Member 4760, 203 posts | terryhollands said:The top 3 guys are in a league of their own here. Mike will end up on his own in 4th. I need to win truck pull so I can get a gap between me and 6th. The tyre loading was not the best. Apart from the top 4 guys the rest of us were so close. I lost 5th purely on not sure whether the tyre would fall off or not so I kept my hands on it too long. The platform was not big enough so had to be stacked carefully. Good luck today Terry. | ||

 Member 2276, 514 posts SQ 240, BP 195, DL 260695.0 kgs @ 79kgs UnEq | So much of this years competition has been an anomaly (if thats the right word) The timing of the competition being moved to springtime, making everything shorter notice Odd events (all ok imo) tyres on sand, squat in place of deadlift, weird OH medley 3 of the big point scorers from the previous not returning 3 brits in the final for the first time ever (i think ?) And possibly the dawn of a new era ..... The THOR ERA !!! I think this years comp is going to really stand out when we look back, in the future. It will be talked about a lot, positively I hope | ||

I hit a pb today with a chest infection Member 3283, 1921 posts | Just shows though regardless of how many different variables have happened in this final with different events etc the top athletes are still the same | ||

Almost half the event is done empty handed. The platforms are too small - it's strongman not 'strongman' jenga. If the guys are wasting time trying to balance objects then you're testing dexterity not strength. | ||

Member 2775, 6927 posts | We will have to see what happens in the squat but i think it would be a great thing for the sport if Thor won. Also a great thing for Iceland, i imagine the celebration would be something to see. | ||

 vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | JayMcLaughlin said: The loading event looks poor.

Agree with the platforms being too small but disagree on the running element, some events should test speed and athleticism. | ||

Chief Moderator. Member 2712, 151 posts | Post Edited: 29.03.2014 @ 14:44 PM by Andy_f While we're waiting for today's events to kick off I thought I'd start an interested subject about strongmen who aren't there and if anyone knows what they are up to. I'm not talking about people who have retired but people are are still around the strongman scene or maybe taking a break.So where are: Kevin Nee LPJ Travis Arild Haugen Poundstone (I believe taking a break?) Katona Misha Marku, is he making a come back? Would be interesting with some of these in the mix. | ||

Member 4727, 29 posts SQ 200, BP 140, DL 300640.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Anyone not surprised that the top 4 all competed at the Arnolds? Arguebly it's more static but from a power perspective they were preparing much earlier then anyone else, as everyone else only got notified 10 weeks before WSM, so training for the rest has not been great, or as it normally world have been? The gaps just too big between 4/5 to not notice! Just a though? | ||

Pounds has retired Ortmayers banned from WSM I believe Kevin Nee is knackered Katona has visa issues Misha probably didn't have enough time to recover from his torn tricep and pec. | ||
