This is the one that I remember the most. I was watching it as it aired. I believe Shaw broke the world record time which is why it was such a big deal as it was the shortest held record in history! It was such a shame to see his sheer anguish. Alas, such is the nature of competition.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Great stuff Loz. One of the funniest moments for me was with Jimmy Pollock in 1990 or 91. His athlete liked to be slapped in the face before a big lift, and Pollock accidentally slapped the wrong competitor before an overhead stone lift. It did seem to help him though! :D

[@BigLozOfficial]

That’s brilliant! Jimmy was a legend. He’s very sorely missed.
