[@simenandersen3262]

Thanks for highlighting this! This contest was fantastic to watch, and I was extremely impressed by Mat! To get in between Hooper and Stoltman on the podium in 2023 is a legendary performance

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shwenty]

Absolutely awesome

[@ToeTheFoe]

Hell of a Strongman 💪🙂🐎

Raggy is a beast. Definitely a big chance at podium this wsm. Quietly mogging. With the wsm events that we know he is definitely a big threat. Guy deserves much more invites. He should be in the big 4. Should het him on a podcast. Your podcasts were great. Fire them up again

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Thank you for your feedback! Aiming to get back onto the podcasts ASAP!

[@bronchoped]

Of course, he's Maori. Imagine people coming in and bullying the staff on his watch 😆

Pretty sure he's Samoan

[@1vootman]

Half European half Samoan from what I've read

[@tonybarfridge4369]

@@1vootman That totally explains it, he's an islander. I just thought coming from NZ...
