lol at the fanboys because he's English/British. He has no chance of winning the WSM at 180kgs BW, that's just a fact.

i want Hall to win and retire
but i dont think he will win
Shaw looks massive, he may win the deadlift too
Matheusz will be on podium i think
whose place he will take ?
Hall or Thor's maybe

I sort of agree with this. He might have one very bad event, but I don't see anyone bar Shaw and usually Thor (not sure on his shape this year) being consistent enough to beat him. Everyone has a very poor event bar the normal top 3. With Z out and Thor in questionable shape I think he'll fight for 2nd.

You need to look up the definition of fact!
I think you'll find you meant opinion

Hall seems to be getting more into the preparation than ever before. He's got a grip coach, I don't believe if his grip was that bad he'd have left it until the last minute to get his services.
Kb he's undoubtedly gonna drop points on but others will drop points on other events. It wouldn't be the first time someone has a shocking event and still win


It's not his grip that I see hurting him on the frame carry, it's a lack of speed going by the video he put up. The likes of loz, arsjo, shaw and kieliszkowski are all likely to be considerably faster than him. That's a fair few points to drop plus another chunk of points from kb throw and i just can't see Shaw losing big points on anything.

I get people's comments about wanting to support British guys. However there is a big difference between supporting British athletes and blind optimism/ignoring hall's apparent shortcomings in two of the six events.

They're all fair points and until it all happens no one knows for sure.
I'm just hoping for a miracle with kb throw, and with the frame I know there's people faster but I don't think he's quite as bad as people think. Hollands, Loz, arsjo and the polish guy could all beat shaw too on the frame, there might not be too many between them.

I just wish we could watch it instead of having to wait

I predict Shaw to win and Ed second.

I also think Shaw will win deadlift with 470 plus. If Ed pulls anymore than that, he will probably withdraw.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bish qualifies. He is an animal.

Superb athlete!

Do we even know the weights of the kettle bells he was throwing? Could be heavier than in comp?
