WSM line-up

Thor looked like he found it heavy! Felix was amazing though. Pity I didn’t get his run on video. https://instagram.com/p/BiLfOePFQXu/

Great work by Felix for the win on arm over arm. How is his dumbbell these days? Surely looking at 2nd or 3rd now behind Licis taking him to this stupid stone off against Caron?

Technique was an issue as his pulls were very short for a 6 foot 9 guy but also grip possibly an issue. It's always been a bit of a problem and if he's not training crush grip specifically, even correcting his farmer grip weakness would do nothing for him on an arm over arm.

Good to see Felix proving a lot of the doubters wrong.

Thanks mate, have to say Thor looks bigger than the truck lol

His DB has looked good in training, he wont be winning the event, but should be able to do enough to get through to the stone off against Caron, which will likely be a close one.

The trouble is he could well go into the stone off 3 or 4 pts ahead of Caron. A total that would be untouchable in standard conditions. If he were then to miss the final due to the absurd rule it would be a f**king travesty.

Apparently my wife was filming Felix so I’ve put that on my insta too

Its great how competitive all the groups are this year. Almost as if the sport stands up on it's own without any gimmicks to keep it interesting. All these groups would be going down to the wire anyway. Some of them, like group 1, would probably have gone into the stones with 4 guys fighting for second place.

What's going to happen if 3rd place is tied between 2 guys in one of the tight heats

Countback I assume which is s**t. Or have all 3 guys do stones and fastest goes through.

Thor used gloves on arm over arm to not cut up his hands to be fresh for the final.

I dont know which of those is stupider.

Just let everyone do the stones as normal, then the top 2 go through.
If anyone loses out due to the stone off rule they'll have good cause to be pissed.

We know by now that it's all to make good tv though. As much as last years 'stone off' was stupid, I did enjoy watching it.
Felix is on fire. Hope he makes it! Same with Bish and Hixxy.

True BUT the groups are more competitive than ever now. Don't need to artificially create Drama.

Today's events all done? Looks like Hixxy needs an awesome log press result. Which is expected but current 1st and 2nd are also top pressers.

when are the last events? (Our time)

It looks like our fears about Z are unfounded - It's situation normal, he just royaly f**ked up the kettlebell toss.

He's in 2nd, 1 point behind 1st with log lift for reps the next event - I can't see him not winning that (and he should definitely beat Oburst) which means he wins the group...

Hixy could do with winning the log mind
