The Return of Mateusz Kieliszkowski | Magnus Ver Magnusson Classic (Athletes & Events)

[@LalasBrothers]

We apologise to Rongo Keane calling him Australian, we understand he’s from New Zealand and it was a slip of the tongue from Shane, again we apologise it was just a mistake

the flags pretty much the same jut different coloured stars or something

[@greenwendal5056]

@@RongoKeeneTheMaoriWarrior Can't wait to see you compete at the mvm classic. You are always a warrior. This line up is insane.

[@larkinj27]

funnily enough Loz said he was from Australia as well this week. Great to see Rongo, compete here let's GO!

[@kettlebells-ez9xi]

@@larkinj27 I think he's living or was living in aus but representing new Zealand because he's from there originally

[@alexanderreich749]

I really wann see Mateusz succeed ngl, he should just move in with Rauno for half a year and then he‘d probably be ready to win WSM. It hurts to see this insane talent wither

[@goldilox811]

Basically the most unique show on the circuit, the weather element is just so cool and no other event throws that extra variable in there and it makes me think of the Vikings lifting these stones hundreds/thousands of years ago at the same locations.

[@greenwendal5056]

Strongman is approaching it's golden years in my opinion. Popular enough that it draws fans, promoters, money etc but not so popular that they have to water it down to cater to casuals.

[@Kamyen316]

Definitly watch the old competitions . It was great as an old style strongman events and still entertaining

[@simay4977]

So excited to see Mateusz back. I love how raw this comp is. Cold heavy wet stones.

[@ThorsHammer88]

Hoping we see Mateusz win and then have a successful 2025!

[@crazycjk]

I think this will be a really tough comp, I watched some of last year's livestream and the weather conditions looked brutal to lift in as you both said. Hope to see Mateusz and Shane do well, I can see Aivars taking the win. Also enjoyed the pronounciation help bit at the start with some athletes' names, very wholesome

[@Thulgore]

What I love about the MVMC is that toughness is part of the equation. It can't really be measured nor quantified....but it's cool.

[@marthacoomber3188]

It’s elemental. I am excited to see what will unfold. Thanks guys❤

[@Vampire__Squid]

I am very excited. This is likely the 5th biggest show in the strongman world, since its not quite part of the big 4.

[@daviesugo7641]

The giant live shows are probably 5th

[@Vampire__Squid]

@@daviesugo7641 1-day shows are not prestigious, and thats not the point of Giants Live they are qualifiers for WSM. This contest will have 9 events and I'd say thats bang-on.

[@daviesugo7641]

@@Vampire__Squid isn't this a qualifier to giants live?

[@RubbishGimpy]

@@daviesugo7641 For WSM

[@Vampire__Squid]

@@daviesugo7641 A qualifier to WSM, its a qualifier while also being prestigious which can be possible.

[@-Erebus]

Probably my favorite show

[@magnuslund2545]

Looks like a great competition. The talent at this comp rises every year too. Can’t wait to watch.

[@BTBacon]

I am so ready for a healthy Mateusz! Also, are you guys going to do a video about the Brian Shaw vs Eddie Hall armwrestling match?

[@michaelholder98]

Glad you guys did this as I thought this already happened and was searching YT trying to find the 2024 comp footage! Love that they do it like Rogue and it’s free on YT

[@petershortland478]

It's not on KZbin its on Official Strongman now tbh financially it's better for it to be on there than KZbin

[@neal520]

@@petershortland478 not really

[@RubbishGimpy]

@@petershortland478 So we cannot watch it for free anymore?

[@ToeTheFoe]

Well said bros

[@Vampire__Squid]

Colin Bryce(who will be affiliated with the Magnus Classic's broadcasting) should pay attention to this contest. I believe the Strongman Classic could literally be the exact same calibre as this show, if they made it 2-day or even match it as a 3-day show.

[@Marcel16DM]

Never happening

[@bfish_]

Colin will be at this event

[@1vootman]

Mateusz is going to smash this one considering how his training is going, he can viper press all those logs no problem, and hes not terrible at the silver dollar DL...it will be a good show for him and Ivars

[@tribeof2035]

That’s my podium with Wes Derwinsky taking third and Evan’s Nanna top 5.

[@Micheldied]

Yeah I think the elevated deadlift is going to help him a lot.

[@kostkaguitar]

Not sure, but I think that since thIs year it is official qualifier for WSM - not sure if this include top 3 or only Winner (probably top3). I believe that Loz was taking about that. :)

[@Bbssochs]

I heard something similar from Loz and Liz 🙌🏽

[@RubbishGimpy]

Yes it is now a partner WSM qualifier competition.

[@malcolm5514]

@@RubbishGimpy oh cool I wasn't sure if it was a GL or WSM qualifier

[@torringtonstonekeeper]

This is perfect comp for matuse. Matuse shouldered a 485l b s stone easily , hope he gets the chance to do it in a comp an make the world record official

[@RubbishGimpy]

I like this competition. I like the level of strongmen too. Its the one of a few competition that crosses over SCL and a few 'Elite Competition' strongmen. The weather is depressing though but gives these participating strongmen extra kudos for competing in piss poor weather.

[@yannicgraichen]

Good timing 🎉

[@bfish_]

I believe this event is a qualifier for Giants Live now

[@Vampire__Squid]

1:01 "I believe we have found the most handsome strongman😍" Pavlo is gonna have a big problem with that lady's comment

[@JohnRaffaele]

I was waiting for you to mention if the Volcano eruption would effect the competition.

[@simay4977]

Is it being live streamed guys?

[@rogerbartley2225]

Really grip heavy comp, looking forward to it.

[@larkinj27]

I have a feeling the Magnus classic is a qualifier for something- Giants live? I can't seem to remember where I heard that though, so I'm not 100% confident...

[@declanosullivan8749]

Mateusz should win every event, except deadlift.

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Toffee King for the win

[@malcolm5514]

4:26 HAHAHAHA Come on Vytautas, the man can't even say 'three' Now you're having him attempt Latvian, Lithuanian, Icelandic pronunciations 🤣🤣🤣 It was painful seeing him try to roll his Rs for Audrius LOL

[@user-my2se7sn3s]

Looking forward to this comp old school events with outdoor weather to deal with great choice by Magnus Ver Magnussen my list of favourites to worst comps this year Arnold no 1 then Rogue, worlds strongest, Britain strongest, European, uk strongest and dead last goes to Shaw and his boring gym lifts comps that he does last year a lame leg press machine this year a squat in pretty much in a crap set up and then poor organisation with the weights on the barbell press. I really think Magnus comp is really gonna be big this year and a decent line up

[@michaelholder98]

Love this event being outside in the brutal cold…so awesome. Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
