 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | Mikeneto said:The events for final are only guessing so far. It is just fairly easy to guess 4 out of the 6. I reckon Jenkins or Shaw will win the yoke if it is an event, last two WSM has had yoke and they've been the best two, I don't see why that would change. Deadlift I think Shaw will win, Savickas walks the leverage line and I don't think the extra weight will help him on deads or stones. OH medley...I would say 5 guys could lift the 130...definitely Lalas, Jenkins, Shaw and Savickas.. Probably Radz and maybe Thor. That event is wide open, if not super heavy it will be the one that makes the least mistakes. Stones it will be between Thor and Shaw. I actually think an un-injured Shaw will win comfortably which i have said a lot now. He has no weaknesses. Having an OH medley with a dumbbell at the end makes it even better for him. Mine is a very educated guess though  | ||

More important for loz who the others are if for examply its Ngay, Oberst and one other its not a prob but if one of the other possible finalists is in there could be tough (although he'll make the final whateva the group IMO) | ||

Agreed, BUT, you're at a definite advantage if you get an "easy" group and can coast the last 2 events, leaving you fresh(er) for the final | ||
