no dis-respect but the standard of english guys is much higher and to only have 3 would be a waste


Totally agree. I think at the moment its pretty fair to the standard of the guys from each country. If most of the best guys were in the other nations then by all means overload it with them. Its about getting the best guys competing from britain not a fair share from each country

We get to wsm we're all british anyway

Agreed. Be nice if it was a bigger comp though.

Ok I do agree with the best should be there, its just there doesn't seem to be a lot of opportunity's for top Scottish strongmen and some have huge potential if they were giving the chance.

And what about all the English guys that will never get the opportunities that some of the Welsh, Scottish and Irish lads get even though they beat them in major comps?

Sorry, I dont mean to be a dick or anything, I actually think stevie and luke both have great potential.

Maybe another solution is getting more big national level comps going where the scots, welsh and irish can compete with the english more often

Exactly what I was going to say even though it doesn't apply to me in the slightest but it seems a lot easier to get to major comps if you come from Scotland or Wales. There are so many good English strongmen, so many are missing out on the major comes despite the fact they have and would beat the welsh or Scottish counterparts.

lukes brother too, and you aren't being a dick. More comps at a National level is Great idea mate. Not a lot of people willing to organise that sort of comps though

From Finnish eyes it is strange that the Welsh/Scots/Irish is not able to challenge English boys in top strongman scene? a need to take into account that the English people represent the majority of the British. but at the same time you live on the same island, except irish...


What was even my point.....Roll-Eyes just whondering
