I love watching your videos and live streams. You both never have a bad thing to say about the athletes and neither do those who watch along with you. I watched the live stream of the announcements stream with Colin Bryce, Terry Hollands and Eddie and there were a lot of negative comments. Thanks for having such a great and watchable channel.

Is this some kind of reverse time lapse? They just announced the groups! 😁

It's such an interesting competition this year. With so many of the big names retired, injured, or just not showing up, there's a wide open door for some of the Lesser known or newer guys to make an impact.

Loz & Liz getting me hyped. 🎉

Group 3 is very interesting one

Loading is such a mixed bag. The smallest stumble always had the abikity to flip the table. It can happen in any event but loading it is almost always a sure thinf

Haven't watched video yet. Saw WSM post. Here is my predictions for groups. Group 1- Mitchell and Stoltman Group 2- Hooper and Remick/Bilton in stone off Group 3- Ragg and Bishop/Smaukstelis in stone off Group 4- Singleton and Heinla/Kordiyaka in stone off Group 5- Stoltman and shoonwinkle/Thompson in stone off

Well that was fast!

Can't wait

Would be great to see a video after WSM to see how your predictions stacked up to final results. Strongman can be so unpredictable that it would be fun to see predictions side-by-side with results.

Gosh, these are tough groups, which will make for a tough and exciting final. Looking forward to the "spreadsheet party" 😛

Great video thanks guys. My fingers crossed are for Bish and Cane, love to see two more Brits in the final. Sadly I think Gav is just not in a good place right now and possibly comes last in his group.

Great video! Still feels some groups missing with Brian, Hafthor, Matheusz and his us/latvian friend 😅 (i know each of the reasons but still was waiting for the names ...it has not reached my anticipation of wsm 😂).

Nice bideo

Having just started getting into strongman shortly after last year's WSM, I'm really surprised by the setup. All the other big competitions are serious and intense, but WSM still has a little bit of 80's TV show vibe, like if Total Wipeout grew to become an international sport over 40 years without them noticing.

I think this is interesting for Luke. Trey could win 3 events

Always feel these two talk tomorrow down for some reason

These are some good groups. None are easy to call - especially 3, as you guys said. My prediction? Paaaaiin! But also... Group1: Luke and Trey. I originally had Luke and Eddie Williams, but you guys convinced me on Trey beating him on the stone off - though depends how he is after his injury. Group 2: Hooper and Andrade. I'd love to see Ondrej in the final, but I don't see him winning a stone-off. I do think he'll be in 2nd though. Group 3: Matt Ragg and Aivars. Really could be any 2 from this group though. Group 4: Singleton and Rauno. Tough group, but No one beating Rauno in a stone-off and he's too stubborn to not be there. Also, he said he wasn't training for Europe's, he was training for World's, and in better shape and more prepped for these specific events, should come good. Group 5: Tom and Bobby. I'll admit, again, I originally had Tom and Jaco, but Loz sold me on Bobby's capability (and Jaco's not great-ness on Stones). I half suspect Tom to coast for a 2nd knowing he'll likely have an easy stone-off, especially if Bobby starts very strong - giving Bobby the group. Would that for Tom be less energy given how good he is on stones? Again. Great groups, and there are always surprises.

​@@lenisemicolonto be fair, the events were harder for him and he couldn't win the stone-off. His only title is a mickey mouse title. He's way stronger now than he was then.

The excitement in worlds for me nowadays is who gets out the groups. The final is between a couple guys but the groups are the real excitement. Wasn't that long ago that the field was made up of guys who'd never get out their group but now it feels like everyone has a chance

Group 1: Trey wins, Luke beats Faires in the stone off Group 2: Hooper wins, Bilton beats someone in the stone off making his first final. Group 3 (Hardest group IMO, doesn't have the strongest guys but everyone in this group is very evenly matched): Evans wins, avairs beats kearney in the stone off Group 4: Singleton wins, Rauno beats anyone in the stone off. Group 5: Jaco wins, Bobby gets disappointed in the stone off once again against Tom.

A Luke and Trey stoneoff( not gonna happen) goes to how many reps? 16?

This is my question. If Tom was in a stoneoff with prime Brian Shaw, how many reps does it take for someone to win?

Group 3 is the hardest imo. Quite simple who will all go through except from this grouping.

Some of them are tough... but my picks are: Group 1: Luke Stoltman and Trey Mitchell Group 2: Mitch and Ondre Fojtu Group 3: Matt Ragg and Rob Kearney Group 4: Evan Singleton and Rauno Heinla Group 5: Tom Stoltman and Bobby Thompson

They actually did a fantastic job with the groups this year. Every group looks very competitive. Bobby has a good chance if Tom wins the group, and if Rauno gets into the stone off he definitely gets into the finals.

Trey and Bobby are both going to be lucky to get through to the final. Group 2 looks easy for Mitch to coast through My predictions: 1 - Luke wins, trey and Tristan stone off, trey goes through 2 - Mitch wins, fojtu and Andrade in stone off. Fojtu through 3 - Matt ragg wins, avairs and rob stone off, avairs goes through (hard one to call) 4 - Evan wins, rauno and pavlo stone off and rauno to go through. For me that’s the upset group for Pavlo. He’ll have to win that group because he’s not beating Evan or rauno on a stone off 5 - tom wins, Jaco and Bobby stone off. Jaco to go through. Bobby could easily win that though cause Tom normally takes it easy in the heats cause he knows he’ll win the stones anyway

Come on big gav....

My early prediction is the most injury withdrawal in WSM history . My prediction is top 3. 1stTom 2nd Mitchell and 3rd im on the fence between Luke/Evan 3rd place is a coin toss!
