Default Any "Worlds Strongest Man" fans out there?

Been watching this for years now and its that time of year again.

Not too many people watch this, and I tend to bore people to death when I talk about it.

NO SPIOLERS THO PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as the final has already taken place.

I,ve watched the first 2 qualifiers and cant wait to tonights.

"Come on the texas stone man"!!!!

Yeah, I love it, Was supposed to go Malta last yar, but didn't get a passport in time.
didn't know it was on yet, what channel?

Is Pudzianowski back this year?

He had two MMA fights, got battered by Tim Silvia, and retired. So not sure if he is doing Strongman again.

I thought he gave up after Silvia.
I'll have to watch that one, because at least butterbean should make him look good.

As for all the the other "gheyers" on this thread

I know lol! They still keep raising the bar and this year the lifts in deadlift and overhead lifts compared to previous are up my some margin.

In terms of physical prowess and mental fortitude strongman is one of the toughest SPORTS out there.

No unfortunately. Mark Felix had the potential but his strategy was all to **** on many occasions. Big Terry Hollands has been high as third but I think he's past his best. Brian Shaw the American should have won last year and is going to take some stopping this year. A genuinely nice bloke he is, as is our own Loz Shahlei who defies belief with his own feats of strength. On his day I think Shahlei can keep up with the best in the world.

I think Shahlei is the Brit to watch. Big Tel is a bit of a one trick pony now.
Anyone see Loz Shahlei on Del or No Deal earlier in the year? He looked huge against "normal" people. I never saw him actually have his day, just saw him as one of the box openers. Did they mention he was a strongman at all?

Very true.

A few years back my training partner worked on the door with Lee Bowers who made it to WSM one year. Had to pay to get there, for his efforts he got a t-shirt and some protein powder lol! Pretty pi$$ poor for being one of the best in the world at his chosen sport.

I've always watched it if it's on, used to watch it with my folks years ago, it's something different.

Full respect for the guys doing it, they are athlete's.
