What a nicely spoken man Dennis Kohlruss is!

[@alexkearns2280]

Dennis is such a nice guy, I love Liz's impromptu interview!

[@J.P.__]

Nice to see Dennis representing the Germans. He has his own KZbin for anyone wondering. Sadly didn't do as well as he would have hoped, though for him it's quite a big stage.

[@irishwarlord100]

It was his first time on a massive stage like that he shouldnt beat himself up about it💪 I was there and got a pic with him and I let him know he did great.

[@DreynHarry]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the angelic sound as soon as Mark Felix comes in the picture. loughing my ass off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and Dennis is the most untypical strongman appearance ever.... he looks the part... by a mile, but as soon as he start to speak you think you stand in front of kid psychologist. so soft spoken so silent so calm and patient and for me as German native speaker - with no dialect - it is so funny if you compare his optic with his voice. GO DENNIS! 🙂

[@pseudopetrus]

Because of Big Loz and Auntie Liz, I feel a personal connection to all the strong man (and women). I am having a hard time picking a favourite, so I root for them all!

[@Seraphatum]

Dennis Kohlruss did great for being first time at the ESM and representing Germany :D All those Athletes are beasts! Thanks for all the hard work everyone did for this amazing competition and congratulations to Pavlo!

[@Phil-S8]

Watching Pavlo basically jogging with the Conan's wheel was insane.

[@brycewilson]

Dennis seems like a really nice guy

[@cantilever]

The strongmen assembled at table is always enjoyable content. They're eating, they're happy, they're talkative...

[@reallymysterious4520]

I like that part best as well

[@theDavitos]

it might also be told the stories what happen in past during table with world strongest man , Magnus Ver might tell the story about when all order water as its healthy and one order a beer and rest got food poison while beer drinker didnt all because ice cubes in water caused sickness in camp.. if i recall it was either Magnus himself that order the beer or Jon Páll but i think rather Magnus.

[@3spirited167]

Aivars is very quickly becoming a super star of the sport get him on the camera more in fact get all of them on camera more so we can see the personality of all these amazing athletes shining through ! !

[@connorrimo2730]

Ivars is just pure gold, i love him.💪

[@Igoranvonluzk]

Pavlo Kordiyaka did a great job.

[@JoshO423]

Loz & Liz consistently provide the best quality footage & content. They could start their own production company hired by these shows.

[@raivisbazjuks5280]

Darren Sadler is absolute legend👍👍👍 Loz & Liz thanks for all the work u put in to show us all about Strongman 💪

[@steveunderwood8145]

I love these videos because they give a much bigger picture of the whole day for the athletes. The fun and chats before the show, the nerves before the first event and the feelings in between events. What makes it so good is Loz and Liz’s relationships with the athletes which allows us to see their relaxed and natural sides, which we understand it don’t really see on the mic on the stage.

[@BolFelix]

Go Pavlo! Hope we see and hear more about him

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

I believe he is a Nurse, or something in the medical field. Seems like a great guy. I believe Loz interviewed him last year.

[@lyubomyr6457]

@@anthonyproffitt5341 he’s a masseur and yeah, a great man!

[@vfxforge]

congrats Handsome Pavlo! and Novikov & Avarz!

[@oeraisun2010]

Dennis is friendly. I like him.

[@Standing_Stone]

Aivars: I need to build a house! I need also money! ??: I have a wedding to pay for. Aivars: Wedding is not so serious, like building a house. Wise life advice from Aivars at 46:03.

[@jaket2274]

Aivars is hilarious and a great addition on the channel 😂

[@steveunderwood8145]

Aivars is a gem. One of the best things about this channel is that we as fans have been able to get to know brilliant characters like Aivars and Rauno who don’t have much of a social media presence.

[@RobG001]

Great job Liz, thank you for all the work you put into filming & editing, to enable us to see what is happening behind the scenes.

[@rmur4820]

There is no crying in strongman, must have gotten something in my eye, but damn....So happy for these guys! Great job Liz. I say it all the time, You need a trophy!

[@tiff.hilton]

Thank you so much for all the work you put into recording and editing these videos Liz!! SO much gratitude for you all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA!

[@franz61xxl13]

A BIG THANKS TO LIZZY AND LOZ for this awesome "Behind the Scenes" Vid. I always love to watch this, as a hardcore fan that`s the better part of the comp. to see. cheers from Austria, Franz

[@joeanderson444]

The music at the end during the podium ceremony was absolutely legendary. Keep it going!

[@rickdrent]

Like always a joy to watch, thanks auntie Liz

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

Hell of a podium. Congratulations to all.

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

You always bring the best content. Some may bring it sooner but rarely is it better. You relationships with the Strongmen make all the difference.

[@jimllbreakit8537]

Always the best and most comprehensive behind the scenes coverage. It adds a completely different element for the viewer.

[@HubertTheMad]

Thanks for all the hard work both of you put in for this as well as all the other shows that have BTS. Big fan of Dennis, hoping we see him in more bigger comps!

[@willjones7898]

Me and my son travelled up on train from hereford for our first live show and the standard was amazing and to see a wr broken topped it off And also thank you for helping making my sons weekend loz he had pic with you as we bumped into u as we arrived at hotel

[@Thulgore]

God DAMN, I fucking LOVE this sport and even more so the competitors within!!

[@dango9786]

Podium so epic with the music 👌

[@liamc7097]

Just imagine what a well rested Aivars could do

[@reallymysterious4520]

Avairs has been hanging around Rauno too long - some of Rauno's grumpiness has rubbed off on him - lol - love them both !!!

[@markheywood8236]

I was at the show and Pavlo was awesome. I knew from event 1 Aivars was in shape too. Felt for Bish and Shane. Bad starts left em with a lot to do and there were some fast turnarounds for events on the day...but the top three were well worth their positions. Pavlo may find it tougher at Worlds when the max weights go up a bit but this was a breakout performance. Dynamic. He could be at the top table very soon.

[@1985Belva]

Thank for the behind the scene video ❤

[@Holdfast-]

Really happy for both Pavlo and Aivars! But it's a damn shame to see Novikov lose on stones like that, it looked like he had it in the bag as well up until that last one ... Oh well he'll have to settle for winning world's now

[@rfc2003]

Love these b.t.s videos, thanks both! 👍

[@tomweston]

Got my tickets for next year's Europe's today. First comp. Can't wait!

[@troywillis167]

Mark and Loz need to go do Brian's blob/ Thomas Inch challenge

[@chadspivey9620]

Awesome competition ...Awesome content...Congratulations to Pavlo...he has been working his ass off the last few years....now it's starting to pay off....very happy for him....I knew it was only a matter of time...

[@geebutteree4755]

This was amazing to watch in the arena, still buzzing, and seeing this behind the scenes is fantastic, thank you so much, really appreciate the effort you put in ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@madmo_1148]

Appreciate you both for sharing this!

[@michaelsweeney1283]

Love "behind the scenes" footage you do a great job

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Yay 👍 Thank you Liz👏👏

[@Music--ng8cd]

Magnus just has a way with words.

[@_SaRcAsM_003]

Чудове відео, наші козаки як завжди на висоті!

[@masterorion812]

Thank you!

[@Callum_Lifts]

Been waiting for this since last nights live Thank you as always 👏

[@EddieTheEagle01]

It was a great show, loved it and got a picture with Big Loz and Felix, im proper made up

[@sheriffbullet]

Hi Loz and Liz, A good video would be a top 10 video on the top 10 WSM finals all time. I also like your idea of doing a vid on the best strongman competitiors not to get an invite to WSM this year

[@jaket2274]

2009 would be a great one. That podium had 13 wins on it with Zydrunas, Brian and Mariusz

[@thorthewolf8801]

How heavy is the anvil they use in warmups?

[@sambasedsamurai9338]

A bit closer to my dream of seeing a podium at an international competition where all three places are going to be ukrainian, Oleksii, Wide Pavlo and Handsome Pavlo. But this sport is so wholesome and brotherhood is so strong, I can't help but be happy for any podium, all the guys are great people and great athletes, so no matter the result you're happy, what a great sport!

[@Galadir]

Pavlo deserved to win but still sorry for novikov, it seemed like a tacky issue.

[@ryantracy1531]

In Eddie’s video, he said the stone was breaking up. Just like in novikovs training. I bet he’s pissed about that. But hey, shit happens.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

I was right in my prediction that Kordyaka might sneak at the top.

[@landonprien7575]

Novikov is looking HUGE

[@michaelmullins1290]

Great job Auntie Liz. You should've gave pointers. You know as much as most people do. Great job Pavlo. Another smaller competitor.

[@joshf5826]

Are the giants live shorts the same as the Stoltman ones?? I want a pair

[@jevinjensen6209]

You can really see Novikov’s lat bugging him on that last stone, hopefully that heals up in time for Worlds

[@jamescleave7337]

Anyone know what was up with Novikov's hand at the end?

[@atherstonestrongestgrandad5036]

If some athletes just get invited to world's I was wondering, What is the point of the qualifying tour? Thanks.

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

Hopefully hicks gets that chest congestion sorted.

[@seang7934]

A truck pull event in giants live would be awesome

[@Outland9000]

Is Novikov's walk-out song Go_A? What would _your_ walk-out song be?

[@Patrick00011]

Eythor should be known as Thor. That other Thor is merely half thor.

[@theDavitos]

well you could call them both Thor... Hafþór mean ocean thor , Eyþór mean island thor.. i think it even fit for you as island is thicker and hard while ocean is wet and soft but still Water can remove island easy so...

[@iysaw]

Pavlo shows you don't have to be 180kg bodyweight to succeed, I think the big guys need to take note if they want to do well.

[@TJ-ss1up]

One exception doesn't make it the rule. Wait till he's gotta push a 200kg log or max deadlift. Great for speed but hamper his static strength.

[@lonestar2495]

@@TJ-ss1upnot really true man more modern athletes prove most weight isn’t everything it’s about being a better all around athleted

[@Jules-vf1zq]

​@@TJ-ss1up given Pavlo finished the medley I think its very likely he can log press over 200

[@marybuster5349]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Smitlors]

Love the BTS videos its like you are there with them congrats to handsome Pavlo cant wait to see how it plays out at Worlds next Christmas 😂

[@guy.l8147]

Totally over the moon that pavlo won this time

[@Fishermanstails]

Anyone know what happened to Gavin Bilton and if he will be ok for worlds?

[@tabascojoe77]

💪💪💪

[@Rautajermu]

"Yeah Pavlo.. Nakonechnyy... wide" :D

[@codygeck]

Paul walking out like he's lost 😂😂

[@bonniebryan6216]

Damit Liz why do you have to end with that song :) makes me feel like a proud daddy

[@CatNerfer3000]

Gavin is just massive

[@forteka81]

❤

[@Chimpmanboom]

Wait are there 2 Pavlo’s in the strongman scene? Is this not wide Pavlo?

[@mattbison1]

Yes there are 2. Pavlo Kordiyaka aka Handsome Pavlo (in this video) Pavlo Nakonechnyy aka Wide Pavlo

[@BearMedine]

What about "Quick Pavlo," "Swift Pavlo," or "Fleet Pavlo"

[@Yahya_the_goat]

💪

[@Patrick00011]

Did I catch Aivers say after the deadlift “now I can go again smoke”?

[@petershortland478]

It's true that Aivars does smoke 😅😅😅😅😅

[@ZenithAngel]

Auntie Liz's behind the scenes have left Romark's behind the scenes so far behind

[@Bulleie]

Aivar is the best 😂😂😂

[@MrHyabusa1300]

Not sure of Novikov not lifting the last stone ..

[@samuisi]

He wants to be close to the people. No I want to be in my hotel room and sleep Lol Aivars "Sleepy"

[@shahaf75]

I think this is a good indication for Mateusz. If Pablo can win ESM with a weak deadlift he can win WSM with the same weakness.
