Hasn't been a top level strongman ever really, odd considering his hype and size.


He hasn't got big legs and just seems to be on the road constantly working on booths and training at hotel gyms.

But the events should actually be good for him in is heat.

He's a lovely bloke, but utter tosh at that level.

A number of people I've never heard of there. Frank Okalome? Charlie Gough?

My guess for the top 10:

Shaw
Hall
Shahlaei
Bjornsson
Hollands
Arsjo
Keiliszkowski
Felix
Caron
Szymanski

I think bish has a reasonable chance to make it out of his group, decent events for him and not one of the hardest groups on paper. Hopefully he makes it.

Hopefully we will see a couple of the new guys cause a couple of upsets too.

Anyone know who Charlie gough is? Not a name I recognise.

He won the recent giants deadlift/log championship.
400 dead, 180 log in believe.

I'd not heard of him until 2 weeks ago but impressive all the same. He was a reserve and then got a place although he's having to try get all his health checks completed first.

Seems insane to have a comp with two events and no real well known guys competing as a Qualifier for WSM. I dont know the guy at all and he may do well at worlds but it must be a bit of a kick in the balls for guys who have been working away for years trying to get to worlds to see an almost total unknown get an invite off the back of one comp that was only a push pull. Surely there are plenty of other brits who have done more to earn a spot at wsm such as yourself, Aaron page, Tom stoltman and Sean o'hagan to name but a few, not to mention all the guys from other countries.

Charlie Gough was one. Although it looks like he now has the go ahead, no idea who he has replaced though.

Some tough groups to call this year, Felix could feel a bit hard done to, he may well make it to the final again, but the fact some of the other brits have got easier groups must be starting to wear on him.
Bish could make it to his first final, which would be good to see.
Hollands should breeze into the final, by far the easiest group to call.

Must be annoying. On other hand ifs good to see newbies on TV. This lads likely a ten yrs of hard training overnight success, so good luck to him.

He just cant be good enough with those short arms. Great for pressing but horrible for deadlifts, stones and carrying.

dont agree with u, he has weak mentality and definitely not preparing on the same level as top athletes

Hall has very short arms and is the deadlift record holder, your argument is invalid

Just read his training book-weak minded nonsense. He is far too nice and happy go lucky to be an elite strongman. Show boating with his great pressing-living off it tbh-has seen him refuse to develop the rest of his game, which has actually made him become s**tter at his pressing. He does have an epic beard, is likable and huge, so he seems to get the media support that equals invites to these comps from the powers that be.
