Austrian Oak - Event 3 | 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic | Full Live Stream

Complete coverage of Event 3, The Austrian Oak, from the 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic in Columbus, Ohio. With the "Austrian Oak" himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, looking on, the 10 competitors began Saturday's competition with this classic log press event. The field included both the American and British log lift record holders (Bobby Thompson and Luke Stoltman, respectively), so Day One standouts Martins Licis, Oleksii Novikov, and Rob Kearney would need to do their best to keep pace in the points chase.

Man....poor Caron...that is just heartbreaking. Wishing you all the best for your recovery.

All the best to JF, hope he’s back up and running soon

@@williammunny9916 Why bring idol worship in response to a comment hoping that JF Caron is okay?

[@infiniteaaron]

@@BuJammy That is terrible. It looked like when he went down, his knee wasn't low enough below the pads and the log came down on the left knee as well... If he said it's probably career ending, he may not work his way back for another attempt at the Arnold unfortunately.

[@infiniteaaron]

Yes. Anyone who watched this fully, I would hope, has Caron in their thoughts to recover. Having both quads torn, as Bu Jammy mentioned, it seems like he's definitely not competing anymore after this event.

[@elreydelmundo1343]

According to his Facebook page he tore his quad tendons and is already out of the hospital.

29:00 this is a moment where you can see having Loz commentating is good; he actually understands what is happening rather than just saying what anybody could see.

So anyone who wants to know, JF tore both quads, smashed up his left knee, and broke his left ankle. It's bad. His career looks to be over. Very unfortunate. Go to Matt Rhodes Sport's KZbin channel to find out more.

[@1Lance1984]

No way! Wow that's sad for him.

[@BigMac7091]

I think it’s his right knee? That’s the one the log fell on…

[@leprechaunsrninja]

Just an update - per JF's doctor, he actually didn't break his ankle. Double quad rupture and banged up right knee is still accurate.

[@YannMetalhead]

Thanks Rogue.

[@abhorrentatrocity9920]

Luke's winning lift was also arguably the most solid: full lockout, held it up long enough, no wobbling, no steps back or forth. 10/10 I hope he gets the log record in his attempt in September 2023

[@Donjuan51]

JFs injuries sound catastrophic, I hope this isn’t the end of his strongman career.

[@supernoodles908]

I think he ripped both his quads and damaged goods ankles... Rather significant damage and career injury possibly/probably

[@davidhowe7844]

He mentioned in an interview with Big Loz that he thinks strongman for him is done

A whole lot of the same muscles you're using for stone to the shoulder. Martins may have been strategic, seeing minimal room for improvement here and making sure he had gas in the tank for the stone.

Matt Rhodes has a message posted from JF. Extremely bad and says he's probably forced to quit strongman.

[@bmstylee]

@@kasperv967 damn that's a bummer. But he's pushing 40 and time is not on his side. But as Chewy says about BJJ "we're not playing patty-cake here". They are doing insane things and sometimes things go pop.

[@nicholastartaglia4276]

@@bmstylee "time is not on his side" This is the norm for a lot of people but JF was literally getting better as he aged, man. Sometimes we forget how dangerous these lifts are just because of how strong and conditioned these top guys are but apparently he tore his quad before the log even fell on him and it caused huge knee damage. I imagine these guys only having 8-10 weeks to condition themselves for a squat maxout probably isn't the best way to handle these events and only leads to a lot more potential injuries, especially when the Arnold Classic has the heaviest and hardest events.

[@Martin-ub9ci]

@@nicholastartaglia4276 yeah that's true... The fact they allow wraps also increase the weight...

[@PlaneSpotterJimmy]

What would have caused JF injury? I would have thought you would get a quad rupture on a squat or something not a log lift.. such a shame he is a Great strongman, wish him a speedy recovery

[@danielglatz1643]

I just don’t understand having two pressing events, and back to back no less. Could’ve made this a deadlift event. No rules against having a squat AND deadlift event.

[@kurtwpg]

And people jumped on me when I said the events weren't actually set up very well for Martins. He generally doesn't make top 2 in pressing events.

[@raymondkarlsen9995]

How could JF squat that enormous weight, and then tear his quads trying to log lift half that weight?

[@oceanbanana4341]

Quads aren't recovered from that massive squat and a mistake with that kind of weight could potentially kill you. It's sad but easy to see how it happened
