Men's Steinstossen Stone Throw - Event 4 | Full Live Stream | 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic

Complete coverage of the Steinstossen Stone Throw, Event 4 from the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic in Columbus, Ohio (March 4, 2023). Inspired by a traditional strength challenge in Switzerland, this challenge gives each competitor three attempts to throw the eponymous heavy stone for distance.
Mitchell Hooper continues his consistent performance in this one, but a determined Mateusz Kieliszkowski also makes it a much tighter battle heading into the fifth and final event of the competition.

I love this event. Just pick a big rock up and throw it. Good oldschool strongman stuff.

[@CurleyHobo]

Bro If Mateusz gets his static power up he has potential to win everything. Glad he's back

[@Hesher93]

He has good static power, the only problem is his deadlift

[@barath4545]

Aye, considering he is JUST come back from multiple years away (what it feels like), and coming in and WINNING two events is just crazy. I mean he used to be the lone young, new explosive guy, but now he does it again with Hooper and Trey in the field too. Can't wait!

[@user-tb5nq9sx1h]

@@barath4545 He won three events,not two, right?

[@tlmessage9196]

The log was disappointing from him considering his past prowess, but he's clearly still maintained strength in everything else. 1st comp in 17 months, 2nd place is great

[@johnpontes812]

He should be way better at deadlift not sure why its so far off the rest of his strengths.

I understand why some people are criticising this event for being boring but its such a good test of explosive power, athleticism and strength. Personally I love it

[@Sebastian_Polak_Maly]

I agree. I loved this event.

[@Kragatar]

Plus it's just fun classic strongman stuff. The kind of strength challenge that's been around since the stone age.

[@kristianfagerstrom7011]

Why would it be boring? People just doesn't have any attention span these days...

[@evanman4651]

I mean its really the same thing as watching a combination of shot put and long jump, both of which are olympic events, so it kind of just depends on what you like to watch

[@tomkoa521]

? I don’t understand at all why anyone would say this is boring.. this was an extremely exciting and entertaining event to watch and one of my new favorites. How could someone say picking up a stone and throwing it for distance is boring but yet not call just statically picking up a heavy stone boring? I would choose to watch this event over wheel of pain any day!

[@adamborivoj3048]

This was a great event. A real test of strength and athleticism. It's also fun to see events that are new and the athletes can not fully prepare for them so that the winner is the strongest man not just the most experienced or most prepared.

[@taunokekkonen5733]

I don't know, there is also an element of who can figure out the best technique in which case it's not a test of strength only.

[@raindropsonthewindowsill5170]

Love how primal it is, would’ve loved to have heard the pitch for this event.

[@Anuskasv0]

Loved this, you very rarely see something like this in strongman contests.

And i thought a Shot-Putt was bloody heavy and these guys are throwing a huge boulder. Love it, subbed.

This is the most ridiculous, juvenile strong man event I’ve seen in a while. God, I love it! It’s like being a kid again. Whose the strongest? Let’s make some I’ll-advised throws with this ginormous stone to find out.

[@1vootman]

Being a long time fan of strongman, at first i was skeptical, but when it got going I liked viewing this event. Explosive power is clutch!

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

Had a Braveheart flashback. "Would you like to see him squash me like a worm?" "Aye... I should've remembered the rocks."

[@Andrew..J]

Honestly I liked this event. 3 "light" movements helps the athletes recover while still throwing a stone that most people probably couldn't even get overhead

[@RainniteGaming]

Really hope WSM pick this event up. So cool

[@TheVice48]

I think there should always be one unusual event at the Arnolds, like the year they did the trial by stone thing or even the max squat was a little different. It makes it exciting for us when we have no idea who’s going to do well and also shows the ability of the athletes to adapt to something they have never done

[@ramtron1775]

This event was kind of cool. Going to be cool when the competitors figure out how to maximize distance.

[@staceygram5555]

Honestly think discus throw with one of those 45 lb Rogue plates would've been better.

[@nike80nl]

It looks like something similar that they had in the early WSM competitions . Like from the 80's.. 🤔

[@thorthewolf8801]

I hope you bring this back!

[@i_would_but_i_wont]

I like how Rogue is just recreating classic action movies for these events.

[@tayloriousmaximus]

I like the idea of the event, but I can see why it's getting a mixed reception. It's impressive when you consider the weight of the stone, but the throws just look kind of weak because of that. Strongman needs a good balance of difficult and spectacular; Truck Pulls, the wheel of pain, circus barbell stuff, car yokes. This IS a good idea for an event, I just think the execution and the presentation need tweaks.

[@quelandil5738]

What would you propose? My first take would be to make the stone lighter by 30-40lbs to increase range

[@mikeyandsky2042]

@@quelandil5738 agreed. A lighter stone to get more dramatic throws would be better for viewership.

Hooper was definitely throwing it the fursthest, he just threw it 2 feet behind the sand pit. This was fun. Love different old school strong man events!! Get them out their comfort zone

[@Adam-cs3ld]

That'll be why he finished 3rd. The marker is put down where the stone hits the sand, not where it eventually lands and Mateusz was 💯 the biggest thrower.

♦️Tom Evans Stone left his hand at 28:10 his right foot touched the wood at 28:11 and he was disqualified! ♦️Mateusz Kieliszkowski left foot touched the wood at 30:47 then just after that in the same time frame the stone left his hand and all was great! * * * * His foot touched first just before the stone left his hands.... ♦️ W H Y is it ok for one but not the other ? ? ? *** I put it in slow motion and ran it 5 or 6 times on each contestant with the same results every time!!

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

I think it would be more of a spectacle if the stone was 20-30% lighter so they could use the whole sandpit, not just the first half.

[@georgesmelki1]

Finally, height doesn't matter as much as the athlete's power and ability to make use of his speed. The distance is proportional to the speed imparted to the stone, and to the square root of the height from which it is thrown. So, at equal initial speed, throwing from a height of 2 meters gives 5% more distance than throwing from a height of 1.8 meters(sorry, I can't think in feet and inches!).

[@KeithGreenshields]

42:54 by far the longest throw if he learned to get to the box and not throw 3 feet away from the box

[@harshmehla859]

I love this competition

[@AndyChamberlainMusic]

Mateuz's technique was killer, fast run up and then pushing the rock at an angle, kicking back one leg so he can extend his body and push the rock for longer, giving it more speed and height, and just barely not falling over, saving himself by pushing off the rock

[@mccarthy86]

Fun Fact, this sport comes from a war tactic when Swiss soldiers would ambush the enemy army from the top of a hill and throw trees and large rocks at them. A famous battle where this happened was Morgarten.

[@jessen00001]

[@ajk9420]

I say it's how far you throw it. The roll should also count.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

If Mateusz doesn't get his deadlift competitive then Mitch Hooper is the future of strongman or Wide Pavlo, unless Thor comes back in 2024. Mateusz is just a beast though.

[@Shadowlein]

Shoutout to the people who have to carry these inhuman weights back after each and every try for the whole day long.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

I'd love to see Thor do this event. With his height, explosive athleticism and power he'd do well.

[@ilovechelseascottcom]

Would of liked a direct overhead footage to really see the distance.

[@PhaTs00p]

How come you managed to label it correctly in the youtube video title but messed it up in the overlay and have the casters mispronounce it. Stossen means pushing. Unspunnensteinstossen aka the pushing of the Unspunnen stone. It's not tossing the stone.

This was an interesting event and I enjoyed it. However I think other stone events are better for a competition and better to watch, such as Husafell Stone and Stone to Shoulder, which don't necessarily favor the tallest athletes like the Steintossen Stone Throwing certainly does.
