 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | Id love to know what events some of these groups have. z's group especially as with right events burke or felix could throw a spanner in the works for radz | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | I would say loz and Jenkins group is squats...the others are deadlifts. Radz and Z are great at both squatting and deadlift so could be a potential squat group also, but would say it is a deadlift one. Agree about that group though, burke and Felix are going to be a massive pain for Radz with certain events. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 07.08.2013 @ 20:45 PM by Mikeneto Anyone else think the athletes should wear clothing that represents their nation. For your only watch strongman at xmas fan they probably find it hard to distinguish between athletes.I see it like athletics. You get the Diamond league and all the athletes in the running event are black with short hair and wearing the same nike kit. You kind of lose interest. Soon as world champs or Olympic comes along and they're wearing their nations kit you know who is who and get behind your athletes more plus recognise other nations athletes. I think they should do the same with WSM. Doesn't have to be a nations kit like at the olympics, but just something to distinguish that athlete as being that nation. The walk out with the flags doesn't really give the viewers enough opportunity to remember who is who. | ||

Would be a good idea,least have flag printed on the shirts or something | ||
