Sucks that Svend Karlsen got injured he had a damn good shot at winning it this year to

The shows are boring nowadays. The competition is better though. They rely on the mic too much to keep people entertained

the intros in the old worlds strongest man are always cool

Theres something about Phillipa .... there are many more pretty women on TV every day but Phillipa has some kind of sparkle just makes her so more attractive.

Flemming being done in on the log lift and his mistake on the car flip cost him valuable points

Flemming was like Samuelsson on Diesel fuel.

These competitions were great fun to watch. Running with heavy objects looks always pretty dangerous, but only few severeish injuries in a decade, tho.

Doug edmunds, had a personal issue with Flemming. Fleming told me about it in zambia 2001 wsm, it was something he said at a dinner that Doug overheard. He didn't want to repeat it to me though. Doug had issues with Gerrit Badenhorst aswell.. Doug had his favorites, Sameulsson was one of them...

@@mikedarrow3809 us enthusiasts want the strongest guy to win, but Dougie wants a product to sell. Surprised he had issues with badenhorst, he seemed a nice guy. I wonder if it was that he could beat mvm in the squat/dead. Before anyone says Bahamas ‘95 Badenhorst was injured before the event. Was it glen ross who threw Doug Edmonds hat in the fire at a restaurant ?

@@mark4lev did he deserve it? I’ve seen Riku in other non WSM comps and he was very charismatic with the crowd. The best man must win for strongman to be considered a legitimate sport.

105kg log and 1 minute :/ I remember big Z did 160kg for 10 reps at wsm 2011 and he still had more in the tank, says a lot of how far the sport has come :)

@anonymous it's more to do with familiarity than drugs. I've been training for 8 months and can rep 80kg like that cause I have a log to train on. The grip event was made easier than the normal one, bill has way more injuries and is older so of course Magnus was going to beat him. Not saying they're natural but the drugs isn't the only reason they're there

@@hugodogobob i think geoff capes and don reinhoudt were natural beast with no p.e.d.s. but Jon pall was definitely on tons of roids so was kaz i think. I been watching combat sports for years and even the strictest drug testing will still fail to catch most steroid use. And every sport is similar in the sense, that only 1 percent of athletes are natural....meaning no use of steroids or performance enhancing drugs. Of course protein powder wouldn't count but ya I ways root for the natural beasts but I never judge those who did steroids. Its not cheating when everybody is doing it, I just don't respect it. Anyways sorry for the rant

Who knows if Fleming was awarded the 13th log press and won the event alone if that would have changed the outcome.

He actually competed in a Britain's Strongest Man a few years later and an Olympic Games. I think I read he was a Wrestler before getting involved with Strongman.

Doggie Edmund’s the worst judge I’ve ever seen!!! Iron bear Colin’s didn’t lock out on the log lift at least 3 times but was given all of them. Fleming was robbed

Fortunate to meet u here sir ..can u tell us in brief how to improve strength for truck pull.thank u champp

@@c6gav According to what I've found online, it's moved all over the place, from ITV to BBC1, to Five, to Bravo and now back to Channel 5 again. Channel 5 only started broadcasting in 1997 so it couldn't have been shown on there for most of the 90s. According to a story in the Guardian newspaper online Channel 5 started showing WSM in 2012.
