 Member 5560, 769 posts | I said:This is my wild stab in the dark prediction of the line up. Please feel free to correct if you know anything - Hall Felix Shahlaei Bishop Hollands Shaw Pritchett Thigpen Best Oberst Caruso Ostlund Hanson Brant Schuen Saviskas Bjornnson Caron Shivlyakov Savatinov Zageris Licis Radzikowski Kieliszkowski Kobylarz Szymanski Belsak Wildouer Arsjo Lalas The depth of the field is now unbelievable. I reckon at least 25 of those will go in thinking they should be making the final. So this was my guess a while back - A few changes now we know Z won't be there. I think Brant has retired as well and I'm not sure where Lalas or Radzikowski are RE their injury problems. I think Van Stadden will go instead and Moonen or Nagy will replace Z. The other change is that the American Devaughen has qualified through Giants live. That means either Thigpen or Carusso will miss out I think. Anyone got any news? | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Hopefully benzel gets an invite after his good performance at giants live USA. I also hope luke stoltman gets to compete and reckon he has a good chance of getting a spot having been one of the travelling reserves last year. Has the winner of the amateur arnolds not generally been invited (possibly only as a reserve) in past years? Lysenko and scherr certainly were. | ||

Who did win amateur arnolds this year? | ||

Might be wrong but pretty sure thigpen was injured last I read | ||

Chief Moderator. Member 2712, 151 posts | There are so many good strongman now that many will miss out. 30 places just isn't enough any more. What about Mateusz Baron? , lalas's brother, Vidas Blekaitis, Sean o'Hagen must be about ready to. I'm sure there are loads I've forgot to, then there are all the guys that used to compete a few years ago and seem to have disappeared. What's happened to Poundstone, he's still relatively young compared to a lot of the guys. | ||

I think I recall hom saying he chose health and family as priority after some losses in Strongman lives.From Instagram account. | ||

He knew he wasn't going to beat the top guys anymore. | ||
