Pretty sure he's fully healed now looking at the picture! Might make him go slightly less lozercher though (which would probably be better as lot of balance involved with that setup)

Do you know if Ed has made big improvements in the Keg Toss? It isn't historically a good event for him is it? Hopefully you are right.
Just to echo most of the other comments... gutted for Hixxy but he is getting closer, and best of luck to the Brits in the final.


Not sure just think he has the most potential to finish well in the keg toss due to his insane back strength and his improved mobility. He's up against it with the likes of Z Shaw and Burke but Always got to stay positive for the Brits lol

To be fair you back your own. Of course Z is stronger overhead than Ed at the present time. But these guys feed off the support and I believe we have 3 very strong finalists. It will be interesting to see how things play out.

I hope he does well at it but I think in that event top 5 would be a very good result given his other strengths.

To be honest "historically" Ed wasn't great at very much that wasn't static but in recent times he has shown some solid improvement allround, no real reason why keg toss would be any different apart from if he thinks its as dull an event as we all think it is and doesn't train it!

It hurts me bad that they see keg toss fit to grace the WSM final...be f**king battery front hold next!

From what Terry says, final events sound a bit odd, which could give anyone of 4-5 guys a shot at taking the WSM crown

I think the real dark horse is Burke. He squatted very well in the heats, decent truck puller and could potentially win OH and loading

IMO he will win the medley because its not as heavy,

Hes quicker than z on the Dbells.

For me it isn't so much that he wont have improved, more that it will be very hard to beat Z, Shaw, Thor, Burke and Terry at that event... so top 5 in what on what looks to be a weaker event would be a great result as I am sure he will be right up there on the rest.

How is Loz on Keg Toss?

At europes he was awful because of his hamstring tear.

Historically hes not as good as terry though.

As Ben says, its one of his poorer events

With loading (which he was poor at in the heats) and stones, think he may struggle a little in the final

Hope not..
