Damn that sucks.

Loz said on the livestream it was heatstroke which is better than another torn bicep or something at least

Scheduling strongman events in cities where it isn't rare to surpass 100* doesn't seem wise in a sport where the average competitor is 6'5 300+lbs.

Yeah totally but they keep doing it for some reason. I really support giving them a break and choosing somewhere mild for a change

Or some place cold.

Brian is in danger of not making it to the Finals, Hooper is dominating that group so far.

I hope Brian makes it, but he's holding on too long at this point (given his goal is to win, obviously). He's got so much else going that's incredibly successful.

They should do it near where I live, anywhere from freezing to low 30sC depending on the season and I'd get to watch

He was second just last year though. Don't write him off yet

Brian might be Gaming it , he tries to exert the least amount of effort in the qualifying heats

Brian might be Gaming it , he tries to exert the least amount of effort in the qualifying heats

If that's the case it might be a big mistake if he ends up in the stone off

I think he beats any of them in stones but that's a lot of extra work to put in

 

[rikwebb]

Evans been cleared to return

Good hopefully it was just heat exhaustion and not a heat stroke, if you get a heat stroke you get more vulnerable to the heat in the future.

His best shot is that the next two events should be heavier, that test hoppers baseline static strength.

Yeah i thought it might be his shoulder has he's had a problem with that coming into the competition, glad to see he's ok and able to compete again

 

[rikwebb]

You can fast forward the first 9mins

 

[A Very Serious Cat]

Hooper has a solid log press and claims yoke is his best event so car walk should be ok too. Brian can still win from here but it won't be easy

The issue is money the money they where offered they could not pass up the sport unfortunately is most popular in areas that have beaches and much fitness and bodybuilding. The Worlds stongest man even though it does not offer the most money it is still the premiere event. I believe they are on the 3rd year of a five year deal with the city of Sacramento?
