WSM 2018 Finals

[@nercopolis99]

I feel for Johan Els. (18:45) It must feel isolating to be alone and not be able to share the experience and relate it to your own wife, and he lets it show how much it tears him up. I hope he gets to bring her someday.

[@kristofferbak6980]

I have been waiting so long for this. To see how they edited this thing together is so sad. They left out the entire overhead contest, and setled for some kind of stupid dramatic footage. The producers of this show really don't understand who the audience consist of. So sad...

[@stefang6586]

Yeah thats stupid, was so hyped for the Overhead

[@dtosmanm4743]

They could edit out the truck pull instead as it is really not an interesting event to watch.

[@danielglatz1643]

So glad someone said this. I watched the whole overhead press scene thinking i was watching a flashback to last year. And then they start reading the results. Like wtf

[@MrTubbyTony]

Why would they edit the overhead press event like that?

[@LarryL3g3nd]

29:41 Why I love strongman so much even though they all compete against each other they all try to help and motivate the others

[@ronpaulssecretary]

I love that its been literally the same frame for more than 10 years and it took until this year for them to change the handles that kept fucking up athletes hands.

[@slaughter7100]

18:59 hop the best for this man RESPECT

[@sagebias2251]

The editing was bad this year. I sensed a thor bias from the commentators. He is my favorite, but it didn't feel as good previous years.

[@wildwilie]

Sage Bias I kinda agree, I also disliked the way they did the max overhead press. I didnt realize they were showing the actual event until it said round 4 haha!

[@ryanschultz4119]

Idk if I've ever been happier for a WSM Champion, as I was for Hafthor?! So many close calls, mentally overcoming the controversy in the 2017 final. He truly deserved to be Champion.💯 Glad it finally happened for him. Hopefully he can get back to 100% health for the 2020 WSM competition. Where he can battle his buddy, & current Champ, Martins Licis!👍👊

tbh if u put in there all the WSM ever in best shape i think hafthor would have won this eitherway i know ppl gona hate me but i rly beleive in that

[@quelandil5738]

Interesting idea. I could see pudzianowski giving thor a run for his money. Lots of speed events where he was really strong and he was good at this type of deadlift. Not sure about his overhead abilities though. Besides that, for prime Brian or Eddie there was too much speed involved. Big Z would have won overhead but probably lost closely in the other events. From newer era Tom would be a contender, since he is sort of a thor 2.0

[@dtosmanm4743]

Fantastic editing this year. A little masterpiece.

[@TheFrankHuda]

Why the hell do they keep putting in the 825lb frame carry as the first event like every fucking year? It's not necessarily the most exciting event, half the athletes get their hands ripped raw with 5 events remaining, why don't they do like ANYTHING else instead? It really seems like the past two or three years they've had this event first.

[@sultanazeem1630]

I think brian realized that his career is in final stages because he is losing speed not strength thats so sad for brian i think he is still so strong but not very fast as he was in his last victories but he is a complete package respect for him

[@joebot9309]

Don’t worry Colin will start helping him

[@Last_brain_cell555]

I immediately switched over to the British version after the overhead press edit, what the f was that

[@NoDoubtsss]

If Kieliszkowski improves his static strength, he will defeat Shawn and Bjornsson next year

But sadly he likely won't since he has an injury.

[@elvecinodeltio5960]

[@vikingpower8656]

Maybe in 5 years.. not in a year. That deadlift is way too weak by todays standards. 2018 events were ideal for him, next year they propably won't be.

The frame walk or whatever (first event) is fucking horrible. You always hear that it's about grip and not strength but who the fuck cares about grip when it literally skins everyone's hands.
