 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | MJG said: I still think he will lose points on deadlift. Looks like Looks like Caron, Shaw, Savatinov, Savickas, Felix and Hall will all make the final and all could very well beat Thor on deadlift reps. That puts him down in 7th on an event Shaw could very well win. Unless Shaw makes a mistake I just don't see where he is going to make those points up. It is not outwith the realms of possibility that caron and felix could beat Shaw and Z on a deadlift for reps. I think this is thors only real chance of winning barring an injury from Shaw or Z as he stands to lose out big time on the deadlift and lose a few points on log as well if savatinov and Hall both make it through. I would back Shaw for the win now, it will be a fair battle whoever comes out in top though. | ||

Although that extra point doesn't really change things. | ||

 his poor male ego must be crushed Member 883, 6251 posts SQ 290, BP 180, DL 420890.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | luki said:Whats with all the Shaw hating. Its WSM, not powerlifting. Most of the guys hitch the deadlift too and I don't see half as much powerlifting angst directed towards them. Can someone post the poster of the German guy saying if you pull Sumo its not a deadlift please?  Shaw is awesome. Hope he wins. | ||

Member 2252, 256 posts SQ 210, BP 140, DL 250600.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Shame that there are so many injuries, and I´m sure Hixxy would have got through without them. Gutted after making so much progress so quickly. Hoping Ed gets through and podiums.... want Z to win, but will be difficult given the events and who is likely to not be there. | ||

Member 5744, 1 posts | A few people have mentioned location as a problem and that they should bring it to Europe which I agree with. What people may not realise is IMG charge thousands to host it yes you pay them plus you supply hotels, flights etc which adds up to over €300K plus and you don't own the tv rights or sponsorship they do which makes them the big money so unless someone in Europe is willing to pay that it will never happen. All the countries that do host it do so for the tourism if you think about it its actually very good tourism promo. Going forward surely they have to change it as now with social media we all know the results and even see whats happening its loosing its appeal, it would be great to see it in a decent location. I have seen the IMG proposal for WSM and its crazy | ||

One thing I have learned after watching the competitions for years........, never count out Z. | ||

Doesn't like tall people very much.

Live at Christmas I say ! Like Odin says, there is not a chance of keeping anything under wraps these days It only got moved to April last year, caught a lot of guys out as no one was expecting it. The year before it was the very end of August into the beginning of September. I think that was fairly standard for the years prior. Not a clue why it is April though, it is ridiculous considering it isn't aired for 9 months, at the Europes last summer everyone was wishing the guys good luck at WSM and they were politely saying that it had happened but they couldn't discuss the results. | ||
