. Very silly
