End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | JC said: you've a real hard on for Shaw, haven't you buddy  I just think how good he is at his best is downplayed on here. Last year he was fairly badly injured and still did pretty good, he is now stronger than ever. Agree that Jenkins is an unknown going into this, well apart from his pressing which is obviously amazing. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | hixxy1985 said: badly injured? Well he ruptured his bicep. Then in an interview he said due to that he slept funny on his arm and f**ked up all his nerves and at WSM he couldn't even tie his own shoe laces he had that little function in one of his hands. You could see in the arm over arm event in his heat he basically did it with one arm. | ||

 tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Mikeneto said: 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. I'd be suprised to see that many people get the 130 at then end of a medley. And no one'll be able to do it as quickly as Lalas - so providing he does the other implements quickly (can't see why he wouldn't) I think he could win this one | ||

 Member 174, 1228 posts | I'm looking forward to this, apart from the travelling to get there. If everyone is fit (aside from the ever present niggles), it could be very, very good. | ||
