what about the injury implications? athlete welfare is an area in strongman that has been overlooked for far too long.

Unfortunately injuries are part of the game and something you run the risk of every time you go for it; just like ALL other sports!!!

The athletes are incredibly well looked after I'd say; this is, as Ursus said, time for the best of the best to rise to the top and prove who is the strongest of all time (Big Z) Wink

terryhollands said:Being totally honest its not my idea of strongman but as a stand alone comp why not. I actually like the yoke idea but wish it was 8-10m. Reason its not my cup of tea is 4 events, 2 being overhead is excessive and I personally think itll be boring to watch but I guess everyone has different opinions on what is the best way to test someones strength. Im Im just wondering what will happen when lalas locks a deadlift out and the tyres are still on the floor


5 events this time

Exactly what I was thinking. Sat in the audience for half a day it would probably be boring as hell, but condensed into a 30-minute highlight reel then it could/would be spectacular.

I have a feeling that this year, 30 minutes might be pushing it: "And the winner, with 1 rep, is Zydrunas Savickas."

Everyone will have a different opinion on the yoke, i would prefer it to be a bit further.

Should be interesting... but surely Z can win this and be the only athlete that actually does any reps? 200 log for reps?!?

Very nice heavy events! I reckon heavy events like this are good alongside lighter events like WSM...

Looking forward to seeing Z and Shaw struggle with some ridiculous yokes.

Gonna be streamed online?

my favourite format is the dead/log/whatever for max weight. I think its much more entertaining than a reps competition. How about dumbell for max?? or 5 metre yoke for max?? you know it makes sense
