The fact that eddie had 2 broken fingers and didn't get any points off the first event and came 3rd is absolutely incredible!

[@inflameslp311]

Anyone else here because they really needed to see Brian in his prime after watching him fade out of contention this year?

[@Menthix]

He did his best and he's still the goat, but yes I was here to see him in his prime :)

[@walkerhormuth]

Was sad to see, but legends never die. I feel like he’ll have even more of an impact on the sport not competing.

[@colelmore]

Results of this weekend’s strongman show blows apart any doubt that he is still capable of winning. Glad he got to end his career on his own terms.

It was horrible.

its a vuvuzela, they have it at Soccer games too.

[@espenstoro]

Doesn't help that all the 2016 videos are terribly mixed, dialogue and background is at the same level. Exhausting to listen to.

[@jacobpitcher7313]

Facts, that would’ve been so annoying to listen to while trying to throw those. Especially on thors attempt it was non stop…

[@bensingleton9146]

One of the best to never win it all

[@josephbloxham3992]

I hate when commentators say "they're throwing it way too high on the first kegs/barrels, need to conserve the energy." It's an explosive event, kind of an all or nothing lift.

[@jasonread5017]

yeah sometimes letting IT RIPP /FULL ON cansave energy and at times reseving can be bloody hard .= Do what feels right at the moment .

[@topesmcgoat]

Seriously. Risking another toss by barely missing to conserve energy is worse.

[@Mike_Levinson]

From 2009 to 2017, it was the best era of WSM in my personal opinion. Big Z, Shaw, Hafthor, Eddie, Mariusz, JF Caron, Martins, Konstantine, Jenkins, Burke, Mateusz, Hollands, Big Loz, both Mikhail's, Ortmayer, Poundstone, Pfister etc. So many greats!

[@beepyou34]

Great to see Kaz and Magnus so heavily involved that year. Phenomenal performance by Brian Shaw, capturing a 4th title. Legendary!

[@whitesimurgh6363]

Eddie Hall is truly a BEAST, absolutely no doubt.. he is so firkin strong as much as Shaw while being at such a disadvantage of height... Truly the WSM, Respect!

I've come to comment section right after I saw that😂

[@erangigunasena1127]

He had dislocated his fingers then that's why he couldn't carry it

[@eddyflo2978]

I was busting laughing

[@bobbymadojemu1463]

Eddie would have definitely placed much higher if he hadn't dislocated his fingers and bombed the frame carry😓. But that didn't stop him from making the podium, a true beast 🔥🔥😤😤

[@kucuser]

Made no diffrence, his grip strenght was not on a pair with best, nieghter his speed. He could have gained 5 maybe 6 points on it and still had 3rd place.

[@John333Scout]

@@kucuser Agreed he would of still been third but I think if he did have those extra points he wouldnt have agreed to tie with Shaw in the deadlift event knowing that was a place where grabbing a point from Shaw would have been crucial to his (more possible) win and Eddie was the best deadlifter there and would have most likely won that event. Which would have played into Thor's favor, maybe leading to him not rushing as much on the overbar event idk... but a half point there and then a full point on the over bar over Shaw and Thor would have taken and could have taken that win. Eddie and Thor both gave away points to Shaw in those events that i believe they both could and should have won.

[@ektoras_fl4943]

Be wouldn't ? Like there is no way he could cover 9 points to surpass Thor on this one

[@petershortland478]

Nah, Eddie would need perfect grip strength, he has decent grip but it wasn't consistent

[@eligenovese783]

@@John333Scout i agree

[@007therealjamesbond]

Really hope Shaw can win it again before he retires.

So many new faces in this comp!!!!!! Good for strongman!!!

Martins, and Mateus are very impressive this year. Gives more context to licis’ success now.

Gonna miss Brian so much, time for him to go change the face of this sport

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

Going to finally see my first WSM ever. Sad. It will be Brian’s last though.

[@_Guitarlos_]

I’ll always lose it at Colin yelling to Eddie for sliding the frame. Feel bad for saying that because it was a horrible injury that prevented him from possibly winning the comp, but Colin yelling “EDDIE!! EDDIE!! EDDIE!! EDDIE HALL!!!!!” Will always make me laugh.

[@nolantoohey5978]

The plane weighs 40 metric tonnes(88,200 pounds) on the British version but here it weighs 44,000 pounds. 🤨

Brian shaw is the best of all time.

[@tricker14]

Its weird to see that hafthor can not pull 959 pounds here 🤣

[@mazboengineer]

Thank goodness WSM dropped CBS Sports commentary, those poor guys in the commentary booth seemed to know little about strongman as a sport. WSM commentary in recent years with Colin & Danny is brilliant, and long may it continue 👌🏼

[@RrSs-gl2ho]

It’s amazing to me how eddies voice has changed since losing weight

[@laurenceanyomi-smith443]

Try to make full videos like you claim because we don't see some of the athletes in action but the results.

Eddie hall pushing the weights made me die hahahahahaahahahahhahaahaaha

[@dadirtyone1461]

Love the Very Clear Synthol loaded Traps on Constantine lol

[@emperomassinencambio...9941]

In retrospective Thor always was his worst enemy, he was all over the place during this competition. The frame was horrible, kettlebell was supposed to be his best event, he won the pull, he placed ok at the deadlift... he wasn't consistant at all.

[@kucuser]

Thor had to rush kattlebells cause Brian was next, and if Thor would won that, then there is only one point between two of them going in to stones. Brain is one of best in history at throwing events also so that was a must have risk if he wanted to win title.

[@AdamA-qc6nc]

Says a lot about how strong he was then considering he won three of the events in this final.

[@damiensmith9240]

Frame has pretty much always been Thor's worst event.

[@killAgram070]

eddie's belly is epic

[@1xRacer]

Brian the 🐐

[@kookaburra574]

[@wadefuller9708]

[@Mike_Levinson]

Eddie was a static monster! I think Big Z beats him if they were to go head to head in their primes and healthy, though. I'm not taking anything away from Eddie, though. He is definitely one of the strongest men to ever live.

[@salman18346]

Žydrūnas Savickas would miss the 2016 World's Strongest Man competition because of a back injury. source: Wikipedia.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Thor normally wins every deadlift and object over bar event, weird to see him lose on these, he improved massively going forward from this.

[@John333Scout]

He and Shaw are by far in a league of their own in over the bar. Thor being up before Shaw really made him rush and he spent too much energy early on and trying to get to that last one as fast as possible. I think he could have won the event but being last to go was a huge advantage. Now deadlift, you are thinking of 2018-2020 Thor and yes then he was the best deadlifter and won all the time but Eddie Hall retired after 2017 which they had the coolest deadlift shootout. But at this time it was Eddie was the best deadlifter followed by Shaw. 2011-2014 Deadlift was one of Thor's biggest weakness, 2015-2016 he starts really improving in deadlift but never was challenging for the wins. 2017 is when he is one of the top guys in the world at deadlift behind Hall.

[@Vipinnnn17]

His deadlift increased significantly, he failed 950 here and was able to get 1014 next year, i wonder what he did for such a significant jump

[@aaronbarlow4376]

@@Vipinnnn17 If you're implying steroids, they ALL do buckets of steroids, so it's not just that. He may have upped the dose, but he also trained hard and specifically for deadlift while eating more than Lizzo.

[@Hesher93]

@@Vipinnnn17 as soon as he started to work with sebastian oreb as his coach, his deadlift exploded. Pretty sure he had a massive impact on the jump

[@ethangister2736]

Eddie shoulda just took Bryan out with the deadlifts

[@salman18346]

maybe he didn't want to waste his energy for half point while still there is few event left. still i think if he tried he would win against brain.

[@pewpew9193]

There wasn't any real advantage to spending all that energy to take half a point from Brian. After the first event, Eddie would need Brian & Thor to both have massive mistakes or be forced into a dropout to overcome them. He was making the smart play to get on the podium & it worked out for him.

[@joshketchum8416]

This audio is horrible. Very unbalanced

[@damiensmith9240]

Bit rough on Thor to win the plane pull and not get to go last on the kettlebell toss. That was ultimately the difference.

[@imanoldurango8213]

If he had taken his time maybe he would’ve won the kettlebell.

No, the distance was right. No one finishing is better than everyone finishing and making it a speed event. Supposed to be tough.
