In this Saturday, April 6, 2019 photo, Jose Ramon Izeta, 52, a former basque stone lifter, holds a 100 kilograms stone, during an exhibition in the basque village of Azkoitia, northern Spain. The “Harri-jasotze”, or “Stone Lifters” in the local language of the mountainous Basque Country region, faces contorted by the effort these burly competitors strain to lift massive weights as many times as they can.
