Really like how objective you are about each event and where you think you'll finish. I'm excited for this year's competition as I really think there's 6, maybe 7 guys who could genuinely win it, so it's going to be close and every point will count
I think you’re a seriously potential threat to all the other competitors, based mostly on your understanding of how your body works and your incredibly resilient mindset. As an announcer said repeatedly during the Arnold, you’re ‘annoyingly good’ at everything you set your mind to. Love that they see you that way, it speaks volumes about your incredible physical and mental strength. Give ‘em hell, we’re all pulling for you! ❤ from Canada
This will be an amazing year for Mitch. Miles ahead of where he entered last year in terms of experience, and he was a force to be reckoned with then still.
Mitch. I remember watching you with interest last year (since you're a fellow canuck, of course I was rooting for you)... But I remember thinking you sounded over-confident. But then, you showed up and blew everyone away! This year, I'm rooting for you again man! Go get it man!
I personally can’t see anyone beating Tom if he’s on it. Never guaranteed like, but man I’m rooting for you also. You give a lot of time for the community and your work is on point. All the best!
Him saying wide pavlo at 2:50 might mean he doesn't know Pavlo "Wide Pavlo" Nackonechny cancelled his participation and that the only Pavlo competing is Pavlo "Handsome Pavlo" Kordiyaka, who won the ESM by dominating endurance events, the same events Hooper plan on winning. This year's WSM sure will be interesting!
You didn't mention handsome pavlo... he's gonna upset some apple carts.. he's very underrated, he could definitely throw his hat into the ring and win it all
The field is stacked with so many great competitors. I've been watching WSM since the 90s and I love it! I just hope all the athletes have fun, that the competition is fierce and that no one gets any serious injuries! 💪🏋♀
With Wide Pavlo not being in there this year, any deadlift related events will maybe give Mitch some extra points, while they also will for Bish, but I dont think Bish poses a threat for winning the whole comp. I dont see the moose beating Brian or Tom on stones, but with Maxime out this year, a third or fourth place is possible there. If I HAD to guess, Mitch gets 3rd place this year behind a healthy Tom and a healthy faster Brian, or even maybe second place. Best of luck!
I think if WSM is run a 1000 times you come out 2nd 400 times, 3rd 200 times, 1st 150 times, 4th 150, and 5th or lower you get 100 times. Best of luck Mitch!
My prediction is for you to win. Based on momentum in the last year I think you are the man to take it. Several of these guys don’t have the hunger, the consistency and a few are afraid to lose versus win. Good luck but I really think you will be top 3 or 4 in every event you do and win overall.
I think that top 5 estimate is spot on. In any order if all stay healthy I have a battle between Mitchell, Shaw, T. Stoltman, Mitchell, Novikov for top 5.
Agreed. If he doesn't get end up in the hospitable somehow, he's extremely good at a lot of things, and not bad at anything. He's just had shit luck at the last two world's.
@@auto_revolt I only remember him tearing his bicep one year, and then having that allergy thing last year. I can't remember why he didn't place the other time.
Man, you´re so incredible athlete. I have no doubt you´ll be standing on the podium this year, I also thik you´re very capable of winnig WSM one day cause you´re so hard working, systhematic and confident a true warrior 💪👍 I wish you all the best, health and injury free. Greetings from SLovakia
Mateusz is still repeting that he has not came back to optimal shape and he will be competitive in 2024 if no issue with health along the line. I'm so exited that WSM is starting and BTS are already coming from atlethes :D Good luck, no injuries and gretings from Poland.
I think you nailed the prediction. I think if Mataus and Tom come in as the best version of themselves they will be the only people who could beat you. That being said your in better shape then both of them this year! Big love fellow Canadian Brother! I’ll be cheering for you.
You will absolutely win your heat. Just make sure you play it smart. All the other athletes have also got brain coaches this year. This is gonna be strength, endurance and brain power. Good luck.
He felt he could get a fast four, but not all 5. He didn't mention anyone who's gonna get all 5, mainly Brian & Tom, one or two others may sneak in a 5th finger.
Mitch you are so much more based on your predictions, I can finally subscribe, I think logic from events says trey, Brian and Tom have the edge this year, but you could win it, Oleksi and Matheus have chances of penetrating the podium too, but will struggle to win it this time imo.
Mitchell you are amazing strongman however i hope you and Mateusz will show us what competition is on a higher level your group is most difficult in my eyes!!! I wish to all of you plenty health and injury free competition on thi WSM. Best of luck from poland 💪💪
Mitch was just behind Brian on the stones at the Shaw Classic and that was a heavier set (which should favour Brian). Tom is less likely but if his stone run this year is like last year's or slower, I could see a chance. Not a high chance but he did say on a perfect run. If Tom or Brian have a perfect run (or let's rather say one close to or matching their best), there's no chance for Mitch to beat that (yet), I think.
Definitely think the potential is there. I have you as odds on favorite for podium finish. Barring injuries podium could be you, Tom, and Alexi. One of you three make a mistake and Mateusz or Trey could sneak in.
I think Mitch has a real chance at winning and is very likely to get a podium. I think 3rd is a very fair assessment, and I love the confidence to put it out there!
I underestimated you last year, wont make the same mistake again! Go out there and show em what you’ve got, genuinely believe you’ve got a title win in you at some point
I think that 53 points is very likely going to be the mark needed to win, this year. Using Brian, as the baseline, for this year's finals, which are very good, for him. Monster at fingers, top 2-3 at max dumbbell, truck pull and atlas stones for a probable score of 52, if he does enough on the remaining events. Oleksii is a monster at the dumbbell and will take a lot of points in deadlift, shield carry and truck pull. Tom is going to have to pull off a surprise, in one event, I think, to repeat, but can steal points in shield, truck pull and stones (of course). I have no idea where Trey is going to land, he gets better every time I see him compete and there are no grip events.
Love your work, but I have to cheer for Brian Shaw on this one, just for the legacy aspect. You are one of the best strongmen in the world, and I can not wait to see you hold that trophy.
Yeah he must of made a mistake. I think only maxim has come close to Tom which was last year and was 3 sec behind . Tom has won the last 3 WSM stones by a good margin
It's good to be confident and believe in yourself. However, I've heard here one indication that you might be a bit too confident - the words that you can win loglift ladder against anyone... Wish you luck!
I think Tom will retain with you and trey making up the podium would love to Luke on the podium just think with the line up that’s not gonna happen. Good luck to all.
Final results (before qualifying groups announced) 1. Tom 2. Novikov 3. Mateusz 4. Moose 5. Trey 6. Shaw 7. Wide Pavlo 8. Handsome Pavlo 9. Bobby 10. Singleton (injured) Out after stone-off: Luke Hicks Smaukstelis Janashia Bishop Faires Ahh... There is just too many good athletes to make some of the best to even fit in top-16...
Did you watch the video? The way he did "predictions" which is mostly a self prediction makes it irrelevant to know the groups. He knows he's making it through and he knows the 4-5 guys who are a threat to him are making it through. He's not concerned with the few guys that will be taking up the remaining spots.
@@shawnmichaud4484 @RobG yes I'm aware, but last year he did a proper prediction. I'm assuming it's different this year as he's a genuine top contender
what an incredible breakdown and surprising how accurate that 54 points prediction was
Best of luck Moose
I love your straight to the facts, calculated estimations. no bs, no fluff, just numbers and reasonable analysis. get after it!
Love the data driven approach.
Really like how objective you are about each event and where you think you'll finish.
I'm excited for this year's competition as I really think there's 6, maybe 7 guys who could genuinely win it, so it's going to be close and every point will count
I'm confident you will be on the podium, Mitch. Your training has been incredible and you are so quick. 💜
Yeah, I'm... I'm pretty sure he will be...
Love the honesty and it’s great to keep your expectations in check.
Good luck, be safe and have fun.

This year's WSM sure will be interesting!
Based on Mitch saying he had a couple more practices for truck pull this video may have been made before any cancellations.
Why is Wide Pavlo not attending this year? & Why isnt Martins Licis also? Are they both injured
Spot on bud congrats
53.5 points. He called almost every every perfectly.
You didn't mention handsome pavlo... he's gonna upset some apple carts.. he's very underrated, he could definitely throw his hat into the ring and win it all

Third is a very reasonable prediction Mitch! You remain as objective as ever. Let's see everything go perfectly and have our first Canadian champion!
I think that top 5 estimate is spot on. In any order if all stay healthy I have a battle between Mitchell, Shaw, T. Stoltman, Mitchell, Novikov for top 5.
Very excited for the Loz and Liz watch parties! Podium for the mooooose, hoping 🥇🏆
Cheering for you with all my Quebec City squad ! Lets go boy 🦌
Always great prediction videos. Keep it up
I think evans might throw a wrench in contest for everyone. Might make some people slip a place or two on a few events
Agreed. If he doesn't get end up in the hospitable somehow, he's extremely good at a lot of things, and not bad at anything. He's just had shit luck at the last two world's.

All the best and looking forward to you crushing it and getting on that podium.
After what you did at the Arnold you are 100 Percent a Contender. Best of luck brother you are one serious athlete. 🇨🇦
Best luck my man, youll end up on podium for sure!
Mateusz is still repeting that he has not came back to optimal shape and he will be competitive in 2024 if no issue with health along the line.
I'm so exited that WSM is starting and BTS are already coming from atlethes :D
Good luck, no injuries and gretings from Poland.
Go, Hooper, go! 💪🎉💪 Taking a girls’ trip with my mother & sister to come cheer you on!!!
Waiting for the groups to be set. Then will make my prediction .
Agreed. Wish they would hurry
I'd be happy to see you win Mitch. Good luck! From Sunny England 🏴
I think you nailed the prediction. I think if Mataus and Tom come in as the best version of themselves they will be the only people who could beat you. That being said your in better shape then both of them this year! Big love fellow Canadian Brother! I’ll be cheering for you.
I respect the ability to look at yourself honestly and objectively 👍
Humility is your greatest quality.
You will absolutely win your heat.
Just make sure you play it smart.
All the other athletes have also got brain coaches this year.
This is gonna be strength, endurance and brain power.
Good luck.
Idk how he didn't even mention brian shaw for the fingals. He may be older but he is amazing at the fingals.
He felt he could get a fast four, but not all 5. He didn't mention anyone who's gonna get all 5, mainly Brian & Tom, one or two others may sneak in a 5th finger.
Mitch you are so much more based on your predictions, I can finally subscribe, I think logic from events says trey, Brian and Tom have the edge this year, but you could win it, Oleksi and Matheus have chances of penetrating the podium too, but will struggle to win it this time imo.
Rooting for you to win!
You have lots of people out here who know you have this in you. But every competition is also a learning experience. Do your best and have fun.
Congratz champ!
Good luck!! 🇨🇦
Mitchell you are amazing strongman however i hope you and Mateusz will show us what competition is on a higher level your group is most difficult in my eyes!!! I wish to all of you plenty health and injury free competition on thi WSM. Best of luck from poland 💪💪
Well reasoned. I have you battling mostly with Tom to be honest for that 1st place. So I think podium finish definitely
This year is anyone's guess, but you always live up to your predictions. Best of luck Moose.
I would love to see brain get his 5th, but I really think it's gonna end up being Mitch and Tom going for the win
good analisys and great ambitions!!
4th behind Tom, Mateusz and Brian. All the best. Brutal competitors. That db is moving around as sand and shot shuffle
Sounding confident, but I think very realistic.
Podium for sure. Stay healthy and best of luck. Enjoy the competition
I think Mitch will podium for sure but the idea that he’s ever gonna beat Brian and Tom on a stone run is ridiculous

If Tom or Brian have a perfect run (or let's rather say one close to or matching their best), there's no chance for Mitch to beat that (yet), I think.
I've looked through all the guys I think are going to make the finals and I have you and Evan tied on points for 4th place!
WSM 2023!!
Great, honest breakdown. Love it.
I thought Mitchell hopper won already? I’m confused
The MOOSE, BABYYYY!!!!
I think is very realistic, even a bit downplaying his capabilities. Can't see lower then 3rd in the end result.
Definitely think the potential is there. I have you as odds on favorite for podium finish. Barring injuries podium could be you, Tom, and Alexi. One of you three make a mistake and Mateusz or Trey could sneak in.
Good luck may the best man win🎉
Good luck Mitch! I'll see you at the finals!
I think Mitch has a real chance at winning and is very likely to get a podium. I think 3rd is a very fair assessment, and I love the confidence to put it out there!
My goal will be to be able to hear myself going "Mooooooo" on the CBS broadcast.
He wasn't wrong
Sounds about right to me. Be pretty wacky if you were outside the top 5, but also very possible if little mistakes happen to come 5th
eager to see if the loading is in dry sand or out of the water going up the beach
Big fan of yours best of luck for the win I believe your 2023 wsm winner
Let’s go Mitch!!🇨🇦👏
Your amazing man!
where can we watch live? is it free?
I underestimated you last year, wont make the same mistake again! Go out there and show em what you’ve got, genuinely believe you’ve got a title win in you at some point
I think that 53 points is very likely going to be the mark needed to win, this year. Using Brian, as the baseline, for this year's finals, which are very good, for him. Monster at fingers, top 2-3 at max dumbbell, truck pull and atlas stones for a probable score of 52, if he does enough on the remaining events.

U got this mitch 💪 🍁
Does mitch know pavlo n. doesent compete?
Love your work, but I have to cheer for Brian Shaw on this one, just for the legacy aspect. You are one of the best strongmen in the world, and I can not wait to see you hold that trophy.
You got this 💪🍁
Great breakdown.
Got a group of absolute killers, podium for sure though
He already has the title of World's strongest runner
Wait u think trey is better than Tom on the stones?? In my opinion Tom beats everyone ever when fully fit on stones
he just misspoke there, he already said in other videos Tom, trey and Brian are the best and he maybe could be better than brian or trey.
Yeah he must of made a mistake. I think only maxim has come close to Tom which was last year and was 3 sec behind . Tom has won the last 3 WSM stones by a good margin
Good luck!
That “A” is driving me insane. Which is entirely my issue.
I think you can win it, Mitch. I'm guessing your closest competitors are going to be Evan and Oleksii. I'm excited to find out.
When is the worlds strongest man going to be televised?
Respect
I'd say you'll definitely win within the next 3 years or so. Partially because I hope Brian wins this year haha
"Doing things quickly is sort of my biggest strength" LOL
❤
Hate to say it because I love a lot of the other strongman in the comp but your the future
I agree with everything you said accept you being faster than Tom on a stone run🙄
That being said I think anywhere between 1st and 5th is possible for you
It's good to be confident and believe in yourself. However, I've heard here one indication that you might be a bit too confident - the words that you can win loglift ladder against anyone... Wish you luck!
Good luck Mitchell.
I think WSM this year is the most competitive its been for a LONG time
I think Tom will retain with you and trey making up the podium would love to Luke on the podium just think with the line up that’s not gonna happen. Good luck to all.

1. Tom

Faires
Ahh... There is just too many good athletes to make some of the best to even fit in top-16...
wide pavlo is out, evans is in
This is controversial damn 😂
I think Brian is easily top 2-3 in vehicle pull/fingers. He's going to have a lot of points will be hard to take him out of top 5 or 3...
Odd to predict when the groups aren't announced?
Did you watch the video? The way he did "predictions" which is mostly a self prediction makes it irrelevant to know the groups. He knows he's making it through and he knows the 4-5 guys who are a threat to him are making it through. He's not concerned with the few guys that will be taking up the remaining spots.
This was obviously filmed a good while ago, seeing as Wide Pavlo had to pull out of the completion a good few weeks ago.
@@shawnmichaud4484 @RobG yes I'm aware, but last year he did a proper prediction. I'm assuming it's different this year as he's a genuine top contender
The last time they had fingers fingers Brian was the only one that got all the fingers
Hooper is the future. I c many wsm coming he just makes it look so easy ..
