World's Strongest Nation 2023: UK vs USA

[@ISOSAILING]

that was epic!!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Thank you 🙏 . We put it out in full as we hoped fans might enjoy seeing it in full.

[@peaceloveforever88]

oh yes

[@Natalie_villalona]

Yes the hell it was!!

[@AlanLennox-ei8uj]

Evan playing the pantomime villain perfectly whilst still showing respect and encouraging Mark in the wrecking ball.

[@bigguy7353]

Pro wrestlers tend to be good at that. Showmen.

[@Tiger-wi5mu]

Im 26 and I will probably be long gone and my grandchildren will still watch mark felix perform in strongman

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

lol - im guessing it might be your grand children's grand children actually haha. Felix is a wonder of the world

[@hannahhodgson8368]

Thanks so much Giants Live for putting this show up for us to watch! It was amazing and great to see both strongmen and strongwomen taking part. Maybe a bigger show with more nations is needed in the future :)

[@MrValonievs]

can't get over how big the lads are, I still remember watching Shahlaei towering over everyone else 10 years ago, now he's the "normal sized" dude interviewing. Shahlaei was and is a great treasure for Strongman world

[@trzaskubejbe]

Shahlei is only 188cm. Not that tall for a strongman, even 10 years ago. Actually in 2013 both Thor and Brian Shaw competed, and both were taller than all of the guys here.

[@SiStockbridge]

Why does this not have more views!?!? Love the energy and showmanship. Evan playing the heel was hilarious 😂 More Nations would bring it to the next level as well, that'd be cool

[@neumichel]

because it has women (you could say "because it has men" i suppose...but not so many fans of women's strongman out there). some people only enjoy competition among relative athletic equals and not group play.

[@gear8649]

I think Mark Felix should be studied for a cure to immortality.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Couldnt agree more. The man still doesn't suffer aches and pains like the rest of us and he is closer to 60 than 50. its insane!

[@ericjohnson9477]

A cure to immortality would infer negative connotations. If immortality did exist why would you want a cure for it?

[@dustinm800]

A cure for mortality?

[@coffeetalk924]

Mortality

[@bigguy7353]

​@ericjohnson9477 It infers nothing. It's quite clear. The idea is to reverse living indefinitely. That is living a finite mortal experience. The goal has been achieved. (I'm a ridiculous wise acre, please apply that knowledge to this comment.) 🤣🤣🤣

[@thedolenorway]

I had to save this to a time when I could appreciate it in full, and oh boy what a treat it was! Thank you Giants Live for letting this treasure out!

[@paulbudford]

Great show. It's a really nice format. Especially great to see how amazing the woman's performances are.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it! The show is one of the way we look forward to showcasing how impressive the women's strength really is - and impressive it is!!!

[@knowwe]

The size of those chicks is crazy!!

[@Psalm116_]

This is really cool they put this together, but honestly, my favorite part is seeing how fast these guys can actually run

[@curb1sh7689]

Mark Felix at 57 years of age. Unbelievable. What a guy.

[@knowwe]

Fantastic! My only suggestion would be that perhaps there should be a point for the fastest/best woman in each round and a point for the fastest/best man in each round rather than just one point for the best/fast person. Makes everything count even more that way.

[@onslaughtofterrorJW]

I love seeing full comps posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

thanks for letting us know. Its noted.

[@donutsndeadlifts]

Santa came early this year! Im loving this! Merry Christmas and GO USA!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

So glad!

[@TheEvilWithinKevin]

Evan is the best thing in strongman right now.

[@everythingstrength1485]

Martins and Evan keeping Kayfabe at Giants live 😂

[@daviddalton5831]

lmao!

[@belesdan1886]

My main reason to like strongman sports is because the athletes are all so nice to each other. Putting up a show, but friends in the end.

[@GABO2844]

Me encanta esto! Deberian hacer mas eventos así! Que mal que el equipo de UK perdiera porque soy fan de eddie, pero no importa porque fue genial el evento. Saludos desde Chile.

[@ezramorency7422]

What a great show! Thanks for the great edit and show!

[@romanstingler435]

Tug of war was sooo cool to see, just super traditional competition challange.

[@anidiotsguide757]

You can tell Evan used to be a wrestler. He went into this wanting playing pure 80's heel!

[@biggino4476]

I like Evan but the move on Gav was really immature from his side. Cmon Evan...you're better than that.

[@Tiff_lifts_alot]

Right... he still got a lot of growing up to do.

[@PullsPressesCarries]

Is just for entertainment brother not that deep

[@Flyxolydian91]

It's called theatrics my guy, they both did their bits perfectly.

[@adamrojas9235]

this is so damn cool! Thank you for posting the whole thing!

[@Barbassten]

It would be greatly beneficial if the weights of the lifted equipment were added to the screen during post-production. Thank you.

[@mlord692]

Really really entertaining!!!! It's awesome seeing the strongman sport get bigger and better each year.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

it is great you have taken the time to write that. We really do appreciate it - a lot. Im glad there are so many like minded people out there and it will only give us fuel to make more shows and videos. Thanks back to you for watching and supporting.

[@justinroberts742]

USA USA USA!!!!!! UK is Awesome as well!!

[@AClarky]

Well done to everyone involved 👏 great performances from all, uk could have stepped up a bit but we slow down a bit at this time of year for some reason, uk for the win next year hopefully

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Thanks for message and glad you enjoyed it.

[@julianhernandez6457]

Hell yeah, great show. I cant wait for next year. Have you guys ever thought about 4 or even 8 teams over a few days? That would be insane. Giants live #1 And lets fa-king go t rex, he smashed it.🇺🇲🇬🇧

[@peaceloveforever88]

i can't belive how TOM has taken so quick a 150KG SAND BAG ohhhhhhhh, very strong

[@Ripplin]

Thank you, but should I wait until after the World Tour Final to watch, or does it matter?

[@timlee5687]

it doesn't matter. this is just a fun competition. the world tour final just means its the last giants live of the season.

[@Ripplin]

@@timlee5687 Yeah, I was just wondering about spoilers...though I already know who won everything anyway, locked in the back of my mind somewhere. :p

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

This won’t spoil anything (I don’t think) - I’m assuming you are UK viewer and enjoying the ch5 shows.

[@roohaa8382]

Still have not seen 2022 or 2023 WSM so what are we doing here?

[@dudeman8338]

it was on cable

[@holyhex6520]

@@dudeman8338 it isn't the 90s or early 2000s though. People have been moving away from cable for a decade now. WSM really needs to get with the times, or rather the owners of it need to figure out the ad revenue for streaming to upgrade into the 2020s with the rest of us.

[@grainnemurphy6870]

Everyone out on a great show - but I would be fascinated to see a women only team comp!! US vs UK vs probably Canada, and then an “others” team would be great😊

[@derwinmt89]

Asia also

[@aVikingWarSaga]

Can wee maybe bring iceland next year? Great show! well done everyone behind!

[@snipescore3302]

I think Canada has higher lvl talent but would love to see 4 countries go up against each other 🎉

[@logi508]

I don't think Iceland has many top strongwomen and with Eythor taking a break from strongman it's only just Hafthor and a few other amateur guys

[@marek6135]

Poland,Ukraine,Russia,Lithuania, Georgia,Iceland

[@akramebrahim1446]

Bilton took part in to many events . He just wasn't up to it. Maybe hall should have competed more maybe deadlift ?

[@janagmcv]

Grandes enfrentamientos, admito que muchos de los concursantes de UK ya están para ser capitanes (no para competir), USA vino muy fuerte a esta competencia 👏🏻👏🏻 Mi favorito Eddie me hubiera gustado verlo jugar un poco más pero entiendo que ya no es su momento, (debieron invitar a mas concursantes 👍🏻) La vigencia de Mark Felix, que disciplina para mantenerse en competencia 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Lucy una grata sorpresa ( recién la conozco) de las mejores competidoras 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@themissingone32]

Mark Felix is amazing

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Gracias por mirar y comentar. Agradecemos su apoyo.

[@ValentinG23]

That Gavin guy dragged down team UK in all events 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Justrenan_]

Finally someone is talking about facts! You're so right, I don't know why he is there

[@Bison-id5mo]

What a competition i cant wait for next year.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Keeith7]

Both teams have some transformers lol this was a good one 😂

[@leandraogomes7918]

Mark felix ..grip monster .. arm wrestling 👊🏾💪🏽

[@biff1667]

Haha enjoyed this! Well done USA great sports, thats why you're our allies. Unlucky UK, you did well.

[@strengthmuscle5529]

Great show put on by both teams, hell yeah.... USA, USA, USA (LOL)

[@mohsinshahbaz5846]

Epic Battle ! All guys giving their all 💪 , my favorite moment was 55:44 😎😎😎

[@r.nanderson2990]

Great show! Great people! All the Athletes, the Giants live crew and the commentators. Well done Giants Live. 👍 And merry Christmas. 🎅

[@peaceloveforever88]

GABI DIXSON is the new hope for Womens so cool

[@maxfryer5827]

So does Eddie contribute in anyway apart from head cheerleader?

[@elliottengstrand5988]

Yeah it is quite odd that Eddie didn't do anything. Tom should have been team captain and they could have included anyone else on the GB team. You'd think they would implement a rule that says (barring injury) every athlete MUST compete in at least two events or something. Force the teams to be careful who they use for each event. Rather than just having Evan carry team USA.

[@chriscoulthard4947]

He competed last year, he brought the team back this year. He is retired though.

[@Natalie_villalona]

I freakin loved this... Great idea!! Cant wait for the next one!! Congrats USA!

[@noncog1]

As an american, we really dont need singletons character. This is wsm, not wwe, all of these people are absolutely awesome at their sport, and id love to see nothing but respect amongst them

[@eliamnatterschnapf4711]

I love him

[@holyhex6520]

I agree, I don't think the acting is needed in strongman. It doesn't add anything to it, at least for me it doesn't.

[@elliottengstrand5988]

Agreed. The camaraderie and mutual respect is part of what drew me to strongman in the first place when I've never cared much for professional sports otherwise. I hate the team mentality and blind devotion to one group. Strongman is amazing because I want everyone to win. But as an American I find Evan a bit embarrassing. At least he's actually quite good, so it's not empty trash talking, but I'd respect him more and root for him if he cut that out.

[@chriscoulthard4947]

This is a team event. It's different etiquette. WSM have upmost respect for eachother.

[@elliottengstrand5988]

@@chriscoulthard4947 It's not just this event or this comp. Everything I've seen of Evan in and out of various comps and on social media suggests he's an arrogant asshole. He's acting like he has somehow already cemented himself as one of the GOATs of the sport.

[@tylerwilson8243]

Wow what a race!

[@JingyJingJing]

Evans character is wicked

[@romanstingler435]

I think these full comps help to spread the love for this sport.

[@nathangilman6665]

This was absolutely awesome. Please keep doing these

[@Shooter_Mcgavin93]

Underdown not having test voice is refreshing lol

[@XxExoNine]

Strongman is so much more fun to watch with DIRECT competitions like this.

[@MultiDriven]

Great video!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Thank you

[@byzantinebill]

Lmao, I love Evan 😂

[@2kgrind597]

How he’s an arrogant tosser

[@davidbreuer5961]

Beating a time with Tom Stoltman and Gavin Bilton in Tug o war looks pretty much impossible

[@Bound4Earth]

I get booing at Singleton during the interview because he was being an arrogant prick even though he was playing a role, but their actions prior to the interview, the audience are a bunch of sore losers. They didn't even cheer when Faires absolutely destroyed that event, just a few seconds shy of 2 minutes and nothing from that audience. Just poor sportsmanship, sad to see them devolve and cry. These events are supposed to be fun, not tantrum fests for the loser audience. Shame. Great show despite the babies in the audience.

[@wastelander89]

Great video as always

[@mostdope3178]

56:34 that a man giving 110% right there...

[@SoybooCow]

Has anyone else noticed, you never see Lucy Underdown and Graham Hicks in the same room at the same time???😁😁😁

[@chriscoulthard4947]

These athletes train together but compete as individuals. Great to see them compete together occasionally

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

glad you enjoyed it

[@peaceloveforever88]

OMG, look at 12:38 this girl lifted a 100KG SAND BAG INSANE performence, BIG UP and RESPECT

[@TheHappyhorus]

This was a great watch, I really enjoyed this and hope there is more promotion next time I’d watch this live. Congrats USA you done it this time. 1-1 see you next year 🎉 Mark Felix is a monster strongman who’s just always been there, he should have made WSM.

[@benotyourboss]

How heavy are the axe deadlifts?

[@YannMetalhead]

Great show!

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

thanks

[@Priimerra]

thanks for this great show

[@b_rabbit435]

Why won't you say what the barbells in the deadlift weighs or the dumbbells in the press weighs? it kind of diminishes the guys performance by showing only the amount of reps when they are performing with a 60% heavier weight.

[@andrewchisholm3665]

Who said stronmen couldn't do pantomime 😂😂

[@andrewshaver5800]

Martins looks so much like Hacksaw Jim Duggan at the end it's crazy. Only missing a 2x4. Hoooooo!!!

[@ManuRomer0]

Espectacular 🔥🔥🔥

[@alexanderaflalo4128]

Singleton is such a good heel, haha... damn he's good.

[@biszkoptbiszkiewicz1054]

Marc "inhuman" Felix

[@notademonrat]

that was a fun way to start Christmas thank you Giants live very fun event.

[@RickBomhof]

this is awesome. hope we get a rematch

[@JosephMorton-q9o]

Eddie man you deffo could of brought that win home again man 2024 will be the UKs the me to shine again

[@mikewells6831]

Im all for strongman and woman earning more money .great event. Thanks to all . Just didnt understand the scoring. Like 4 points for 1 event

[@CR41G7P]

Its not xmas without strongman events :)

[@blaCCiez]

that brother on the UK team sold out. he could easily had taken that lead.. took his bloody time./

[@chazs6057]

Why wasn't this shown on channel 5??

[@Shooter_Mcgavin93]

Gabi is a sweetheart!

[@romanstingler435]

Damn, I think this is the reason to visit the UK for me

damn big dawg! Go Team Human Will, Spirit!

[@aiims891]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DYVSnogueira]

Thank you.

[@stuartmacdonald5361]

Team USA did have a slight advantage. They had an extra member in their team, due to the fact Eddie Hall never helped in a single event. Why was Hall even their?

[@ZombieModz1]

Cmon uk !!

[@siarheikaravai]

Why Eddie did not compete? Tug of war does not count

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

He is quite long retired and the spectre of injury looms large in such a hard sport.

[@koushiksunar3477]

💪💪💪💪

[@simongreenwood445]

Eddie hall really enjoyed singleton, a⭐⭐for effort

[@darylkanofski9327]

Overall it was size that won out in the end

[@danieltan2270]

Hi, after the ladies completed their wrecking ball hold, there seems to be a jump in the accumulated time for USA team from 52 secs to 66 secs before the first man starts. Wonder why the addition of 14 secs?

[@GaryTimmins69Morgan]

I hope Mark Felix never stops

[@simongreenwood445]

Should have had an English and American as commentators, im English and for the Americans it's already harder not being on home soil nvm the comments during the performance plus the lack of croud support, otherwise really good show, always nice to see friendly rivalrys, maybe should involve the french next time 🤣 and everyone else we ever went to war with

[@mattday9201]

USA! USA! USA!

[@peaceloveforever88]

hello MARK FELIX
