Mitchell Hooper's 1 in 1,000,000 Performance

[@TheodoreMiller-w5c]

Love how Mitch doesn't participate in the smack at all, just gives his honest opinion then laps everyone.

[@hannibalb8276]

yeah people talk trash about him and he doesn't even entertain it, he just shows up and wins

[@cisrael468]

@@hannibalb8276 Mitch does say straight up which events he can beat which athletes in and people take it as cocky smack talk. IMO he’s just saying what we’re all thinking

Amazing show 🙏💪 first live show I’ve seen since Excel 2011 and what an amazing competition and venue awesome job giants live and competitors 💪

[@yan3066]

Thanks to Giants Live for making and sharing this awesome behind the scenes of an awesome show who keeps getting better and better. 👏👏

[@johnyoung5413]

Been to a few venues for giants live since 2017 now and royal Albert hall is still my favourite. Was there for the 3rd time this year and the atmosphere was incredible

[@Samhallsfeber]

Great video! More like this! 🤩

[@Torch2mua1]

This didn't end well for Evan Singleton

[@Pletzmutz]

Well yes, he unfortunately got injured. I don't think he could have beaten Hooper but he probably would have made things more exciting at the top.

[@bronchoped]

Thats the most dominant performance in a one day show in the history of strongman. Mitch is a freak amongst freaks. Watch him rinse Smoe and Rogue

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

Handsome Pavlo is next level on Conan's wheel. The foot speed is incredible. 😮

[@TonyStark-xc7je]

I really wish Evan Singleton would get rid of his whole "WWE" persona bull....He is such a great strongman but bringing that kind of attitude into this sport is just grating.

[@PronatorTendon]

My friggin word, how inspiring. Mitch has accomplished more in three years than the vast majority of strongmen do in their entire careers 💪🏼

[@iielysiumx5811]

Mitch hooper still on his way to becoming the GOAT of the sport. Man almost makes it look easy, a mutant among mutants for sure

I think the faith Eddie Hall has placed in Hooper has been proven correct. I don't think Eddie would back someone's claim without truly earning his respect.

[@wanderer_oti]

Sounds weird when you say it like that

[@danb2533]

Smashed him by 2.2 pounds. Maybe...

[@tommulford7138]

Love Kordiyaka getting third. He's a unit and not many realize it.

[@espenstoro]

The sentence "He's got smile on his socks from his daughter" sounds absolutely insane out of context. 🤣

Mitchell congratulations on your new world records! May the Lord always bless you and yours! I’ll tell you like I told Taylor L. You are the new normal get used to it, brother.

[@los1wochos]

Mitch is a monster

[@cisrael468]

13:35 You guys remember when Thor pulled 501 4 years ago? hehe

[@RobG001]

Not in a competition he didn't, he did it at he own gym. As he is back in the strongman world now, I'm betting at some point he will beat his own record in a comp, and sooner rather than later. :)

[@nicholassmith7048]

No, do not recall.

[@espenstoro]

Remember how we've all moved on since then? No? Just me then.

[@iielysiumx5811]

[@cisrael468]

@@RobG001 he did it at a strongman sanctioned event in his commercial gym which he owns. That’s typical for most strongman/powerlifting comps

Great comp. Such a shame about Evan🦖 Singleton getting injured on 1st event.

[@glenanderson6164]

It's been 8 years since someone pulled 500 from the floor in England yes

I could do with Evan just focussing on strongman and leave his inner The Rock away. He stole one of the rocks lines.

[@user-ft2md2gd4s]

more like 1 in 500,000,000

[@iielysiumx5811]

Yeah Mitch is a mutant among mutants, the fact he can move the weight he can weighing “only” 140kg (by elite strongman standards that is light) is mad

[@aposthorovaldemitosaidiab8054]

[@spokeen6249]

[@bdegrds]

Mitch got the record fair under current rules BUT there should not be many chances with unlimited rest, no other sport does this. It takes away the need to rise to the moment overcoming nerves/pressure. Thats what makes things like the Olympics so special, those spectacular moments,

[@Nick-gg6tg]

Record is a record..

[@SergiuNw]

While I get your point, the fact that you miss your first attempt, it's almost a guaranteed losing battle. It rarely happens that you hit it the second time. It has to be a major error on the technique, that didn't allow you to use your entire strength and that just happened to Mitch. When he managed to get his technique right, he lifted it very convincingly. You have no chance of doing that on a deadlift though, you get way too fatigued. Most guys who tried it on deadlift, they barely moved the bar on the second attempt. So again, it's very rare that someone fails and then lifts it successfully. It's more of a moral second chance, cuz most people and even the ones that do the attempt know it's highly unlikely to be a successful lift. Mitch knew he did it in training (or a very close number to that, idk for sure), so his belief was really high and it showed that he could do it.

[@vaporcman1965]

@@Nick-gg6tg if you change all the rules to beat the record then the record means nothing at all...

[@crazy10bears]

"unlimited rest, no other sport does this" There is no unlimited rest and plenty of other sports give you multiple chances, including Olympic sports. I've seen you make this comment before and you were corrected so why are you still making it?

allow me to say,,, Giants Live Strongman is doing an awful job in promoting the sport.... I love SM competitions,, I watched all WSM challenges since inception.,. I'm very interested in following the news... but the entity doesnt publish the competitions preview like before.. just headlines without real information... what happened to the 45 minutes recap videos of every competition? were people more technically advanced in the 80th that we find most competitions in awesome viewership state?

[@iielysiumx5811]

They are still no where near as bad as WSM organisers, you still basically can’t watch 2022 onwards legally or easily

[@benjoyce2383]

What are you talking about 😂 sold out arenas don’t lie

[@Ian-if2lf]

don't like how a spit is the same as a clean press? (eddie halls was clean) don't like how resting the handle on Thighs with bent legs is ok in wrecking ball, (mark felix was all grip) . I don't think Hoop is doing the same as these guys, Hoop is using tricks and cheating.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Why have you singled out Mitch? Pa and Pavlo also used the split jerk? A lot of them also rested the bar on the legs on wrecking ball too.. it’s only cheating if it’s against the rules, which it isn’t

[@Ian-if2lf]

@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Go watch the recking ball event 2022 none of them ''including Hoop'' had bent legs a much cleaner example of the event and a far cleaner record . singled out? that's obvious nobody else is claiming world records by doing something completely different from the previous world record holders .

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

@@Ian-if2lf Why not compare it to what the athletes did in this contest? Or at englands strongest man and britains strongest woman a few weeks ago where they did similar. Yes singled out. 3 athletes in this event used the split jerk but you only said hooper was cheating. (which he isn't because it's not against the rules) Eddie and Biby were allowed to jerk if they wanted to... Are you saying they should be allowed to jerk but not if it's for a world record? It doesnt matter what technique the last two record holders used. Eddie and Biby used a different technique to the record holder before that

[@Ian-if2lf]

@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN I did not say he was not singled out, read my comment again, I said it was obvious why!, the others were not claiming world records through tricks/cheating if you are comparing lifts in order to compare strength It needs to be like for like, there are strict rules about deadlift for instance, a sumo stance is not aloud to break a normal stance record because they are different mechanics involved, if you are bending knees and resting a bar on your lap you are not testing the same grip strength as someone who used grip alone! and then calling it a world record?, if you really want to test to find out who is ''strongest'' then the same mechanics need to be used. its quite obvious stuff! its not a good look if you are calling it a grip strength record but it was your lap that took the load, it may work out good if Hoops trickery shows that the rules need to be tightened same applies to the axle press, its not really a press event if you are snatching it up and duking under it, don't call it a press event call it the axle up event, language means something!.

[@bronchoped]

He never did any trickery. Wrecking ball hold is not a grip event.. its proven to be a pain tolerance event. As long as the ball doesnt touch the ground its good. You are just mad that he dominates your favourites​@Ian-if2lf

@@hannibalb8276, no he doesn’t. As of now Hooper has a 7-3 winning record on Thor. But the gap isn’t anywhere near as great as it looks. Thor was dealing with his pec injury so obviously he wasn’t going to beat Hooper in Apollon’s Wheel, Stones of Strength, Austrian Oak and the power medley. The other three events were grip events which histrionically are Thor’s weakest events. Even still, Thor always came second to Hooper.
