Even when you’re competing, the waiting between lifts can be tedious.

Agreed, I normally bring a book to read and lots of food to eat.

Looks like Hicks is injured and has pulled out. Not sure if they will replace him or run the group with one less.

Yes, groin. Replaced by Ervin Toots.

Hollands and Richardson out. Event 1 killing guys off…

I thought Terry came second in that event, did he pick up a injury ?

I see mark Felix came second in the loading race, not bad for an old man!!

Where are you guys getting results?

They guy is kinda a strong man nerd. Which is cool. He has a spread sheet with the results on.

Yeah rumour only. As he is still in the heats. Who knows. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
But old Felix - pretty mad. The old boy is super human. 56 years old. And still working as a plaster.

Looks like hollands did the second event and came third in that, so dont think he is out yet. Luke Richardson (UK) has withdrawn though.

Latest after the squats / deadlift.
Hollands out.
T stoltman top of ground. With Felixstowe 2nd.
Luke stoltman 3rd in his group after a good dead lift events. I think he’ll qualify.
Novikov… wont qualify?
Shaw looking good.
Janasha looking good for the finals.

Yes Hollands has announced he is out and looks like retiring from WSM…sad.

With 3 events to go do you think that Novikov can do enough to get into a stone off ?? I don’t want to write him off yet but it doesn’t look great for him so far.

Yeah. Big Terry is a like furniture at WSM. And his videos were quiet telling. This is the last one he planned on doing.
I think he lives near my mother in law. He posted a video shot from a flat in the next building over. Strange to think him and her are neighbours…

Novikov- no idea. Fingers is an unknown. And he could be pretty much all out of it after them. He needs to get good points AND luke to fail. But given Lukes got a finger to train on in the gym I can’t see that happening. Because Luke will be 1/2 in the medley and if the pressure is on I can see him doing well in the axe hold.
If luke can get to the stone off he’s a better stone lifter than anyone else in the group.

Man what a shame this is not being shown. Some drama this year.

I haven’t seen him do fingers but I expect it won’t be a good event for him. Going to be hard.
