My FINAL Performance, The Strongman Classic.

[@ravivarma5841]

39 Years old, having to pull out of WSM 2019 due to archilles injury, coming back 2 years later after not competing for a long time and joining the top level again is definitely an inspiration for me.

[@MoralesCorner]

Loz is a machine. I'm sure he could have another go if he takes his time to get back in top shape but I guess you need to put things into perspective and be smart at this stage.

He'll be back in the Shaw Classic next year or the one after.

[@lenisemicolon]

I teared up during this, especially seeing Bill Kazmaier with tears in his eyes saying Loz would be missed 😭This was a much more epic setup to retire with than WSM even if it hadn't been for the injury. Great venue and great crowd.

Well said. Thank you for an amazing performance, Loz! You're an inspiration to so many of us!

Auntie Liz to the rescue! That 4th rep was legendary. Goosebumps.

[@Walnick71]

Wow.. what a moment.. US 🇺🇸 fan here Uncle Loz, been watching you compete your whole career. Such a blessing to be able to step out of what you love in such a spectacular display of strength. You helped define one of the greatest eras of strongman. I wish you all the best in future endeavors and I can only hope that I'll get to shake your hand one day!

[@harleyross664]

[@cantilever]

Outstanding, professional-quality video. Brava, Liz. You show the things we want to see: the hotel room, the food (when you lift heavy weights, food takes on a whole new level of significance, almost fascination), backstage and behind-the-scenes banter. Keep these vlogs coming as Loz commentates for various shows around the world...

[@jimllbreakit8537]

The last 4 minutes of this video may be my favourite 4 minutes of any Strongman video. Congratulations both of you for making an old man cry x

[@hedgehog1965uk]

I lost count of the times I teared up during this video. I wasn't expecting that. I so wanted Loz to do well, and he didn't disappoint. I hope this competition will be televised in the UK.

[@Nighthawk2211]

Never cried after a strongman competition before. Congrats, Loz! Glad we can still follow you and Liz on your future adventures.

[@danielmerriman8118]

Loz you’re the reason I love strongman and even got interested in the sport. You made me bawl watching this and scream in my house so many times. Thank you for all you’ve done for the sport. Wish you nothing but blessings and happiness in your future. BIG LOZ IS THE FUCKING MAN!

[@reino4309]

I've got to say, so glad to see you able to come back, and go out on your own terms. You smashed it. But what the strongman community is losing in a competitor, it is gaining in a commentator, advocate, promoter, etc., Ten-fold. I got goose bumps throughout this video, and that is a testament to how good you and Liz are as content creators for strong man. While your competing days are done, your impact on this sport is just beginning. Thank you both for what you're doing, you both are absolutely brilliant, - Colby

[@scottallan1668]

It was awesome being in the royal albert hall watching you do what you do best. You definitely got the best reactions from the crowd, I've almost lost my voice cheering for you. Watching you do that 4th rep on the deadlift was amazing. Watching you pick up that frame and literally sprint the length of the course was crazy. I was on my feet cheering for you all night long 🙌👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mattysmith83]

Me too mate it was electric in there. His standing ovation was amazing and fully deserved 👏

I think some training session with Loz and Biby would be great to watch! You did so well Loz, what a lovely end to a truly fantastic and well earned career. Retire proud.

[@beverleysorbie5065]

You had a tear in your eye? I had tears all down my face and t-shirt! I was on one of the upper balconies in bits during that standing ovation ❤️ you're one of my all time favourite strongmen and always will be. It was an absolute HONOUR to be part of the experience and share the experience with you. I always think of you when I'm psyching myself up for the farmers walk, literally, every single time. I always talk about you to people who don't really know the sport, always always always bring you up, and I always will. I could see your face when you sat down after the 170kg axle and I said to my partner "I just want to go down there and give him a hug" I could see it in your face that you was disappointed, but trust me when I say, that as a massive fan of yours, and all the other fans of yours (which going off the cheering for you, was literally the whole room!!) we was all so so proud of you! On the Sunday, someone tapped me on the shoulder after seeing my Giant's Live bag and said "Did you enjoy the show?" and we literally at the same time said "Man, that standing ovation!" and both agreed that you're going to be incredibly missed, but will never be forgotten ❤️ Oh, I also saw Jack Osborne, he informed me of his upcoming competition in Liverpool. Good luck Jack!!

[@DreynHarry]

Big Loz - the Doctor Who of Strongman - when he came to the scene - I thought, "yeah a new guy, the old ones have been so much better anyway!" - then time went by and you start to go fund of him and he grew on you, you cheered for him, your worried for him when he got hurt (which happened a lot, unfortunately) and then when he left.... you shed a tear (well, not only one). Farewell Loz, what great final performance, what an inspiration and thanks for all the fun you brought us and all the best for your new home and stay with us in the strongman circuit.

[@steveunderwood8145]

I bought tickets for the show the moment you confirmed you were competing. It was an honour to be there in person and to hear the love and support for you from the crowd. I even heard people shouting ‘Auntie Liz’

[@maritaeir]

What a tribute this video is to a legend doing his last comp. I teared up and actually cried at the end for the last minutes. (A 48 yr old woman, but yes, I cried and I cried good) I and many with me will miss you in the heat of the fights to come. But you can leave with your head held high. This was really amazing to watch. MUCH LOVE to you Loz and Liz from Sweden.

[@darkkyngaming]

Watching the way strongmen interact with each other, and the way the crowd reacted to Loz… I’m not crying, you’re crying!! Seriously, what a way to go out man! Well deserved for an incredible ambassador for the sport.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

5.5 points behind the current WSM and only 2.5 points behind Luke who nearly got on the podium. I think we can call that a pretty decent comeback! Now the question is how many more events we'll see won by strongmen/women trained by Loz as well! Love that little moment with Bill at the end too, that was great to see.
