WORLD TOUR FINALS ( Giants Live 2018 - Pro Strongman in Manchester )

FULL TV SHOW: Giants Live''s World Tour Finals of 2018, strongman competition, at the Manchester.Arena
Event 1 - World Axle Press Championships: Iron Biby hopes beat Eddie Hall's 216kg World Record.
Returning Champion, Zydrunes Savickas, is consiodered by many to be the SOAT - strongest of all time.
This contest was potentially his final pro strongman contest.
Big Z is four-time World's Strongest Man and widely regarded as the strongest man eve.
Unfortunately, Big Z struggled to find his groove. The audience gasped in shock as he failed his initial 180kg press attempt. However, he composed himself and successfully lifted the weight, followed by a powerful 195kg lift that earned a thunderous roar from the crowd.
Ultimately, Iron Biby emerged as the victorious athlete, becoming the sole competitor to achieve a successful 207kg press. Encouraged by the fervent cheers of over 7,000 fans, Biby boldly aimed for the World Record of 217kg. Unfortunately, it was not his day, and he fell short of the mark.
Eddie Hall, observing from the sidelines, demonstrated his respect for the young athlete through a massive pat on the back-an expression of admiration common among strongmen. Eddie's World Record remained unbroken, at least for now.
CHAMPIONS FALL, LEGENDS ENDURE
Big Z persevered to tackle the next two events: a monumental 360kg axle deadlift for repetitions and a 225kg duck walk and anchor drag. However, keen-eyed fans noticed something amiss. With just two reps and a nosebleed during the deadlift, followed by a dramatic stumble that placed him last in the medley, Big Z's performance was far from what was expected of the legend.
Ultimately, Big Z gracefully accepted defeat and withdrew from the competition, citing injuries that hindered his performance.
AN UNEXPECTED TURN OF EVENTS
While Iron Biby, Big Z, and Janashia were the favorites according to bookmakers, the night saw the rise of dark horses-Adam Bishop, the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Harlequins, and USA's Martins Licis.
Bishop secured an impressive second place, with a blazing time of 25.66 seconds in the Medley Race and a consistently strong performance overall. This achievement marked a significant milestone for the British athlete, whose previous best finish was fourth place in Britain's Strongest Man. Perhaps that coveted Ugg sponsorship contract will soon be headed his way?
Martins Licis delivered a phenomenal display, dominating the 360kg Giant Axle deadlift with an astonishing eight reps in just 60 seconds!
As the competition reached its climax, only half a point separated Kieliszkowski and Licis, setting the stage for a nerve-wracking finale-the Atlas Stones. Kieliszkowski narrowly edged out Licis by a mere two seconds, completing an astonishingly swift 16.09-second Atlas stone run. This victory solidified Kieliszkowski's first-place finish, with the American securing second place in a thrilling conclusion.

@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Yes, I think he would have adapted. He was still great in 2009. He was extremely good, so it is kind of unfair to him. But that is still how I rate it atleast. If he continued it may have been the "Big 4" maybe. Difficult to answer, but I do not think he would have have won the Arnold. He was number 1 in a certain type of competition. He would, or could probably dominate SCL and probably giants live shows. Who knows. There are many "What ifs", I think Dominic Filiou was one of them what if potential ones. May he rest in piece.
8 reps by Martins on the DL. Amazing

And I was happy to see Mikhail place 2nd with 6 reps. As much as I don't like Russian Federation and its army, he's a true gentleman.
Big Z is the strongest man to ever walk the 🌎
Big z, greatest of all time no doubt in my mind, brian shaw, and maybe stoltman, early days but i think he has the potential.

@@maticsimonic9673 yeah tbh I would say so, I have was trying to come up with an excuse not to list him as I was not a fan of his, being that he was competing with my favourite of all time, and winning 😅 but he was a phenomenon super strong lean and athletic. He is certainly up there and by rights should probably take 1st place being he is the o ly one to win 5 times, in fact I'll put him in second. Big z, mariuz, shaw. I dont put kaz up there like some people as I think the competition was mostly Americans when he was competing and wasnt really "worlds strongest man" Kind of like the WBA world basketball association, which contains only american teams.
Thank you for the upload. Hadn't seen this one yet.

Big Z, Shaw, Thor
4x WSM 2XIFSA 1XFORTISSUMUS 8X ARNOLD =GOAT BIG Z
Big Z is the best of all time in my Opinion .
I'm far from a Hapthor fan, but I will say that 100kg-180kg is considered a light set in Atlas Stone lore. Kieliskowski no doubt is impressive doing them in 16 seconds, but normally the stones heavy set is 150kg-200kg (330LBS. TO 441LBS) and sometimes 150kg-210kg (330LBS TO 462LBS). I believe if Thor had to lift the light set in 16 seconds in his prime, he could have if needed to win a comp.

Mixture of politics and he is getting on a bit now. Probs not good enough for any of the .ajor shows anymore but Giants live europes and OSG masters he should still get a shot at imo
I'd win the deadlift if it was who could lift it the least amount of times in a minute. I think I could get negative 10 reps!
Marius, big z, and brian shaw for sure.
Big Z, MVM and Shaw. I think Magnus always gets overlooked, but he finished top 2 6 years in a row, and was champion in the first three years WSM ran the group stage format we're familiar with today. He also could have been at least a podium finisher from 1989, but JPS was always going to get Iceland's place in the final. Obviously, Pudz, Hapfthor, Kaz and JPS are all in the conversation.
I feel like mateusZ could have been more dominant if he would have put on 30 more pounds but I guess he likes he's body too much to sacrifice the extra mass

@Giants Live where are you selling these TV rights? It makes no sense we can't watch it. Make a channel and charge £3. Something. You are ruining the sport by events which we can't watch but can see snips off and results for. You demean the live product. The WSM final is even worse. Think on this hard please.
That goofy looking American guy looks like he could do well in the future!

He did win WSM the following year! Some say controversially because Thor got injured during WSM 19', but that is part of strongman competition! On a side note, Licis is actually from Latvia and is now an American citizen!
