a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | i completely agree with you on that drew. i think it stems from garry taylor winning WSM and Dougie Edmunds not liking the fact a short person won it. so if you look at following years the platforms are all higher and the shorter guys struggled from then on. even if they made the platfrom one hight for all they could easily just increase the weight of the stones. as when you look at all the people who have done the stones in the WSM 2012 even some of the tall guys struggled which i think is stupid and takes away from the entertainment value. | ||

So with 'two' arms ,double the weight shouldnt be impossible ? | ||

So with 'two' arms ,double the weight shouldnt be impossible ? It's a traditional highlands games event, 56lb weight for height and must be doen single handed. I can quite easily believe Shaw could do a double weight with two hands. | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | I love misha to bits but I hate this he doesn't train events stuff. That used to be true, he lived with kazelniks for 3 months before wsm so he could train events. Not being s**tty but johannes was just better than him in the heats | ||
