Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4630 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Mikeneto said:Just before the heats started they were moving Novikov around like he was an extra and he goes and wins it. His name will have just exploded in the strength world. I had a look at his Instagram following just before he won and it was at 44.8k. Already at 46.3k after an hour. | ||

'THE NIGHTMARE' Member 5255, 290 posts SQ 220, BP 195, DL 240655.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | I just read that Tom dropped the Anvil in the Medley, could have been another win, certainly a couple of extra points. | ||

 Sugdens 'man' at WSM 2021 Member 1513, 2139 posts SQ 224.5, BP 181, DL 276.5682.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | 93hopkinsonr said: He was not. I'm not sure exactly when the 1984 contest was held but even if it was held 12/31/84, JPS would've still been a month younger than Novikov is today.Is he younger than Sigmarsson was? I know they were both 24 but wondering if anyone had worked out months/days... | ||

 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Well done to Novikov Excellent comeback from Tom. Bish did good too. Should be a good watch at Xmas. | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | what a comp! thought it might be rubbish with everything going on but this has been one of the more enjoyable spreadsheet watches for a few years. def looking forward to seeing it at xmas. supreme effort by tom. so good to see a brit on the podium and so close to the top spot too. also a great showing from bish, proving his performance in the heats was an anomaly. luke too making the final on his first attempt. and well done to super nova - had him picked for the top spot but didnt expect him to be that good. looking forward to seeing how he shapes up against kila and licis in the future. I said:prediction: 1. Novikov 2. Shaw 3. Caron 4. TStolt not bad. underestimated tom and jerry  and overestimated shaw. | ||

 Member 3757, 1746 posts SQ 202.5, BP 110, DL 255567.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | I’m really happy for Caron. I think we all overestimated Shaw and underestimated Jerry. Amazing that Tom pulled back to 2nd after his awful Hercules Hold. | ||

 I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2996 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | JCarter123 said:. I think we all overestimated Shaw. It is what I now call the Big Z effect! Much like Z, we ALWAYS expect great things from these athletes, because they have been so dominant for so long. People are still saying Z can challenge at worlds, and have been saying for years that he's just been unlucky with injuries... The same has happened with Brian. Sadly this is not the case anymore. Both these guys are veterans, who have been in the game a long time. Father time has caught up with them, and everyone is still in the romance mindset that they can still do it at the very top level because of their legendary status. Of course though, sometimes their is a fairytale story, much like Tiger Woods coming back and winning after so much has been and gone, but that is fairytale stuff that happens very rarely. Brian and Z are legends, and that will never change, but new legends are born and old legends fade away. Brian is sadly done, along with Z. The dominance of these two is long gone. | ||

Yes he looked a lot smaller than Ed when Ed was interviewing him. Its good to see a smaller guy do well, great job holy roller Novikov  I can't help wondering why WSM has so much prestige attached to it, given the amount of TV show bulls**t it involves(the story about re-doing the squat event a few pages back being one example). I guess its the title and the fact its running so long. It must be so irritating for the athletes. The Arnolds should defo be a more prestigious title. | ||

 See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 16.11.2020 @ 10:10 AM by Samthepigman I know Brian underperformed compared to what alot of us were expecting, but I think it's abit harsh to ship him off to retirement. He still qualified for the finals, just like everyone else. Someones gotta come first and someone's gotta come last. | ||

The issue is, if you are used to fighting for the title will Brian be content to show up when the best he can fight for is a spot in the finals? If he is that's grand. I'll happily watch him just like i enjoy watching Z have fun even though he can't win. | ||

 woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | I think Terry is a good example. There was time when he was a title contender but he knows those years are behind him. But he still comes with an aim to make it into the finals which given his performance this year looks to be a realistic if challenging goal. As a fan, I really like that attitude. But I can also understand wanting to go out at the top. | ||

But I can also understand wanting to go out at the top. I think had Terry had made the final he would have given a better showing than the Latvian that pipped him through. Just a case of the events which, except log, were overall very good for Terry. It's great to see him back as one of the world's best though. | ||
