Deadlift World Record - Predictions

I wouldn't mock Andy, at least he stepped up and tried. On the day, he wasn't up to his own high standards, but he still tried.
In terms of Brian Shaw, I think he would have pulled a very high number for sure. Perhaps on par with Ed and Benni, but he pulled out with an injury so we will have to wait and see.
Does anyone know if Saddler and Bryce have plans to repeat this deadlift comp next year? I guess that from the interest this element of the show had already generated, it will go ahead so a lot of the guys will be working on this... So we could see even more guest lifters invited to the deadlift comp.
You know for a fact that Big Z will be wanting this record, after losing the deadlift to Brian previously at worlds, he will want to come big stronger than ever and of course, Brian has a point to prove too.

I read today Z was semi-retired , he will train for WSM 15 only . Hope he makes Arnold but I doubt . Anyway I think he will deadlift next year and will break the record .

Later in the day they mentioned something about possibly holding it as a separate event next year, which would be a great idea, IMO. Not only so it doesn't impact on the strongman comp, but so the strongmen can prep 100% on deadlift.
I suppose it's whether they think enough people would turn up just for the deadlift comp.
For me the deadlift comp was the best and most exciting part of the day!

PaulSavage said:Honestly if you look at the 435kg lift, i would guess loz could have hitched up the 461 too if not for injury. Could be wrong but it certainly looked that way.

brownbear said:
the 435 was very good, but i dont think he could necessarily have done 461...
it would be a huge jump from his previous pb of 433? also i think having to do 446 too would have been fatiguing too

JCarter123 said:
Not sure this logic applies because Ed's previous PB was even lower?
I reckon Loz would've got it and I think Brian would've also. Everyone was on fire and the crowd surely spurred people beyond expectations. Really impressed with Martin's 435 also.

John said:
Yeah also worth mentioning the crowd they really got behind everyone,oh and also when magnus said ass for the telly lol

Wes said:
The crowd were loving it, all the athletes got great support.
There were some great moments throughout the whole day. Can't wait for next year, Sadler and Bryce have done the sport a great service delivering the Europes in this manner.

It's very entertaining , great show . I understand that organizers try to make some money but It's starting to look like wrestling , too much advertizing . Stuff like "if u want to see Brian Shaw or Beni Magnusson buy a ticket " . Who need this ? It's annoying . This is strongman .
