[@raphaelaugusto7663]

I'm a big fan of Brian Shaw not just because he's a monster but because he's such a nice guy without an inflated ego. God bless him and his family.

[@robjef622]

Novikov really impressed me here.

[@ezet]

Yeah. Didn't realize how good exactly that attempt was untill seeing the top guys struggle

[@Sealed_Chamber]

He looks like a Romanian warlord.

[@ricardoalmeida4719]

He was the only one to pick up a completely dry stone too...

[@Evan-co5pf]

I would add he was the only one to carry the stone with the smallest point facing the bottom in a “heart shape” everyone else picked up the stone a different way. I don’t understand how other strongmen failed to see this and carry it the same way.

[@ginnipig]

Feel bad for Brian. He wanted to see how the stone was yesterday but it was still on the pallet. Looked like locking his fingers at the start just didn't work out. Keep fighting Brian!

[@robertsuhrer5604]

Ditto!

[@bigtxsdude]

He just doesn’t have the ability to beat Thor & it looks like he might’ve not practiced this event enough. Not good, he’ll be lucky to finish in the Top 3.

[@AdarshRajCR7]

Brian Shaw was busy doing fuckery with jujimufu while Thor was giving it all in his gym as we saw in Larry wheels videos.

[@deathlis]

@@bigtxsdude Factoring in how strong Brian is, and how ready he was/injury free this time around, that doesn't look like just a practice issue; not when you consider how low he placed compared to the more inexperienced guys. Also not when you consider how he trains each event for months to prepare. We may not have seen videos of it, but you can be sure he practiced it a lot. It seems far more likely this was due to being injured on that last elephant bar lift. I'm hoping it was just a twinge or something a good nights rest will help, but no way he placed that low in the rankings outside of injury. Really, really hoping it was something minor, and he'll smash the events tomorrow. Honestly, considering how many hamstring injuries that fucking bar has caused this year, I hope they throw it out in future competitions. That whip is obviously way too dangerous at those weights for anyone who hasn't got an elephant bar of his own to practice on first.

[@Rootcauses451]

Hafi and his team have done amazing publicity work especially with his appearances in Game of Thrones appearances, his collaboration with Larry Wheels etc... but for pure dedication to this sport, Shaw takes the prize.

[@angangseh_]

I looked up the husafell stone carry during the live stream, so I wasnt surprised that Thor won in the end. He managed to carry the stone 90 meters in 2017, shattering the 25 year old world record by 20 meters. Seems to be an event he excels at, but I think the attempt at the 501kg and the certanty to beat Shaw with ease here, might have made it harder for him (and of course you cant replicate world records whenever you want). Impressed by Novikov, because that carry was a big statement to the other athletes.

I think Thor is the strongest man on the planet right now, Shaw shouldn't retire as he is the only one who could challenge. If wsm or arnolds have certain events it would make the contest closer ie truck pull, pressing, etc, also Thors technique is poor for stone to shoulder but he's still good at it using pure strength, if you look at Kileskowski or Licics stone to shoulder they have much better technique. If Thor improves this with a few events and stays injury free, no one will stop him for years though.

Appears to be uncomfortable, putting a lot of strain on the fingers. It seems easier to rely on grip strength.

And the margin of error for your grip is much smaller. Your fingers can slid longer across the stone and keep grip than if their interlocked.
