SHIELD CARRY (FINAL) | 2023 World's Strongest Man

[@ChairmanAntelope]

11:00 “Eddie how difficult was it, those final metres for Mitchell” Why not ask Mitchell, you’re literally interviewing him.

[@camlop8635]

He does

[@anray7602]

Mitchell Hooper endured that impressively.

[@IRONRIDER97]

Almost died 😂

[@oktaviu8668]

​@@IRONRIDER97nah, he is smart, used his back first, then his biceps, then his forearms. That was what kept him going

[@BL-hj7ht]

Hooper was like "I don't always carry 400 pound shields around, but when I do, I crip walk"

[@justvalar4645]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA...................................................................................................

[@star08094]

😭😭 Turned sideways and started crip walking while eyeing down his opponent. Absolute Menace Mitchell

​@@justvalar4645are you okay?

[@anthonyhale3634]

That did not resemble any sort of crip walk. Let's try better next time.🤦🏾

[@Eminim97]

Hooper is 28 years old and destroyed everyone. He will be dominating for awhile at his age. 2024 he will win too

[@NSD-fp9qj]

Aged wine

[@markknight6364]

Didn’t age well did it

[@WarBrokenSP9]

Yeah, he didn't, Caledonia! Come on!

[@magmahawk583]

Way to count out a 2 (now 3) time wsm winner Tom Stoltman

[@pedro380085]

lol he lost

[@runtimus5743]

The ref says "turn" and then calls it back, such a odd decision.

[@adamborivoj3048]

Pavlo clearly didn't cross the line but the referee clearly gave it to him. Bad judging in my opinion. Why do you even have just 1 judge for 2 athletes?

[@mustang8206]

Bad refing is just a part of sports but they should have had 2 refs

[@jp05598]

Clearly it was clearly clear

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

Would’ve been the first one to cross the line anyways. Should have just crossed it convincingly.

[@petershortland478]

I'm friends with Pavlo and we all know that mistakes like that cost u. Pav will learn from it and tbh I think if u looked at points Pavlo still would have still come sixth anyway

[@jp05598]

@@petershortland478 I get being a stickler for the rules but why take away the full 20m and not just give a tax of 5m or something? Even that is pretty substantial. He prob went 19.9m

[@oktaviu8668]

Loved it how Tom was cocky and all and Hooper outperformed him right after

[@johanjotun1647]

we're witnessing the birth of a pothole at the end of each carry

[@Subgenrelol]

Hooper is an animal. I remember the first year I saw him compete (2021 maybe?) I knew he was going to be monstrous in another year or two. Also insane how fast the Slavs are, they just dominate in the speed department

[@simondean5227]

The ref told pavlo to turn, he should have been given the full distance.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

WSM has been a joke as of late tbh for many reasons including this

[@magmahawk583]

It went over my head at first but the replay ten seconds later literally showed the ref giving Pavlo the all clear, so like wtf???? Just give him the distance then cuz you told him he did enough

[@misteral9045]

Like yeah he technically didn't do a full lap, he did 99.99% of a lap. Take the missing inch off, don't take the whole lap.

[@magmahawk583]

@@misteral9045 if the ref never gave a signal then he deserves to not get any of the lap, not just inches off imo-except the ref seemed to give a signal then try to take it back lol

[@misteral9045]

@@magmahawk583 But if they're measuring for total distance, then why is the ref needed and why does doing a full lap matter? Some people go more over the line than others, I'm sure that's counted and if it's not then it should be. The line should be there as an arbitrary point because turning with the weight is part of the exercise, and if we didn't want to see them turn then they should be on a circular track or something.

[@howardbennett9708]

Love seeing all the athletes go

[@i_am_fatman007]

Poor tom and kordiyaka.. What a fighter hooper nd novikov.

[@daviesugo7641]

No one can deny Hoopers need to win

[@cent0r]

They got a forklift to move the shields back to the line lol

[@jackspinner4727]

Haha was wondering how they got that back.

[@ryant1506]

Hooper may be the most athletic strong man ever!! Crazy

[@miladirani4313]

I love natural events , this events is something you see in real life , i doing like this with boxes in our company

Props to Thragg for his superb acting skills as if a 400+ lb shield would be a challenge.

Nice to see Ol Eddie on the other side of the mic now.

[@nakazatelen141]

I can instantly hear Nick Best saying he has a world record in shield carrying in my head..

[@krush1892]

I was there in person and only a year later can I actually see the competition in general and there aren't even jackasses on ladders blocking the way.

[@deividas_kimontas]

Hooper! 🔥

[@DJlegionuk]

come on tom you clearly stopped and had more to give.

[@lucaslucas7597]

Yes

[@stephenhagen8976]

In his defense, he had clearly won... Until he didn't.

[@badjaeaux]

i don't know where they've been all my life, these are my viking brothers

[@Pound4Pound23]

As a 6+ year fan of world strongest man, it took me a while that the final was split into several videos. We need better broadcasting.

[@adarshkumar4336]

Would be nice if the weights were also mentioned in Kilograms.

[@rjmawhinney6482]

Haha nice. Now, you know what it feels like for people in the USA, pretty much every time haha.

[@varunkadam6638]

Divide weight by 2 is approx in kg

Those shields are wicked!

[@mariustetlimo5990]

That will show you how extraordinar you are

[@dandychiggins7240]

What's the point of that crossing the line rule? I mean, they're not counting how many times they touch the lines, but the distance they carry the shield 🤔

[@distortedsteeve2980]

A 20meter penalty is robbery! Tom definitely could have kept going also he got way overconfident.

[@theisnoplanet]

ppls just dont wanne ear that we are on a planet guyz, give it up!

[@fireofhislove3395]

The Canadian Shield

[@swaritt2777]

BS. Are you calculating the farthest distance or seeing who crosses the line? Its not like he was trying to cheat. Just subtract 6 inches or something

Where do live, that most dudes around you are 6’3?

U don't know your flag then

I'm not sure why they aren't required to carry those shields, like one would carry a shield. I mean it only weighs 430 lbs lol

We want Eddie

[@ToeTheFoe]

💪🙂

[@diamondjoemazing]

...why were people booing specific athletes, like Luke Stoltman? Classless behavior.

[@WellDoneProduKtions]

Not boos they’re saying the names “Luuuuuke” and “Hooooop” for Hooper. An announcer explained it during another competition.

There shouldn’t be ANY booing ffs. How disrespectful of the crowd. Fair enough if there is a bad judgement decision but for the crowd to be booing competitors just because they aren’t from their country is pretty pathetic.

[@GuitaristJesse2442]

i think the said LUUUUUKKEEE!! for luke stoltman

[@timbraun5258]

And they call Hooper Moose. So whether they are cheering HOOOOOOPER or MOOOOOOOSE, it could sound like booing.

[@raidchaser443]

Atlas Stones as final event made LEGENDS out of Kazmier,Svend,Magnus,Pudzianowski,"Da Hulk"...SHIELD CARRY...!?!

[@dinointhetube]

The one thing I hate about strongman competitions etc is I want to see static weight not running endurance.

[@petershortland478]

Then watch powerlifting

[@hhiippiittyy]

They do all kinds of events. Many are static type. Your preference is not uncommon though, and a frequent discussion amongst strongman enthusiasts. I like 50/50. Things like this shield carry are unorthodox enough to test different types of "strength", imo. But a good old fashioned log press (e.g..) is necessary in the mix.

[@gregorwhyte3699]

Except that is a fundamental part of strongman. It's literally called strength athletics for a reason. Otherwise it would be exactly like powerlifting.

Why are they rushing it's all about distance right? Really a bunch of muscle heads 😂😂

[@skya6863]

The difficult part is holding onto it with the arms, if they move faster they won't need to hold it as long, it's obviously a good strategy

[@TJlolbagger]

Try carrying anything close to that heavy and walking slowly. You wouldn't make it anywhere near as far as you would moving quickly, it's all about the upper body muscle fatigue.
