NOVIKOV dedicates WIN to Ukraine at Royal Albert Hall

[@yan3066]

I'm grateful that Oleksii Novikov is still alive and bring is A game all the time. War doesn't care who you are or how big and strong you can be. May God protect him and all the Ukrainians.

[@j2shoes288]

Are Russians not worthy of God's protection?

[@yan3066]

@@j2shoes288 Yes off course, the ones that are innocents, not those who are killing civilians and children. For my enemies, I pray that God open their eyes and make them turn from their wicked ways. Sometimes it is better to not follow orders when your leader is evil. Ukraine wants freedom and peace, I hope they will find it.

I love how Novikov celebrated for a second or two, and then immediately went to cheer on Hooper. I love the comradery between athletes in Strongman.

Найкращій Олексій Новіков!!! Україна переможе!!!

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

Congratulations Novikov. He seemed intense, he has a lot on his mind and I think he takes representing his country very seriously. I think he was choking up a bit.

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

He wasn’t the only one.

[@gregpickett8816]

I'd imagine he's also kinda pissed about WSM this year. He was so close to taking the title back from Tom.

[@Txb4g]

What a tough guy. Slava Ukraini.

Mitch Moose Hooper, possibly another Brian Shaw type of guy. Super nice, super strong and talented.

[@greigite5191]

i feel like mitch hooper is another oleksii, great technique and very fast and quick, but doesnt lack static power

[@gregpickett8816]

Give him three or four more years at this level of competition and he's gonna be a serious threat. Hopefully he stays healthy and avoids injuries.

Still making everything about himself. 'When I did stones I didn't have tacky, it takes a really tough guy' Same with his interviews with Laurence Shahlei He cannot go five minutes without praising himself even when he's talking to an actual competing athlete

[@user-my2se7sn3s]

I’m glad Eddie Williams has got a good voice because I’d hate to be the guy that had tell him to shut up. 😉

[@Mogglez32]

Hey man, I missed watching the comp today due to other plans and was looking forward to watching it tomorrow. I briefly opened youtube to watch a video and saw this amongst the recommended videos, and it (through the title) immediately spoiled Novikov as the winner. Bit of a bummer, but not the end of the world. However, would be cool if you'd consider keeping the titles of similar videos spoiler free, if it's possible :( On another note, glad to see Novikov win and it'll be interesting to see the other placings!

[@fabiank485]

But then you have to avoid all social media

[@douglasnisbet1189]

Don't go on KZbin if you don't want spoiler videos. Pretty simple.

[@Mogglez32]

​@@fabiank485 I'm not sure I agree. I think it's okay to have some expectation of content creators to try not to spoil the audience just as a competition just finishes, knowing that not everyone is able to see it the very same day. Similarly, I think it's reasonable to expect of someone like me not to go to places where I might expect someone to spoil the results, but I don't think that extends to all social media. But in this instance, it was in the title of a randomly recommended video, which is something that easily could've been avoided by content creators not putting spoilers in the titles. I think Loz and Liz put up a video with a title going roughly "Strongman classic results". I think on reddit people also avoid putting spoilers in the titles, but I'd obviously avoid going into any strongman related thread, with the obvious risk that people might mention the results in the comments, even when the thread seems unrelated to the event. So essentially, I think it's a bit of a two-way street, where hopefully people can try to be respectful and smart about it :) Sometimes however, shit happens! Anyway, that's just how I look at it.

[@Mogglez32]

@@douglasnisbet1189 I mean, I read books, watch movies and follow competitions. Is the expectation then that I should pretty much avoid being on the internet at all times? This video popped up as a recommended video, it wasn't even a channel I am subscribed to. Or is the more reasonable compromise that content creators try to avoid putting spoilers in the titles of posts/videos, coupled with the expectation of me, as a fan, to avoid actively seeking out places where I might get spoiled? Anyway, sick guitar chops by the way! :)

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

@@Mogglez32 the point of KZbin video titles is to grab attention for maximum views. Nondescript titles would be counterproductive.

@@Lonewolf__666 Yeah I think he may not know Mitch as much, of course comparing the stone run vs Luke Stoltman it was very different as he and the Stoltmans are good friends.

Stop politicizing strongmen, its so annoying. I went to Europe's strongest man in Leeds this year and Brits were cheering novikov more than their own strongmen, it was pathetic, standing ovation, etc

[@Azimut_85]

What do you want to say? What did Ukraine do to you? Times are tough in Ukraine right now, Russia is killing civilians like Novikov every day. The Ukrainian nation is the strongest in the world, I can list many big names, but I think you don’t even know them. Usyk, Lomachenko, Cyplenkov, Emelianenko, Vovchanchyn, Vlasov, for example, Arnold Schwarzenegger took an example at the beginning of his journey from Vlasov, Arnold himself spoke about this. What do you have against Ukraine?
