Loz is an amazing commentator. Every time he opens his mouth I learn something.

[@The_Iowegian]

He's the best. I've loved him being a regular for so many years.

[@lordgraill]

that buttons they need to push are just lame - they don't add anything and are just confusing. Hope they'll get rid of them in the future

[@seismic6402]

When the events are timed it is absolutely right to use the buzzer because it shouldn't be on a stopwatch.

[@lordgraill]

@@seismic6402 nope, it does not bring anything to competition. They used stopwatch literally everywhere in every competition before. Atlas stones, truck pulls, wheel of pain - you name it. There is a reason all the athletes struggled with a buzzer - it was never used and they forgot about it. Also, it is just lame - the purpose of a sled pull for example is to deliver a heavy object from point a to point b. Once it is delivered - boom, fix the time. There is a dude with a stopwatch nearby anyways!

[@seismic6402]

@@lordgraill Sometimes the margins are small. Look at the Olympics. Anyway, I'm not really expecting to change your mind by the way. I quite liked it and it was actually a little bit funny watching them get used to it.

[@Sheikh_Yadiq]

Use the cameras for the finish you wouldn't ask sprinters to hit a buzzer. Its stupid

[@anywhere_but_here]

@@lordgraill also i dont understand why they didnt have a ref to give the down signal IN FRONT of the athletes for the sled pull. If multiple athletes are unclear if they're done then thats a problem

[@madmax]

FFs get rid of the buzzer. This is strongman, it's all about strength. Don't need to be thinking about hitting a buzzer after events. Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not hating on Rogue, I think Rouge do an excellent job at hosting, streaming, and paying their athletes. It's one of my favourite strongman shows of the year. But this addition of the buzzer is a poor one.

Right. What's that buzzer bullsh*t???

[@web3d124]

I mean it felt more like crossfitman in some events anyway.

[@rollinupeverest5042]

Nope doesn't hurt anything

[@ITPhilK]

They need to get rid of the buttons. Just an unnecessary step.

[@seanwhitehall4652]

nah it's good to take the handheld stopwatches out of the equation

[@Ont785]

You have judges; you don’t a buzzer. This isn’t American gladiator

[@locks69]

1. Press buzzer at the very beginning 2. Win competition

[@whitespot54]

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that thinks the buzzer is the dumbest thing ever.

[@faizalmohammed9874]

Some pencil neck decided to include those buzzers

[@smashedguitarist]

Guys. Hitting a buzzer takes a phenomenal amount of strength

[@theevildead96]

Liked this event a lot, the whole competition actually. Brings some variety to the sport. The buzzer was a poor idea though.

[@matija700]

Please put weight also in Kg

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

Rogue is an American company but yes. Just out of courtesy being in Scotland

[@adamh6730]

​@@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw American or not they welcome international athletes and fans. I'd love to see us all evolve to be fluent in both

[@based8223]

​@@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jwdon't you guys do math over there?

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

@@based8223 can’t you do the math ? I doubt athletes complain about it

[@xshayahyawzi3666]

Just convert it, its no issue. Buzzer is the main issue.

[@JTD472]

Loz is really so good at the commentary. I know these events are so… weird and can be very different from each other, so it must not be easy. His mates in the booth for this… less than amazing

[@mrgaudy1954]

How the heck has Tom (Stoltman) improved his conditioning so quickly?! He was the only athlete (besides Mitch ofc) who looked like he didn’t want to perish after finishing

[@christopherp.8485]

Tom looking good in this comp. Taking some rest did him some good.

[@Klepzeiker1984]

I hope that he will be at 150% next year

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

Was it really rest ? It was only about 4-6 weeks preparing for this comp

[@mrgaudy1954]

@@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jwI think what we saw here is something we probably all knew… Tom’s main weakness (besides the lower back issue impacting his deadlift) has been his *conditioning and diet* and you can improve that much quicker than you can strength. He looked so much quicker and resilient here.

[@tiergeist2639]

that buzzer.....forgot to push it but finished first? too bad..... not good idea

[@ChrisPBacon9]

A simple infrared light beam activated timer like they use in drag racing would be better than the buzzer and wouldn't rely on an official with a stopwatch

[@jeremysanders8766]

Strongman cross fit

[@adamh6730]

😢

[@xaviermitchell578]

I like it

[@MultiDriven]

Great video!

[@adamh6730]

Ok, amazing show, some critiques.. Be rid of that bzzr thing forever. The shield bag carry here was unnecessary, just make the track longer for the push & pull The kettlebell press I can only hope will never be seen again. Once you get near comp weight it's too big of a kettle bell. Personally as a fan I thought it was odd to see a kettlebell in Strongman but that's just me To reiterate if that buzzer could be thrown into the pits of mordor that would be fabulous Honestly all around amazing show. To see the girls get such a platform and what a stacked lineup! The guys side was a great fight for the podium! Looking forward to next year 💪🤘

[@pillmill8987]

I am very much certain Brian Shaw would own this event!

[@Nofaltuguy1]

idk how but mictell is consistent and thats make him best crazy

[@Wicked_Carnifex]

He trains like a pro, other guys just dont work at the same level. In order for the sport to grow we need more people who commit and are as dedicated as he is

[@Nebulous0_o]

Thor v Hooper on the power drive is about as exciting as sport gets. Awesome..had my sister cheering and she hates ‘macho b.s’ strong man Lol

[@HDAnalytics]

I like the inclusion of some athlete determined timer. The buzzer may not have been ideal here but there can’t be any debate about a judge screwing up his timer here.

[@Sheikh_Yadiq]

They can use cameras they've been doing it for years with literally any kind of race

[@Nattraks]

whats the point of the refs if they cant keep track of the finish line on the sled pull? the buzzer is so dumb. Make the ref push it

[@eladrio2311]

the refs kept track of the finish line, that's why they told Hooper to keep pulling

[@Sheikh_Yadiq]

Have em pull till it makes contact and if there is any issues use replay cameras not hard to do

[@j_k9855]

event made for Kieliszkowski

[@pops3554]

That buzzer though 😢!!!!

[@RickLilShore]

Good event idea. The execution was off though.

[@jurekcc9162]

Please get rid off of that stupid buzzer!!!

[@CoreyGoldwaves]

Why does Tom Stoltman sound like a British Shaquille O'Neal?

[@campinskillz5609]

Hooper's cardio is off the scale. To be able to get to your feet after that is insane.

[@matswallsten1628]

An event like this for the mountain is what can kill him.. to big for a cardio event like this

[@theevildead96]

He literally did boxing before his strongman comeback.

[@mrgaudy1954]

Yet he finished second and Tom Stoltman (who is roughly the same size) finished the event the quickest and walked away after

[@iknownothingwillingtolearn]

Evan even needed to keep it in the box?? Over the line is over the line, what was just stupid. Keep strongman STRONGMAN. Inovating is cool but just evaluate and get rid of all the crossfit bs in Strongman

[@web3d124]

It's dumb I agree.

[@adamh6730]

Yup 👍

[@renedupont6116]

buzzer is bs. that sandroll on the left was off-center and mangus gave singleton a hard time to push it over. not everything is perfect here

[@eladrio2311]

I actually didn't notice it watching it live. But you are right Tom Stoltman's sandroll was more centered than Singleton's, Singleton's was touching the line. Magnus should have stopped before they even started and told Rogue to center the sandroll. It was not Singleton's fault, he was rolling it mostly straight.

[@sapienthought1103]

DAMN HOOPER is making unsual mistakes in these events

[@prdoyle]

Hard to blame him on this one. The event is weird. They can't even tell when they're done from where they're sitting because they can't see whether the sled is touching the platform, and then they need to hit that stupid button.

[@eladrio2311]

No mistakes, he just lost to Hafthor who is known to destroy people on arm over arm

[@neal520]

the events are just silly

[@mangomode4646]

get rid of the buttons

[@davidkosiba624]

You can just see how much stronger Thor is (except the press obviously), but he loses so much time on the running events , i think he could do much hetter in powerlifting cause there only your actual lifting strenght matters, if he can press 200kg above his head then i don't see why bench presses again would hurt him, strongman is literally half running at this point , entertaining? Sure , but it is not about who is the strongest anymore

[@adamh6730]

The sport has always included movement and athletism to a degree and Thor is one of the all time best. Even beating more athletic opponents like Mateusz and Singleton at their best over and again. I don't like Thors personality but his fitness for this sport is unquestionable

[@eladrio2311]

Strongman has always been like that, I don't get folks like you who said that it's "not about who is the strongest anymore" it NEVER WAS. And Adam is clearly a sad deluded brit, I'm sure he loves little old Eddie's personality, participating in defamatory videos, bringing your kid to the middle of a prefight press conference, making your kid lift heavy for his age just for youtube views...

[@cuzjesussaidso]

Not a fan of the way the implements look to be honest. They could look a lot cooler and more strongman'ish

[@NicholasMavrikBrandt]

this stupid crossfit bullshit again, we want to see whos the strongest not the dam fittes. and the dam button come on is this a gameshow from the 90's?
