Jon Pall getting that last barrel, flexing mid way than sprinting to the finish line was unbelievable , one of a kind. RIP Viking

I remember watching this one in high school study hall way back when.

May he rest in peace.....great viking....JON PALL SIGMARSSON. Exceptional athlete and excellent rival

My favourite WSM - "Jon Pall Sigmarsson".

I love jon viking screams

The way they kept treating Jon Pall during the deadlift event was ridiculous.

I think it was fair to ask him not to bounce the weight. Before the pull Jan pushed down aggressively and used the recoil in the way up.

At 45:03 you can hear Jon Pall saying "Perkele", the famous finnish swearword and the finns laughing and clapping right after

The legends compete 💪. Missing Bill tho 😎..

Sigmarsson almost sliding under the 1st car in the car flip.... almost became Schwarzeneggar's stunt double by accident.

When I was a kid in the 80's Markovic was a favorite at highland games events in Canada, but I never knew he was a WSM contestant.

Jon Pall had of lived he'd have won more WSM hed have the most wins in the sport he was a beast

And how many would've Bill won had they not banned him for 5yrs For being to dominant. He'd have at least 5 if not more.

This narrator is really something. " Unlike Samson, he kept his strength when he lost his hair" 🤣

This intro music is so good. I love it.

However, he will be lifting with Thor in Valhalla:)

The refereeing in the boat lift seemed suspect. JP`s back was straight and he didn`t drop the boat any less than the French guy. I`m surprised JP got an invite after he won the title the 1st time!!!!!

Jp's 2nd lift was exactly the same as his 1st. Capes lift before it his legs were more bent than JP's.

​@speedy692 Capes lifted the boat legally. He also explained the rules to JP and vouched for him and allowed him to continue in the competition. Capes could have sided with the referee and disqualified JP on the first lift. He didn't.

High Energy by Evelyn Thomas is the intro music.

British people are weird. "On your mark. Get set. Go!" is an evenly spaced countdown like "2, 1, Go!". "On your marks and get set........Go!" is an evenly spaced countdown like "2, 1.75, go!"

They really messed up the truck pull in the first even where it seems to have been a decline and it was more a question of who can pull the rope the fastest rather than strength.

Where is Bill? How is that possible?

You can tell from the stones how most of the guys in those days had no opportunity for specialized training.

Why was it not held in 1987?

@grahamgill9685

This is what it says on Wikipedia: In 1987, the WSM was not held for the only time since its inception. In that year, the first and only non-team Pure Strength competition was held, but it was not part of the WSM franchise, Pure Strength then became a 2-man team event '88 through '90 when it stopped. Additional info: Jon Pall Sigmarsson won Pure Strength '87, winning 8 of 10 events. Bill Kazmaier 2nd, Jeff Capes 3rd.

Thanks, I read that too. But that doesn’t explain why WSM fell behind.

Scheduling would be my only guess. Getting those 3 to the UK to compete in Pure Strength, then home, then of course recovery time, time to retrain to top form again, and other commitments of their personal time likely ended the possibility. Hard to say. But I think we can agree that a 1980's version WSM without Jon Pall, Bill, and Jeff would have been largely pointless.
