Ed Hall came out to give his t shirt to a young lad in the crowd and he was so happy you could tell he's gonna want to watch other comps, Ed gave the lads dad a hug aswell and he looked like he was about to cry! Looked more like a football fan finally meeting a player he'd been watching for 20 years. These are the people we need at comps not just lads off sugden but passionate fans that are never going to compete themselves. The accessibility of the athletes is a massive selling point which is fairly unique to strongman. The guys were staying hours after the comp to take pictures and talk to fans, people appreciate that and will want to come again. There were thousands of people chanting Eds name when he went for the deadlift, there has never been atmosphere like that for strength sports anywhere. Would you rather have that or would you rather 250 people go to watch because it had barely been advertised? There was a moment when Bryce said he was sitting in an Eastern European pub with Svend wondering if the sport was ever going to get anywhere and it looks like it is going somewhere a massive part of which is thanks to advertising on social media.


That was beautiful

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 .


As a Powerlifter, I'd rather go and watch Strongman. I wouldnt dream of inviting a mate or a family member along to a Powerlifting comp cos I've no doubt it would bore them rigid.
Some sports I believe you can over-hype and over-sell, often failing to live up to expectations. Strongman is not one of those sports and, more often than not, doesn't sell itself enough. They captured the imagination of the wider public on this occasion and it paid off, maybe other events will make similar efforts off the back of it.
