Els has had a lot of hardship in his life, being from a bad part of South Africa. He was so happy and grateful to be there after starting the sport at an advanced age. He could've been on the podium if he had started even 5 years earlier. He retired after this when he committed his life to God, gave up all worldly vices and now preaches God's word. He's earned my respect for giving up on a true talent and focusing on the most important aspect of life.
Hafþór bitching for two straight WSM comps about the deadlift reps counting is so petty. He def deserved his victory here but god almighty he's a child in a titan's body.
It's crazy 2024 just happened similar events and the numbers are so much crazier , axle wasn't an axle like this year Tom did 210 kg , Tom makes the stones look like child's play it's evolved
To be honest Brian's last deadlift rep wasn't locked out, his knees were bent, shoulders not back, leaning forward.. Magnus gave the down signal though, so that should be that.
I really don't like this version of the last event for the qualifiers. I mean, last year was not great putting in 4th place, but 2nd place not getting any benefit over 3rd place isn't right.

It is certain that with time the lifts are gonna improve so it's not really worth mentioning, Z is the greatest strength athlete and i don't think anyone can come close to his legacy, with time new competitors are gonna beat Thor's number too
If only Thor had this pressing power now!
Thor is such a crybaby

The biggest crybaby in the world (literally) finally whines his way to the win while his enormous entourage of yes men cheer...what a year!😂
Weird that Mateusz didn't get a penalty time for rolling it the last meter?
Hafþór bitching for two straight WSM comps about the deadlift reps counting is so petty. He def deserved his victory here but god almighty he's a child in a titan's body.
Wtf hahaha that was a good one 👍
I'm gonna say Thor will be unstoppable in 2025 also just have a feeling
It's crazy 2024 just happened similar events and the numbers are so much crazier , axle wasn't an axle like this year Tom did 210 kg , Tom makes the stones look like child's play it's evolved
Eddie's last FULL competition.
"I'm not sure why the guys are naked this year" "I kinda like it!"
2002-2018 best eras
32:01 She doesn't look happy.
Thor really tarnishing Jón Páll Sigmarsson's Icelandic legacy of good sportsmanship
How could the actions of one person tarnish other?
It was great to see Thor earn the title after so many years of being so close. Viking Power!
Thor seems like a cry baby to me- what would you say Eddie!
No he's not a better athlete because he is hitting bigger weights he's smart for using his momentum and flinging it over
Bon courage
Iron Biby is a walking heartattack...
19:10 Hafthor’s team is so unsportsmanlike.
32:00 LMAO the way Brian slid away from sight after Thor strict pressed 200kg haha.
😂
The way he's peeking from the tent too 😂
The way thor lost and whined and cried about it for almost a decade until all the better men than him aged or retired....😂

Eddie “the victim” Hall. That was the last of the no lockout deadlift Beast. Ty God
Eddie would have stroked doing that loading event and he would have missed the safe.
Yup what Hicks did on the squats should be against the rules with the bounce. I know he can Squat but that should not be allowed at all in Strongman.
Release the Kraken , i remember this quote back in 2002
18:20 had the power just lost balance
The ankle injury started to hurt
Weak cow eddie
Well Thor by this stage should have won multiple titles, it was just inexperience
Lol it’s rigging by Colin Bryce
@@joebot9309 I remember 1 yr Thor didn't wear a squat suit and a few other yrs it was his own inexperience that cost him the win
Terry going head to head with Mateuzs is impressive
" A Mantage' LMAO, if trans athletes get to compete in Strongwoman, a show recap will be a 'Trantage'
Eddie's last speech was really inspirational. <3
Thor was unbeatable this year.
In 2018 Thor was unbeatable.
🇨🇴🏋🏼♀️✨✨✨💪🎵COLOMBIA
No man in Europe could climb the MOUNTAIN that year.
5 consecutive titles is extremely impressive, especially with an injury.
Thor and his team are just awfully notorious for their poor sportsmanship.... Very sad.
The intro they came up with is sorta revealing.... 🤔

They were lucky 2018 Thor wasn't here.
Eddie would've had the 230 if he slowed it down a bit before pressing and used more leg drive, he rushed into a strict press and he was off balance.
The Strongest Man to have ever lived, Hafthor Julius Bjornsson! 👑
statically would be Eddie. Eddie beats thor at every static event.
