Seems like Mateusz didnt know what Hooper knew, which is lap the log before the whistle and then just having entire life time to press the log?

[@wasim.j]

Right? Just about everyone could have gotten an extra rep, if they knew (assuming most didn't know).

[@florianmcslag7472]

That's one of the strangest rules ever - and I also guess, neither Kiel nor the other competitors knew that ...

[@bmstylee]

@@florianmcslag7472 or they didn't pay attention in the rules meeting. It's the same in a lot of sports. If you start the play/rep/lap before time expires you get to take the attempt.

[@Anonymous-sb9rr]

Hooper said no one was talking about it, so I think it wasn't communicated well. It's so stupid, because this could have a real impact on the completion. If he'd finished that rep, he would've gained 2½ points.

[@Sebastian-mh8jx]

sorry, but if these pro athletes are too stupid/ lazy to read the rules carefully it is 100% their fault. since hooper knew it was communicated well enough.

[@warlordmel]

Impressive of Hooper to be able to do that after 1 he failed to get up... SUPER IMPRESSED of Toms SPEED, how STRICT he pressed and still more then Anyone else... King!

[@JBS7551]

Hooper never gets his head through

[@Gdynianin87]

the last repetition of the hooper should not be counted... 10 seconds after the whistle. nonsense

[@Gdynianin87]

rules are rules .. changing the competition also for hooper I don't like this guy anymore...

[@Jaozedong-q5h]

Funny how they didn't let Kieliszkowski finish. He was slacking off anyway, but he might have got that 8th rep easily had they not stopped him.@@Gdynianin87

[@bmstylee]

@@Gdynianin87 I love Hooper's energy. He's reminds me of Novikov and Licis with a bit of Singleton's showmanship. They win an event once in a while but they never tank an event (see Mateusz on the deadlift) so they stay in the mix to win. Not so sure about the Bud Light though. You're in Texas. Have a Shiner which is a good beer.

[@richieewinns]

I sure do miss Mateusz just one motioning logs like it was nothing. Hopefully he gets back to his former self fast enough!

[@bmstylee]

Sadly I think he's on his way down. He still has the injuries in the back of the mind. As someone who has completed in sports for a long time (obviously not at this level) it can stick in your head. I still get nervous when guys try leg locking me because of injuries that are anywhere from 10-20 years old and not even remotely related to martial arts. Knee injuries suck if you haven't had the privilege. I bet he's mostly healthy as in strongman you're beat up regardless. However unless he can break the mental issues he's at a ceiling as of now. Well....that and if he can avoid zeroing on the deadlift.

[@BroCactus]

@@bmstylee He was 1 motioning a heavier log in training during prep for this contest. Not sure what happened. Anyway, 7 reps is a great result. Could've had 8 if he didn't bail on the whistle. Which is top tier. And he had no urgency in between reps. Could have gone much faster .

[@Sebastian_Polak_Maly]

He's fine, and could have done much better. He said in interviews back home afterwards that he hadn't understood the rules, and could have easily gotten one more. He had paced himself after the change in rules. A complete lack of understanding, change of rules and events, lead many athletes not to compete at their best. Mateusz still one motions logs this easy and much more back at home. Wouldn't worry mate.

[@petershortland478]

​@BroCactus doing a log in training is different than in comp because it's your kit your using

[@wheelhouse44]

Big Loz is spot on about Evan Singleton... in years past he has just wasted so much energy carrying and screaming... Much more composed and focused. He is definitely getting it!

[@nike80nl]

Thank you Rogue for the quick releases 💪🏼👌. Double thanks 🙏🙏🎉🎉🙏🙏

[@Testoodope]

After Mitch Hooper's 8th rep he spent 20 seconds catching his breath before touching the log again. He started to lap the log 4 seconds before the whistle. He held the log in lap position for 2 seconds before the whistle blew. He kept the log lapped for another 3 seconds past the whistle. He then cleaned and pressed the log and got the down call in 9 seconds. That means he essentially had an additional 12 seconds over the 90 second time limit to get that rep. That's essentially a 13.34% advantage, without factoring in the rest time between the 8th and 9th rep that he could afford due to going over the time limit. Not knocking Hooper for taking advantage of the rules in that way, but it's a silly rule in the first place. What was stopping him from lapping it at 89 seconds and holding it lapped for 30 seconds to catch his breath? As far as I know, that wasn't against the rules. Do we really want this to become a normal gimmick that each athlete does? I don't want that. It's a very very VERY inconsistent rule in my opinion. Hopefully they learned their lesson and don't implement it ever again.

[@moritzbenedetto4819]

absolutly agree still very smart from him to take advantage from that rule dont misunderstand me i am 100% on your side still find it cool how he was the only one who thaught about that so i still think he deserved that you could clearly see it was his intention from the beginning

[@dlkmp7527]

Rules are the same for everyone, what does it matter if they get to rest more for the last rep? I like this much more than having athletes loose a rep just because the clock runs done a split second before they're locking out… so frustrating to see. Of course, it would be much nicer if everyone was made to understand these rules, Matheus clearly didn't know about it when he tossed the log away on his final attempt.

[@Testoodope]

@@dlkmp7527 Absolutely not. It's a gimmick and turns a 90 second time limit into a ??? time limit. I've seen very few people say that they like that rule. I guess if you read my entire comment and you still don't see the problem, then we'll just have to agree to disagree and I hope you don't run any strongman comps anytime soon.

[@hugodogobob]

He read the rules and had no advantage over the others. No one else decided to make use of it. He confirmed the rule, no one else did and that's on them.

His lockouts were questionable on a few more reps, but that's not the bad part. The bad thing is the inconsistency in judging. Novikov got a no-lift for a perfectly good rep.

[@LambClone]

@@sagebauer1077 one of the rules is that your head has to come through and that the weight is under control. His head did not come through and he was given the down signal too quickly for the weight to be considered under control, so no actually he did not follow the rules at all.

Bizarrely it seems only Mitch remembered about this rule… and Loz is his coach 😅

@@lukedelarme6111 well in all fairness you started the attempt. Look at other sports and if the play starts before the whistle you get to go on.

Some doggy lockouts always thought you had to be fully locked out straight with the log over your head some of hoopers look a bit soft from the side camera view

[@stefannilsson364]

He didn't put his head through on a single rep. Now, maybe they didn't demand that. Also giving the downsigal instantly when Hopper locked out his arms while waiting for other athletes to show control at the top on every single rep seems weird. I think if you took the hardest call on the log lift event and applied it to all athletes every last one of them would have gotten reps taken off. And Hooper wouldn't have been given a single one. But that's not his fault, it is the referee who applies the rules differently for different athletes. Not a good thing.

[@Anonymous-sb9rr]

Meanwhile, Novikov got a no-lift while doing a proper lock-out.

[@LambClone]

@@stefannilsson364 Yes usually the rules out that your head has to come through for it to be counted as a lockout, and although his arms were locked out, he was leaning back with his chest and head the entire time, which I think doesn't count.

If anyone was honest, Hooper would never get a single rep on overhead presses. He never fully extends. He does more of an incline press and stays leaned back to let down, yet they give him the reps. There's very poor consistency with judging.
