SMOE ATHLETE INTERVIEW Ft. AIVARS ŠMAUKSTELIS

[@Markymark1993]

Aivars is always a joy to watch compete

[@nivekk360]

Love Aivars!! He got a podium at shaw classic already, always a threat

[@nicholassmith7048]

Aivars is always a great conversation in addition to being a great strongman.

[@martinnilsson5295]

The only? Smoking strongman and still good cardio

[@petershortland478]

​@@martinnilsson5295 and tired

[@magnuslund2545]

Aivars is a greatly underrated Strongman. He is always a pleasure to watch and root for.

[@WeTryMotorsports]

a tired Aivars is a dangerous Aivars! he's such a jovial guy, gatta love em

[@jlim9411]

That’s why he’s so dangerous. You don’t know if he’s about to pass out or kick it into overdrive. 😂 He always seems to have a little extra in the tank.

[@espenstoro]

Tired Aivars with a cigarette is a hard strongman to beat. He's always so much fun.

[@barryadcock7332]

That was the best interview yet, it would be great if Aivars makes the top 6 !

[@nicholassmith7048]

Aivar's constant smile and jovial personality is a bit of a weapon as it disarms the other guys and lures them into a false sense of security, to their peril. When he steps out onto the floor, he lets go a roar and flips the switch.

[@Doubledexter]

Aivars is a fan favorite for a reason. Super jovial and funny but also a dangerous competitor. Has won a lot of international comps can't wait to see how he does hear.

[@larkinj27]

Excellent to hear more from Aivars, he was within a hair of winning Europe's strongest man this year and hopefully he's in even better form for SMOE.

[@Vipinnnn17]

This was the best interview

[@mediaproof960]

It's so cool to see a competition ran correctly. I mean, even from the outside, this just feels different than the others. The promotional aspect is awesome also.

[@Eparker09]

Aivars! ALL the best to you. Its a joy to watch you work.

[@Nirsterkur]

All the best Aivars!

[@lb3598]

Aivars is such a great guy

[@CoryFalde175]

Getting stoked for SMOE!

[@lindseyah]

I loved hearing the personal updates and then getting into the comp, it is nice to get to know the athletes more! Go Aivars the 🦁 !!!

[@travLee7]

🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬 In the chat for Aivars!!!! Lets go!!

[@Klepzeiker1984]

I saw him compete at the scl in Groenlo Holland, beast of a man🤙🏻

[@igoryounes3745]

Let's go Aivars!!

[@tribeof2035]

Let’s Go Aivars you have top 6. You are one of the most experienced athlete’s with events and have consistency across all of them.

[@carlh296]

Such a great guy. A pure credit to the sport

[@marcusorillius6971]

Can’t wait! Love to see Aivars in top 6!

[@bnorth812]

By far my favorite strongman. Can't wait to yell and scream for him at SMOE in a couple weeks.

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

I don't think I have ever seen a real interview like this with Aivars though I've seen him compete several times. Seems like a super nice guy. It is not that surprising though. The sport of strongman has a lot of super nice competitors and people who care about the sport. I have never seen another sport where the athletes root and cheer for each other like Strongman. There are a lot of good lessons here that can apply to business and life.

[@bartondean4260]

Kick some ass Aivars!

[@ryancarailott8465]

Great guy all the best for show

[@lokokosak250]

AIVARS is the best!!

[@gotzvonunentberlichingen1452]

The invincible Tiredvars!

[@jessehall9420]

A tired aivars .. is a dangerous aivars lol... but honestly such a good guy.. but i love it 1 min before he has to perform.. he switches to a real beast... very consistent n dosnt have too many weak points.. so always dangerous for the top 3 or 4 athletes... i predict 6 or 7th placing which with thid line up.. is world class

[@ORagnar]

Jovial guy... great to see! 0

[@1vootman]

Good luck to Aivars at the SMOE💪

[@MTGBroker]

Brian didn't talk the most on this one. Funny Aivars

[@ibrahimsekalii423]

Was so dosapponted neither aivars or rauno made finals at 2023 worlds. Was looking forward to watching both

[@dunstonmunson8314]

Everybody likes Aivars.

[@tedschenker8813]

Can't wait to see the Aivars power yawn and war cry! lol

[@daniel59413]

Davai Aivars!!!!

[@5055672439]

This guy is so funny and entertaining

[@LCDRformat]

One of my favorite Strongmen!!! He signed my T-shirt at WSM!!! It looks like shit

[@petershortland478]

If Aivars is awake, then we have a problem 😆 🤣 😆 because tired Aivars is dangerous 😅 people sleep on Aivars ALOT because of the alot of comps he does and how fatigued he feels but he is stupidly dangerous at right events. stones, fingers to stairs and squat are his best events

[@heidigee9064]

💪🏻

[@tabascojoe77]

💪💪💪

[@Vampire__Squid]

Brian didn't believe him when he said 550 lb stone. A 550 lb stone is like a 1000 lb deadlift, no exaggeration thats probably perfectly accurate.

[@jonnylieberman]

What a guy

[@ThorsHammer88]

Aivars is the best

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

A little bit tired

[@IceArrow-dr8yd]

Aivars is the compleed opposite of mattheusz

[@MAWietrzykowski]

DOG

[@undefeatedgaul3201]
