Pudz was a step up from Ahola.

Do you have anything new to say?

MJG said:I am sure Tom will have a great career if he keeps at it but I don't think Eddie is the right person mark him against. His career trajectory is pretty unusual for a top level strongman. If Eddie does win WSM he will be the slowest to progress to that in terms of WSM appearances that I can think of. Even to take 5 years to make the podium is pretty slow. Strongman is a weird sport. Almost as if you're going to be great it happens immediately. Just look at the past winners from the last 20 years -

Shaw - Won his third WSM but podium on his second
Z - Won his 6th WSM and podium on his third
Pudz - Won his second WSM
Pfister - Won his fith WSM
Virstyuk - Won his second WSM and podium on his first
Karlsen - Won his fith WSM and podium on his thrid
Virtanen - Won his third WSM and podium on his second
Ahola - Won his first WSM
Samuelson - Won his fourth WSM and Podium on the third.

Nothing like a coherent argument to swing a debate, is there.
I think few observers a year ago, positing a string of right wing neo-nationalist anti-immigrant pseudo-racist victories across the west, would have gone on to predict it would stop in France, where the NF has been fairly strong for so long. Congratulations to them.
Obviously I'd rather it was someone in power I could actually celebrate, but just as Hillary would have been better than Trump, god knows Macron is better than Le Pen.

Well oiled...slick just what France needs a French Tony Blair.

Same old story.

And when Corbyn fails next month here in the UK.
The good old Labour the party for care and fairness will go right
back to a Tony Blair clone, a smart slick suit who could talk a glass eye to sleep and sell a untruth with complete contempt.

Before you say it, I am not right wing or left wing.
I just want fairness, equity and a realist to run my country.

I vote for none of the current crop and do not like to encourage them.

Congratulations Sir, you are officially stupid.

matthewvc said:despite all the dirty laundry thrown at Macron, Le Pen and her rag tag mob of nationalists were trounced. good to see the french have no stomach for the far-right. 5 years under the nazis was more enough to show them the perils.

Absolutely not. See Craig's post above.

I said:
What illness?

MJG said:
Stefan Solvi hasn't had repeated injuries. He had an illness which lasted several years through diagnosis and treatment and then had one bad injury on his return.
Nobody worth anything is giving up after one injury.

beza said:Don't know if it's already been said on here but Stefan solvi has said he's going as an equipment tester/reserve. Hopefully he gets a go, great strongman who's had a lot of bad luck recently, be great to see him back at his best
