I don't know why they say Jon Pall wasn't strong, I've seen numerous competitions where he just beats them straight up.

A great battle between two legends. RIP Jon Pall Sigmarsson

"its the kind of war that goes on and on until one of us drops" - sad quote looking back

Jon Pall is such a legend that he spawned a shirt right after winning the event at 49:10 RIP JP

Ah, yes. The good old days before the metric system when Britain used Airline Suitcases [AS] as the standard unit to measure weight. I'll have 0.12 Airline Suitcases of flour, please.

yeah I prefer when they compare them to " thats like throwing a 7 year old boy 6 meters high over your head " 😹

jon was quite a character i love it when he starts asking his viking gods for strength

Jon Paul is 28- while Bill is 35- Too bad The Kaz was frozen from wsm while he was still in his prime!

His fame will live forever, well done JP

Jon Pall was light years ahead also Jamie Reeves what a beast

Jon pall is a monster. He would have won another two- three wsm titles for sure

Unlikely.

The respect I love that real mens respect!

Such a shame they stopped Kazmaier competing when he was at his best. He would have almost certainly had Capes title the following year and I think Sigmusons the year after, and who knows with that experience and practice he could have had another couple, he was a beast here still after the time off. It could have made the difference and this would have been his too. He could have quite possibly had nine titles.

Well you can blame Kazmaier for that. He was such a A**hole to officials, fellow competitors, and even fans. He was also very aggressive and dangerous. He nearly killed his fellow team mate OD Wilson because of his lack of professionalism and his violence. It was a great thing when they didn't invite him back!!

I agree that he'd definitely take the next two. But capes and Jon made massive improvements in strength by 85. Kaz wasn't as good at the moving events and looking at Jon palls size in pure strength, he had the ability to get strong enough to offset kazs advantage in strength. Kaz would definitely win the static events but if Jon pall had the reason to put on that mass he'd at least come second and that wouldn't give Kaz enough of an advantage imo.

He was a legend but his back-chatting was pitiful. JP was warned many times by the ref over the years and he just smiled, moved on and did better.

Jon Pall always a good sport even when losing. Kazmaier spits his dummy out every event. Would've done better if he stayed cool

Soo good, a real classic.

I love the big WTF element of these old strongman events, specially the over-the-bar throws. Kaz screwing the wood floor with his failed attempt, and at 46:40 there isn´t even a bar. And they throw the weights at the water, so they have to stop and search them (while they try not to get killed by them)

Webster made a real big mistake.

Nah, Kaz cheated a little bit.

What a great event...! The comrade- and sportsmanship in those days were unbeaten! The most impressive moment to me is at 27:20, when Bill Kazmaier presses these 160kg with such an ease, unbelievable! I have a harder time squating this weight than he is pressing it overhead🙈

No doubt Kaz was statically stronger than jp.

Oh yes, the suitcase man.

Excellent sportsmanship ❤

960kg is just over 1000 pounds, apparently. 😂 He obviously misread 460 as 960. 😂😂

It is because he rests it on his head then presses it. It's very painful. Requires a lot of skill

Joint greatest ... the best of his era but strongman was different then less about money and more about the comradeship but he's up there with big Brian and big z and OF course Eddie the beast

When TF is an Australian competitor going to actually be competitive ?? I know what it is.... it's too fuckin hot down here !! 🥵

I think that Kazmaier's shoes are the tennis shoes McEnroe used at that time.

35 years ago they made strongmen carry 90 kilo objects 😹how the sport has evolved

Anyone know what's with all the "airline suitcase" references??

Deadlifts performed in this competition weren’t standard deadlifts. The bar was a lot higher, thus a shorter distance to lift, which made it easier.

Kaz with his trademark soft knees on the deadlifts.

Kaz the strongest static but some more quick running events and Sigmarsonwas little faster. I didn’t think that he would dominate the Kag-tuss and the Atlas-stones so easy. Sigmarson hade some luck but not that is part of the game to😊
