Just did a marathon Sm catch up.

Bish did great in Sweden. Nice to see an athlete calmly and articulately explain the events in the in between interview bits. Nice comp too.

Iceland was a bit meh. Didn't really get the rules on the deadlift and log. Surely there must have been some kind of time limit between lifts?

Felix appears to be frozen in time. I think he will be competing in wsm 2025, just as strong as he is now and looking exactly the same.

Never been a massive thor fan but I enjoyed his 450 pull. Then he spoiled it by shouting unintelligibly into the mic after every single event at europes.

Even though I'd seen it on YouTube Eddies wr pull was as impressive as ever. I'd love to see him pushed to a true max as it looked so easy.

I didn't think the deadlift champs could really maintain itself for a dedicated programme but actually it was an ok watch.

I always whinge about this but I think there were soft calls in the max log at Brits.

I'm glad that someone else sees the oddity of the dead and log events in Iceland.

Really enjoying it.

Couple of things I noticed -

Felix has looked really strong throughout.

Looking forward to seeing Licis at the worlds in 2016.

Thor's 450 deadlift was an awesome lift. Also very impressed by Heinla.

Terry looked huge (just the girth of his legs!) and it's great to see him back.

If Terry comes back and is on form, and if Shahlaei and Hicks can return from their injuries are the top 5 Brits now better than the top 5 Americans?

Quite big ifs, but I'd say yes.

Oberst
Best

The shows have all been good so far. I actually quite liked the idea of the max events in Iceland, good to see something a bit different.

At euros I thought radz looked as strong as he's looked in years, hopefully he can keep that form going as I like radz.

I like Radzikowski but I found him a bit anti social wsm u90/u105. Spent most of the day on his phone.

Proper lol at Thor off his tits with rage shouting into the mic like a giant super strong mong who's lost his favourite panini shiny sticker!

Is it limited to 5 Brits full stop? Or could they qualify in different comps individually?

He is injured/rehabbing an injury from what I've seen on social media.
