Thing thinks he can decide what goes here. He cant Member 354, 1452 posts	As above,think it was the World Super Series in Norway, the commentator seemed to get the weights wrong on pretty much every event. And after the yoke, can't remember the times off top of head, when it showed the times after the event it had Big Loz's time the wrong way around with Dave Oslands. And then scored accordingly. Pretty sure there was another event the same too. Anyone else notice?

No proof watching or anything. Not the end of the world or anything. Still wondering if that Loz/Osland scoring mix up impacted on the results though.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Ah. Someone else finds it irritating. For year we had to put up with Paul Dickenson doing WSM. I don't know how many times he said 'this guy is massive,' but it soon became repetitive. That, and the old classic, 'these guys pump some serious iron in the gym, but I bet they've never seen anything like this before.' Clueless. What was more annoying was that he was like this despite having an athletic background (hammer thrower). Colin Bryce is at least knowledgeable, although I found his habit of talking about the referee (when it had been him refereeing) a bit odd. And he has an oddly shaped head. The guy on Eurosport was bad. He referred to Loz as 'inexperienced.' In relation to most of the other athletes, this was just plain wrong. On a plus note, at least strongman is on TV. The demise of BSM has left something of a gap in publicity for the sport.
