 3rd place Europes strongest man 2016 U90kg Member 1239, 13275 posts SQ 280, BP 155, DL 310745.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | 93hopkinsonr said:I didn’t realise it had politics involved. I thought top was was an automatic invite to Worlds. Has anyone ever finished top 5 and not received an invite? It’s top 5 but then Bryce invites who he wants. | ||

Has anyone ever finished top 5 and not received an invite? Yeah. Its like any other giants live comp, top 3 are guaranteed an invite. The rest is just convention. Hicks got 4th or 5th last year and wasnt at worlds. | ||

Top 3 get an automatic invite. Top 5 do usually get an invite but usually the "right" faces finish in the top 5! Naturally the organisers wan't the "big" names at WSM. | ||

Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4637 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | A few doubted him but it looks like he’s won with a fairly big gap again. I don’t know why people continue to doubt him | ||

Member 5141, 4211 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 27.01.2018 @ 22:11 PM by KevC86 Good result for Smith but i think It will mean at best a reserve spot at WSM as i cant see Loz not being there. That said a lot could change before WSM comes around. Glad to see a solid performance from Felix so soon after his return to training. He may well surprise a few people at Europes and claim an invite for himself, though max log will hurt him. Edit: credit where its due, I'd wrote Hollands off a long while back. To get on the podium in such a strong field suggests there is still life in the old dog. Every credit to the man and his new lean frame. | ||

Member 5560, 769 posts | Great all round performance by Bish. Good to see him back to his best. We need to see guys like Bish and Paul coming through to replace the old timers like Loz, Terry and Felix. All great guys with superb careers but we can't rely on them for ever. | ||
