Big Z is my hero and i am gutted he did not make it 3 in a row, but as i said yesterday fair play to shaw, if you look at the events they where stacked in Z fave, no keg toss, medleys or arm over arm, so shaw took him at his own game. shaw was unlucky a couple of times last year and to lose title on countback is tough, so this year the gods sided with him, as make no mistake had jenks and katona been fit i think they would have got 5 or more reps in log giving big Z that cusion going into the stones really happy for terry and Loz, what a great pair of top level athletes that many strongmen in britain can learn from and aspire to be like i can remember the days when the Brits use to go to worlds and make up the numbers, this year going into the last day of the heats 4 out of 5 where sitting in qualification positions, we got 2 in the final and one on the podium, we just need a champion now, but the future is bright Martin1956 likes this. | ||

Member 1227, 152 posts | I honestly think Loz could win this within the next 2-3 years if he keeps on improving at the rate he has been. He'll be on the podium next year, you saw it here first lol | ||

he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | JC said: No doubt he's improving immensley, but itas going to be hugely difficult to get close to the genetically gifted freaks Jenkins & Shaw There will be others will come out of the woodwork too. Jenkins only really came on the scene recently, and I believe Thor can be a threat in future. He is 21, he won the truck pull and came 2nd on stones. | ||

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | I could end up like the Ufc, guys that don't quite make the grade in the NFL now take up MMA cause they generally have the physical attributes to do well Strongman will get the NBA guys that don't make the grade | ||

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | JC said: How tall is Z? 6ft 3" How many of us think we'll ever see a guy (Z excluded) under 6ft5" win WSM again? I suppose that could depend on if they change events, which they might. This years has gone heavier and more static, maybe we'll see a change to events which don't always favour the tallest guys? | ||

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | not just tall, but heavy in years gone bye you had to trade off size against the tough medleys you would have to do in this years final, there was no reason not to be as heavy as possible | ||

Big Z - 6ft 3 Shaw - 6ft 8 Bjornsson - 6ft 9 Jenkins 6ft 6 Lox 6ft 2 Hollands 6ft 6 £Note - 6ft 1 Jack Mack 6ft 3????? he was tall when i met him Ervin Kantona 6ft 1 Stefan Solvi Peterssun 6ft 5 i would like to think that Loz would have a chance of winning some day as well as Terry but with shaw, Bjornsson Jenkins Hollands in the game its a Big Boys game now. | ||
