2003 World's Strongest Man Heats 1-4

[@jackcarter5101]

It was a huge rarity to win an individual event and come overall last. Ross did it twice. My dad used to say of him 'You get the feeling he would be a serious contender if only he could lose the belly', but somehow I think that was just how he was made, and losing the belly would mean losing all his power.

Great uploads. These guys got to travel the world essentially doing "sports days" like they were back at school, but for the big boys. Seen some amazing places and met some amazing people. Not a bad life considering!

[@mark4lev]

Classless sport, no violence or profanity or anything like that. Pure escapism.

Geoff Dolan could easily have been Svend Karlsen's stunt double.

[@speedy692]

Yeah. I thought it was Svend at 1st.

1:59 Marius ABS.

Pfister done over there. His group had 3 guys you'd expect to challenge whereas on past performances group 1 and 4 only had one dead cert each.

I delivered a pizza to Rich Goslins son last night 😂. His whole family are strong as fuck! His brother Mick also won Britain's strongest Man in 2005. One day ill never forget is when me and mate was struggling to change engine and box with scissor jacks, his sister Jo came over, we tied rope round engine and she stood on suspension structs of my old c reg vaux cavvy and lifted it without any effort, 10 seconds later the mounting nuts in, was in Awe 😂

I used to think this was the same train wagon they used in 2001, but it's just a similar one

Wool is amazing. Also, it's not plastic. My skin likes it a lot better and there is no micro plastics in the water that comes out of the washing machine (that one time i do actually wash it) I also like it a lot for the office. I tend to smell quickly, not when i wear wool though. I'm only still looking for some good office-casual wool pants.

Shows what Jamie Reeves knows, mariusz won by a record score in the final

[@darylkanofski9327]

I always thought Jamie was a bit of an idiot

[@greengrowlocks566]

I'm not hardcore strongman fan but would a modern strongman crush these classic competitions?

[@EVO6-]

Yes. The static events are low by current standards

[@intellivisionmaster7999]

No

[@mikedarrow3809]

They really didn’t want Glenn Ross in the finals. Screwed again.

[@Guamparrapo83]

he didn't lock his arms out, no valid lift

[@andrewfitzgerald5576]

@@Guamparrapo83 he did

[@andrewfitzgerald5576]

WSM never suited Ross, he was an incredibly strong static man, but his mobility was clearly lacking but he was very, very strong, hence he got 3rd place at the Arnolds a much heavier event and even though Pudzianowski was a phenom in WSM he got nowhere near the same success in the Arnolds.. ..different strokes for different folks

[@EVO6-]

Screwed? He wasn't even close to qualifying. Even if they gave him the 4th log, he was slower than several guys, wouldn't have magically put him in the final.

[@darylkanofski9327]

He wasn't rreally mobile at all, to be a contender he needed to be like BIG Z

[@Saskatchetooner]

Go Geoff Go!

[@thehistory5401]

There must be a rule against coasting?

[@GenocideLv]

42:00 wow he could have done 3 more

[@larrybaba5635]

This happens when God makes you overly strong and forgets the cortisol receptors!

[@nostradam4594]

My english and your polish it s the same... 😂 They can t conversation.

[@facumartinez100]

biggest disappointment in world strongman history: glenn ross

[@darylkanofski9327]

He complained about the train pull, complained that he locked his arms when he didn't and complained about the heat. He must have known it was going to be hot

[@greengrowlocks566]

Is there any reason they hard these competitions in Africa?

[@EVO6-]

Cheaper Besides that it's a really shitty location with no strongman tradition, no interested local scene and absolutely awful conditions for the athletes. Just television being cheap

[@intellivisionmaster7999]

No

[@brutalcummer6308]

😭😭😭 hilarious how balthus could fail on that final log ..weak boy
