their was to wide of a point gap between the 2 for only 1 event to cover though mitch was perfect competition for brian throughout, he really wanted to go out at the top of the top and even at this level theirs only about 5-6 guys that can compete that high, hoopers career has a long way to go and he only has upward potential even from here

@@jonsmith9728 I honestly think he'll go down, after either the 1st year or year and a half, as the normal strongman tolls add up. Then he'll be middle-high placement in the pack for another year and change, after which the additional strength gains and event familiarity will put him back on top. Most of the ones that come in as a phenom have a low point for a bit before they get back on top.

Hi Mitch, one of the 3 that brought you ice cream here, just wanna say it was an honor to get to do that with you, as well as watch you compete on this stage in person! You truly honor the BK part of LHBK and it’s so cool to see. Can’t wait to see you compete in your next event!!!

Dude, what a battle..this comp was everything. Some were saying it was too heavy, but guys like you helped prove that those weights are liftable. And Brian giving that speech after such a performance, seeing him ride off into the sunset..I mean what more could a fan ask for. LEGENDARY. That's the embodiment of "lift heavy, be kind". It's really something to see this comp grow, I mean look at the trophies, the logo, the machines..everything is like professional grade now.

Hummer tire deadlift is the most iconic shit. Love it. The entire event was a hell of a show. That standing chest press was wicked.

Can we take a moment and acknowledge how Mitchell stopped in his last round as he secured his 2nd and just clapped for Brian to win. AND HE DOESN'T EVEN MENTION IT IN THIS VIDEO! This guy is such a class act and human being.

So cool to see JF! A great ending for Brian!

Congratulations of making it to the podium after a really hard season. Very strong and smart. 13:01 ... the change of expression the moment he sees his son is priceless 😄

I feel like you’re the next Brian. A very friendly and kind strongman who loves the sport and builds it by bringing more fans into the sport. Brian won many comps but his impact on the sport went beyond winning so I totally see that with Mitch.

From someone who’s 41 and watched worlds strongest man on tv since I was a kid and watching Brian every year for all those years compete it actually bought tears to my eyes seeing him top spot on the podium! Well done Brian will miss seeing you on tv big man and thanks for being such a top bloke, really honestly mean that if we all took a leaf out of Brian’s book the world would be a happier place

There is no better community in the world than the strongman community, this video is a statement to that! Some of the most impressive guys on the planet putting up a fight but backstage on stage is just love and respect... You guys are ALWAYS sending good vibes and uplifting messages to us all (be great, lift heavy be kind, stay spicy, etc) THAT'S RARE! And so so beautiful! Not only the performances when it's go time but everything that surrounds this sport is just so beautiful... Thank you ALL for existing and being the way you are, every single one of you... At this point it is way beyond just the competition, the message you all have been passing along is far more important, that's what will stick around even after you guys retire. And I mean every one of you, not just Hooper or Brian or the Stoltmans. Everybody... Thank you all

Moose is the man. I'm glad u let brian win at his own contest

Mitch stopping the power stairs to cheer Brian on, knowing his placing wouldn't change, Tom coming back from a 0 on the log and winning 4 events and getting on the podium, and Brian's fairy tale ending. Incredible.

Incredible to get second to Brian during his send off and incredible to be there at the top of the steps with him. That moment alone is a massive memory. Just like I thought, you blew us all away. Terry Hollands made the commentary you’re one of those guys that when you need just a little more go, you find it. I think he said you might be an alien 🤣 you really impressed everyone and you were a class act. I hope you keep it going in strong man and take this sport to the next level. Awesome weekend. You put on quite a show!

Just wondering if you and JF have plans to do a video together at some point. Would be cool to see.

That's a podium of the strongest men on earth. What a competition. Glad to see the prize money go up for the guys. Great job Moose and Tom. Big congrats to Brian.

Was incredible being there to send Brian off. Thank you for helping push him to his limits

I’ve literally grown up watching Brian. He’s shown an entire generation of young men how to be top class Athletes, Committed husbands, and loving Fathers. A true Titan amongst men. Thanks B! Couldn’t imagine a better way to end an amazing career!

Probs to your camera man/video editor being so quick to post the content every day. Alot of sleep seems to be missed by doing so and we appreciate it!

Seeing JF Caron on it's feet at a strongman competition was really awesome. I miss the guy. He was my favorite athlete. Now it's you Moose!

Met the Moose at the strongman classic at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this year. What a great guy spent time with us and he genuinely enjoyed seeing us as much as we loved seeing him. All the best to the MOOSE!

The Stoltmans brought me here, but God bless the strongman community. The support they show for each other, and the humility on display is remarkable. Well done Moose, so close to another great victory - Fantastic to see 3 legends battling it out on the Podium! LHBK

Watch out for Nick Best's axe throwing, he's lethal to everything other than the target

you did a fantastic job mitch

You are clearly the fittest athlete out there - setting a new bar for the next generation! Love your content and can’t wait to see you take the full sweep next year! - also - seemed like you weren’t as impacted by the altitude?

It's crazy how everyone is giving each other tips backstage... FCUKING EPIC

Awesome comp and great peformance !! Many battles to come between you and Tom!!

I made it through all the speeches and the hugs with a straight face and only slight lip quivering but I lost it when Brian's son brought him the trophy.

I never realized how much I love the idea of a standing chest press until this. Fuck bench press...........this actually makes sense!!

What a show!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

congrats man! It was so much fun to watch you guys battle it out! Amazing performance, you can be super proud ☺️

Great event Mitchell! You should be proud of your effort and the way you carry yourself. LHBK

. It was so great to watch you at the comp. It must have been so great to compete head to head with Brian so much at the final comp. I loved seeing you on the stairs knowing you had secured your spot and stopping to cheer Brian on to the end.

Really appreciate you Mitchell. Thank you for being so open with your journey. ❤ kick ass at the next comp. Top step , kind sir. Not for us . Do it for yourself.

What a show! The best sporting event I have ever been to. Living I Loveland, I would be happy to donate my time selling merch in your booth next year.

What a class act you are sir! Watching you encourage Brian to the finish line was such an emotional moment! You put on an outstanding show and most importantly CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming adventure in February!

I love what you did when you stopped your stairs to cheer on Brian

Worlds strongest man and a wonderful humble person . Keep on the good work!

Amazing. Sharing style podium with Brian and Tom ❤

I was at the Shaw classic and it was incredible. Everyone did amazing!

Good job Mitch - on all levels.

The Dad hat is so wholesome. Great job dude, super positive attitude

That bench press implement is really cool. I was happy to see them incorporate a chest strength contest but for some reason I was expecting it to basically be a powerlifting style bench-off, lol. That barrel machine is definitely more in alignment with the “spectacle” aspect of strongman. Hats off to Brian!

Massive props, to all of you - remember: only strong competition provides actual value to the title on the line! 💪🏻

I’m proud of you buddy. Top shelf character

Congrats Mitchell on making the podium, you were a lucky man to share the big stage with Brian shaw on his last couple events

Absolutely amazing show! Congratulations on the pregnancy!

Good job Mitch... I love the amount of respect and honor you have for Brian..... good man
