You have to also remember, Thor's argument is completely based on the fact, if that rep was allowed it would have been 15 each, and the overall score would have been a tie, not the one point Eddie beat him by. However had a target to aim at, and did 15 because that's what he had to do to win. I'm 99.9% sure, Eddie would have been more than able to do 16 or 17 if he had to. Plus there were 3 events after this I believe, so it's not as if he didn't have a chance to claw it back. Also on the Stone, Eddie knew he just had to lift them all to win, you could argue if he was against the clock and had to beat a specific time to win, he would have. But as mentioned in the video, Thor is surrounded my 'Yes' men, if he told them he believed water was green and the sky was black, they'd back him and convince him he was right. Thor has at least 4 reps that could have been DQ'd, he wasn't locking his elbows on them all either. It's arrogance of the highest order for Thor to genuinely believe he was cheated out of the title. He's like a child throwing his toys out the pram.

Watching the side by side comparison it was clear that the judges were extremely lenient with Hafthor who I think was VERY lucky to be given a score of 14, what a crybaby, Eddie you annihilated him on that one, the official record shows you won by one, but in reality I think Hafthor should have been reprimanded more harshly by the judges during the event and told he wasn't waiting for the down call, he was lucky to get 14 as he didn't even do 14 proper lifts!

I can understand the frustration behind losing a competition like that but there's absolutely no reason he should've put you on blast like that

Eddie did it while already out of gas, and the challenge was thrown as a spectacle, nobody expected anyone to lift it. Also the weights Thor lifted were verified by his father, and Thor conveniently retired strongman with a bs excuse. So was it even 501kg that he lifted is up for debate

@kuvy0jhm00b

3 жыл бұрын

@Senior Billy Bull Thor Broke the record by a mere 1kg. Eddie did it by a mere 35 Kg at the time amongst guys like Benedikt Magnusson and Jerry Prichett who also had attempted the 500KG lift. Sure Thor "could've" pull 20+ more kg to prove a point, but the simple fact that he didn't when he had a chance to blow eddies record away and take all bragging rights away from Eddie's name makes that argument invalid.

It's good that we get to hear other competitors opinions on what they thought about the scandal because they fully understand what it takes to even do a heavy lift and on top of that they all know "IT'S A SPORT!" you win some you loose some, but that doesn't stop them to keep competing and getting better each year and challenging themselves even more. But most importantly it's all about the sportsmanship.

Even as a layman I can see the issue, this is truly bad sportsmanship to claim cheating.

A referee should never be put in that position straight after an event where he feels intimidated.

I'm not even a big watcher of the sport, but you can easily see Eddie certainly won without a doubt. It all comes down to ego, and that's not a jab at those who compete. You need that mindset to be able to push through the pain and exhaustion to keep moving forward. Hats off to you, Eddie, mate. You could have gone more had the need for it been there. I'm three years late commenting, but having come across the video and seen it, it's plain to see you won without question.

Love your energy Eddie and where you came from to where you are now. Your content is amazing! Well deserved in 2017

Atcera you can bend your knees, just not on the catch... You can bend to press up, but legs then have to be straight when you catch at the top, the double dipping thor did was due to doing this but then bending the legs on the catch, which then makes the press easier... This is why he had 1 removed and could have had 2-3 removed for similar actions... Eddies legs everytime on the catch were 100% locked out straight.

TLDR: Hafthor lost three rounds made for his levers an physique, Hafthor double dipped FOUR times an only ONE was disallowed, Hafthor lost WSM, after Eddies retirement, in 2018 WSM, Hafthor beats his wife an the fame of GoT got to him aswell as his nasty narcissism!
