Holy moly! Surprising places
Very shocked Z only pulled 420kg
gutted Jenkins missed a podium finish
420kg ??? maybe he wanted to save energy for the last event and had not to pull more for 2nd place in the Deadlift….it cant be that 420kg was a true max. for big z
he failed the same weight shaw lifted its on youtube. Z is past his prime now I believe.
I know Terry had an injury on the DL – he can typically do that for reps. Also, I don’t know specifics, but apparently many competitors had food poisoning at one time or another. That said, Brian definitely earned back his crown this year!
Is it anyone who knows how much Shaw weighed in at this competition? and Z?
Would be greatful for answers.
420 kg only? what a joke, Big Z can do far more better than that, and the result in the overhead medley event, its just outstanding, brian just cant match with big z!
Gutted the big Z is the man. He will always be the strongest, but not the most athletic
so lets get this right the big Z lost his title by 0.1 second???
No even if he would have beaten Brian in that event as long as Brian still got 3rd he still would have won the title
Cheers.
Brian is great at worlds strongest but the Big Z is the strongest man on the planet. Has over 80% record lifts. Shocked he didnt win the deadlift.
Was he injured??
Where is a video with competition
Too many events favor the taller athletes; Fingal’s Fingers, Loading Race, Atlas Stones, Keg Toss. The apparatus should be adjustable to take this into account, or events chosen so that height difference doesn’t matter.
mariusz pudzianowski is still the greatest
mariusz pudzianowski always the best
I haven’t missed WSM since I can’t remember when! What saddens me now is the TV presentation of the events – too much repetition by the presenters, too much stating the obvious, too many ill-timed, inconsiderate and sometimes inane interviews immediately before and after the psyched-up and stressed competitors have taken part – all of this being precious time taken from the events themselves. I’m sure we once saw every competitor’s turn in every event, and I sorely miss this; also there used to be the full podium ceremony, which surely should be retained at the end of such a herculean battle for the Globe, as the programme’s proper climax. Please, TV producers and directors, lose the padding from WSM and give us back uncluttered, unedited, nail-biting competition!
Just found out that WSM Mike Jenkins has died. That is so sad. Seemed like a really nice man as well as an incredible athlete.
