Here after hearing Brian Shaw retired. Thank you Brian Shaw for an amazing career in WSM. Truly one of the goats of the sport.

Thor looked older then than he does now, so weird to see him in a competition but not focus on him as a contender for every event

Lawrence is an absolutely lovely man. What a character.

absolutely, this sport deserves much more, adding the fact that it is not even broadcasted. Even the number of spectators, it so sad to see such athletes performing in front of 30 people on a beach.. comparing to curling, such silly sport that every1 can do, and there are plenty of spectators...

Brenden Day to be honest Terry Hollands is kind of a gatekeeper. his problem is that when he bombs he bombs hard. Look at Shaw and Big Z, even when it’s their worst event they’re almost never outside of the top 3, maybeee top 4, but for Terry it’s not uncommon to see him finish almost in dead last sometimes. Those points prove to be very costly. Even when he comes on really strong, it seems like he’s always just 1 event away from dropping 3 spots

I am a men French and excuse me but i speak no good English!

And I think he is incredible because he is one of the strongest men on this planet Earth but at the same time, when I see him speak, answer questions from journalists, and even if another strong man come to him to look for stories so that Brian gets carried away or gets upset, and no Brian will stay calm because he is very very strong physically but he is also very very strong mentally and he is the most intelligent of all the strong man!

Yeah, but luckily the best ones do get some money from sponorships.

Why not just give them wider fucking grips for the frame carry? I hate that the event basically comes down to whose hands will rip, and then the competitors who're unfortunate have their whole weekend negatively affected. Just make the grips proper and make the thing heavier or have them go farther. Seems pretty basic.

I didn't know Rodrigo Martinez was a real person.

Nine years later and they are lifting more reps and heavier... who would have thought that?

never understood why WSM uses these little handles to tear their fucking hands to shreads and on the first event at that to fuck up the entire competition because you can't actually see how strong someone is with ripped up hands
