[@ISOSAILING]

that was epic!!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Thank you 🙏 . We put it out in full as we hoped fans might enjoy seeing it in full.

[@peaceloveforever88]

oh yes

[@Natalie_villalona]

Yes the hell it was!!

[@gear8649]

I think Mark Felix should be studied for a cure to immortality.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Couldnt agree more. The man still doesn't suffer aches and pains like the rest of us and he is closer to 60 than 50. its insane!

[@ericjohnson9477]

A cure to immortality would infer negative connotations. If immortality did exist why would you want a cure for it?

[@dustinm800]

A cure for mortality?

[@AlanLennox-ei8uj]

Evan playing the pantomime villain perfectly whilst still showing respect and encouraging Mark in the wrecking ball.

[@Tiger-wi5mu]

Im 26 and I will probably be long gone and my grandchildren will still watch mark felix perform in strongman

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

lol - im guessing it might be your grand children's grand children actually haha. Felix is a wonder of the world

[@Columbian.sand.blasted.nostril]

Absolutely love the WWE transition during the Dumbell press 🤣🤣. Evan plays the heel so well

[@Columbian.sand.blasted.nostril]

I’m at an age now where I appreciate that position, it brings me so much joy listening to people boo and yell funny things

[@anidiotsguide757]

Also, props to Big Bull Bilton for reacting like a classig babyface!

[@hannahhodgson8368]

Thanks so much Giants Live for putting this show up for us to watch! It was amazing and great to see both strongmen and strongwomen taking part. Maybe a bigger show with more nations is needed in the future :)

[@MrValonievs]

can't get over how big the lads are, I still remember watching Shahlaei towering over everyone else 10 years ago, now he's the "normal sized" dude interviewing. Shahlaei was and is a great treasure for Strongman world

[@trzaskubejbe]

Shahlei is only 188cm. Not that tall for a strongman, even 10 years ago. Actually in 2013 both Thor and Brian Shaw competed, and both were taller than all of the guys here.

[@sistockbridge8764]

Why does this not have more views!?!? Love the energy and showmanship. Evan playing the heel was hilarious 😂 More Nations would bring it to the next level as well, that'd be cool

[@neumichel]

because it has women (you could say "because it has men" i suppose...but not so many fans of women's strongman out there). some people only enjoy competition among relative athletic equals and not group play.

[@thedolenorway]

I had to save this to a time when I could appreciate it in full, and oh boy what a treat it was! Thank you Giants Live for letting this treasure out!

[@Barbassten]

It would be greatly beneficial if the weights of the lifted equipment were added to the screen during post-production. Thank you.

[@knowwe]

Fantastic! My only suggestion would be that perhaps there should be a point for the fastest/best woman in each round and a point for the fastest/best man in each round rather than just one point for the best/fast person. Makes everything count even more that way.

[@ezramorency7422]

What a great show! Thanks for the great edit and show!

[@Psalm116_]

This is really cool they put this together, but honestly, my favorite part is seeing how fast these guys can actually run

[@donutsndeadlifts]

Santa came early this year! Im loving this! Merry Christmas and GO USA!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

So glad!

[@adamrojas9235]

this is so damn cool! Thank you for posting the whole thing!

[@nathangilman6665]

This was absolutely awesome. Please keep doing these

[@onslaughtofterrorJW]

I love seeing full comps posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

thanks for letting us know. Its noted.

[@paulbudford]

Great show. It's a really nice format. Especially great to see how amazing the woman's performances are.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it! The show is one of the way we look forward to showcasing how impressive the women's strength really is - and impressive it is!!!

[@knowwe]

The size of those chicks is crazy!!

[@romanstingler435]

Tug of war was sooo cool to see, just super traditional competition challange.

[@wastelander89]

Great video as always

[@Priimerra]

thanks for this great show

[@justinroberts742]

USA USA USA!!!!!! UK is Awesome as well!!

[@mlord692]

Really really entertaining!!!! It's awesome seeing the strongman sport get bigger and better each year.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

it is great you have taken the time to write that. We really do appreciate it - a lot. Im glad there are so many like minded people out there and it will only give us fuel to make more shows and videos. Thanks back to you for watching and supporting.

[@GABO2844]

Me encanta esto! Deberian hacer mas eventos así! Que mal que el equipo de UK perdiera porque soy fan de eddie, pero no importa porque fue genial el evento. Saludos desde Chile.

[@ManuRomer0]

Espectacular 🔥🔥🔥

[@tylerwilson8243]

Wow what a race!

[@everythingstrength1485]

Martins and Evan keeping Kayfabe at Giants live 😂

[@daviddalton5831]

lmao!

[@Bison-id5mo]

What a competition i cant wait for next year.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@MultiDriven]

Great video!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Thank you

[@YannMetalhead]

Great show!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

thanks

[@julianhernandez6457]

Hell yeah, great show. I cant wait for next year. Have you guys ever thought about 4 or even 8 teams over a few days? That would be insane. Giants live #1 And lets fa-king go t rex, he smashed it.🇺🇲🇬🇧

[@RickBomhof]

this is awesome. hope we get a rematch

[@belesdan1886]

My main reason to like strongman sports is because the athletes are all so nice to each other. Putting up a show, but friends in the end.

[@mohsinshahbaz5846]

Epic Battle ! All guys giving their all 💪 , my favorite moment was 55:44 😎😎😎

[@r.nanderson2990]

Great show! Great people! All the Athletes, the Giants live crew and the commentators. Well done Giants Live. 👍 And merry Christmas. 🎅

[@leandraogomes7918]

Mark felix ..grip monster .. arm wrestling 👊🏾💪🏽

[@JingyJingJing]

Evans character is wicked

[@XxExoNine]

Strongman is so much more fun to watch with DIRECT competitions like this.

[@strengthmuscle5529]

Great show put on by both teams, hell yeah.... USA, USA, USA (LOL)

[@AClarky]

Well done to everyone involved 👏 great performances from all, uk could have stepped up a bit but we slow down a bit at this time of year for some reason, uk for the win next year hopefully

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Thanks for message and glad you enjoyed it.

[@holger420]

Can wee maybe bring iceland next year? Great show! well done everyone behind!

[@snipescore3302]

I think Canada has higher lvl talent but would love to see 4 countries go up against each other 🎉

[@logi508]

I don't think Iceland has many top strongwomen and with Eythor taking a break from strongman it's only just Hafthor and a few other amateur guys

[@user-pz7pv7xv1n]

❤always beautiful, love from Italy

[@user-tn1sm7nl5n]

Excelente evento¡ Duelo de Titanes🇺🇸💪🇬🇧 😎🇲🇽

[@biff1667]

Haha enjoyed this! Well done USA great sports, thats why you're our allies. Unlucky UK, you did well.

[@romanstingler435]

I think these full comps help to spread the love for this sport.

[@Natalie_villalona]

I freakin loved this... Great idea!! Cant wait for the next one!! Congrats USA!

[@benotyourboss]

How heavy are the axe deadlifts?

[@zakkarykeith]

Both teams have some transformers lol this was a good one 😂

[@Ripplin]

Thank you, but should I wait until after the World Tour Final to watch, or does it matter?

[@timlee5687]

it doesn't matter. this is just a fun competition. the world tour final just means its the last giants live of the season.

[@Ripplin]

@@timlee5687 Yeah, I was just wondering about spoilers...though I already know who won everything anyway, locked in the back of my mind somewhere. :p

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

This won’t spoil anything (I don’t think) - I’m assuming you are UK viewer and enjoying the ch5 shows.

[@miguelclarke4620]

damn big dawg! Go Team Human Will, Spirit!

[@TheEvilWithinKevin]

Evan is the best thing in strongman right now.

[@grainnemurphy6870]

Everyone out on a great show - but I would be fascinated to see a women only team comp!! US vs UK vs probably Canada, and then an “others” team would be great😊

[@derwinmt89]

Asia also

[@notademonrat]

that was a fun way to start Christmas thank you Giants live very fun event.

[@janagmcv]

Grandes enfrentamientos, admito que muchos de los concursantes de UK ya están para ser capitanes (no para competir), USA vino muy fuerte a esta competencia 👏🏻👏🏻 Mi favorito Eddie me hubiera gustado verlo jugar un poco más pero entiendo que ya no es su momento, (debieron invitar a mas concursantes 👍🏻) La vigencia de Mark Felix, que disciplina para mantenerse en competencia 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Lucy una grata sorpresa ( recién la conozco) de las mejores competidoras 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@themissingone32]

Mark Felix is amazing

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Gracias por mirar y comentar. Agradecemos su apoyo.

[@mikewells6831]

Im all for strongman and woman earning more money .great event. Thanks to all . Just didnt understand the scoring. Like 4 points for 1 event

[@petrasaid9348]

we love u all

[@marek6135]

Poland,Ukraine,Russia,Lithuania, Georgia,Iceland

[@davidbreuer5961]

Beating a time with Tom Stoltman and Gavin Bilton in Tug o war looks pretty much impossible

[@chazs6057]

Why wasn't this shown on channel 5??

[@mostdope3178]

56:34 that a man giving 110% right there...

[@peaceloveforever88]

i can't belive how TOM has taken so quick a 150KG SAND BAG ohhhhhhhh, very strong

[@andrewshaver5800]

Martins looks so much like Hacksaw Jim Duggan at the end it's crazy. Only missing a 2x4. Hoooooo!!!

[@ZombieModz1]

Cmon uk !!

[@peaceloveforever88]

GABI DIXSON is the new hope for Womens so cool

[@user-ft9tu6bq1q]

Eddie man you deffo could of brought that win home again man 2024 will be the UKs the me to shine again

[@romanstingler435]

Damn, I think this is the reason to visit the UK for me

[@aiims891]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@simongreenwood445]

Eddie hall really enjoyed singleton, a⭐⭐for effort

[@davidrogala7597]

good times

[@darylkanofski9327]

Overall it was size that won out in the end

[@SoybooCow]

Has anyone else noticed, you never see Lucy Underdown and Graham Hicks in the same room at the same time???😁😁😁

[@maxfryer5827]

So does Eddie contribute in anyway apart from head cheerleader?

[@elliottengstrand5988]

Yeah it is quite odd that Eddie didn't do anything. Tom should have been team captain and they could have included anyone else on the GB team. You'd think they would implement a rule that says (barring injury) every athlete MUST compete in at least two events or something. Force the teams to be careful who they use for each event. Rather than just having Evan carry team USA.

[@chriscoulthard4947]

He competed last year, he brought the team back this year. He is retired though.

[@biszkoptbiszkiewicz1054]

Marc "inhuman" Felix

[@anidiotsguide757]

You can tell Evan used to be a wrestler. He went into this wanting playing pure 80's heel!

[@roohaa8382]

Still have not seen 2022 or 2023 WSM so what are we doing here?

[@dudeman8338]

it was on cable

[@holyhex6520]

@@dudeman8338 it isn't the 90s or early 2000s though. People have been moving away from cable for a decade now. WSM really needs to get with the times, or rather the owners of it need to figure out the ad revenue for streaming to upgrade into the 2020s with the rest of us.

[@byzantinebill]

Lmao, I love Evan 😂

[@2kgrind597]

How he’s an arrogant tosser

[@peaceloveforever88]

hello MARK FELIX

[@CR41G7P]

Its not xmas without strongman events :)

[@koushiksunar3477]

💪💪💪💪

[@jasonito23]

Mark Felix always showing up. Props.

[@simongreenwood445]

Should have had an English and American as commentators, im English and for the Americans it's already harder not being on home soil nvm the comments during the performance plus the lack of croud support, otherwise really good show, always nice to see friendly rivalrys, maybe should involve the french next time 🤣 and everyone else we ever went to war with

[@patriciaraffier2970]

Brjs a tous ses superbe j adore cette emmissions dommage que cé pas soutritrer en français bisous a tous de la france😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thahardcoregamergstorm7779]

jim hacksaw duggan hoooooooo!

[@aposthorovaldemitosaidiab8054]

👍💪

[@narayankulkarni5378]

⚔🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸⚔

[@b_rabbit435]

Why won't you say what the barbells in the deadlift weighs or the dumbbells in the press weighs? it kind of diminishes the guys performance by showing only the amount of reps when they are performing with a 60% heavier weight.

[@biggino4476]

I like Evan but the move on Gav was really immature from his side. Cmon Evan...you're better than that.

[@Tiff_lifts_alot]

Right... he still got a lot of growing up to do.

[@PullsPressesCarries]

Is just for entertainment brother not that deep

[@Flyxolydian91]

It's called theatrics my guy, they both did their bits perfectly.

[@user-zs9xs6hf8c]

I hope Mark Felix never stops

[@andrewchisholm3665]

Who said stronmen couldn't do pantomime 😂😂

[@chriscoulthard4947]

These athletes train together but compete as individuals. Great to see them compete together occasionally

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

glad you enjoyed it

[@user-bv4oo6wo3y]

Why is Eddie there?

[@knowwe]

Dammit!!! : (

[@akramebrahim1446]

Bilton took part in to many events . He just wasn't up to it. Maybe hall should have competed more maybe deadlift ?

[@TheresAHoleInTheEarth]

Evan is funnt asl😂😂😂

[@user-nh5re9xr7l]

Come on team UK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤

[@user-ml7lm1is9g]

lucis needs a 2x4 and he's Jim Duggan

[@tobiaswolf735]

i think its a bit unfair that Martin Licis is allowed to compete and Eddie Hall is not! Otherwise GB would have won, even with an Eddie Hall which lost over 30kg in the years after his WSM-Titel and 500kg Deadlift!

[@blaCCiez]

that brother on the UK team sold out. he could easily had taken that lead.. took his bloody time./

[@stuartmacdonald5361]

Team USA did have a slight advantage. They had an extra member in their team, due to the fact Eddie Hall never helped in a single event. Why was Hall even their?

[@siarheikaravai]

Why Eddie did not compete? Tug of war does not count

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

He is quite long retired and the spectre of injury looms large in such a hard sport.
