Draken | Would you want 1 vs 1-events back to WSM and other Strongman competitions? | 20-06-2017 @ 20:26 | |
I'm daft. Member 6148, 93 posts | I'm (trying to) refering to arm-wrestling, sumo-wrestling et cetera. Where the two strongmen face eachother instead of facing an object. I remember, not so many years ago, there was a 1vs1-pull in some competition. I recall watching Koklyaev doing this on YT, but I can't find the video now. A few examples of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2qCBkXrb8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrHm5XeN-dQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X34KkUlCAI I think it would be awesome to have these kind of events back. To face Another man's strength directly instead of indirectly, is - according to me - a good way of measuring the two men's strength. Except for perhaps arm wrestling, because it's just too much about technique. What do you guys Think? | ||

Member 5141, 4211 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | I very much like the idea. But in practice almost all such events (pole push, sumo, tug o war) come down to bw, and thats not really a test of strength. | ||

the ferryman will always need his coin. Member 1085, 408 posts SQ 220, BP 175, DL 285680.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq | I think they should incorporate some of Steve Austins broken skull challenges into strongman :-) http://www.cmt.com/shows/steve-austins-broken-skull-challenge/... | ||
