I’d say past it but a good run with injuries and the right events and you never know, never rule out a champion

You are probably right.
What about Janashia ? Didn’t he have a pretty good go last year?
did Janashia tear his tricep in the press medley?
I know he’s not super popular, but Kevin Faires is one of my favorite pros. Not sure if he’ll make the finals, but I like watching him because he doesn’t know anything other than giving 100%

Reigning champ is out for this year:
Wasn’t sure he would be fit and not sure he was in with a chance this year. Shame though as he is always a good showman.
I believe I watched a video where he said somebody hit him on his bicycle. How the hell could you not see that big bastard?

I’m gonna guess the usual -texting on the phone.
They saw “big bastard” afterwards, because they drove away w/o stopping to ask if he was ok or needed help. People -so predictable…

Mateusz K just had to withdraw due to injury (triceps); a previous (repaired) injury that re-occurred attempting a 180kg log in training according to Big Loz.
Brian Shaw fanboys will assume he is now the favorite. Finally, a realistic chance for him to win another major strongman competition.
I’m gonna say Tom Stoltman.

Shaw just pulled 1091 from 18 inches in training. He may not be what he once was, but I still like his chances in this field.

Final Stoltman brothers training. Tom acknowledging Mateusz would’ve been clear favorite to win. Tom’s log press rep strength almost as good as brother Luke’s, who is one of the strongest log pressers in the world. WSM 2020 promises to be entertaining and closely fought, hope it delivers.
I’m sure I’ve missed it but what are the events for this year?
Konstantine Janashia is out with covid.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the hurricane blows away the venue and it’s just completely canceled.

Martin Forsmark (Sweden) out as well, positive covid test before flying out.
Out of the current list of competitors JF Caron was the top placing last year, with 4th.
Yep with stoltman and Shaw only 1 point behind that. I still think Shaw or stoltman this year
This is getting to be worse than Morocco. Where is the stupid thing this year?
Florida I think
