Love how nice and calm Big Z always seems after winning events. Definitely a lot of professionalism and maturity there, a real boon to the sport. I'll say it again, strongest men in the world, but also contenders for the most polite men in the world :D
The biggest dog doesn't need the biggest bark. Because they have the biggest bite. Ever heard of the saying "little man syndrome" well these men are the opposite. They have what is called "big men syndrome"
The best part of this whole competition is when Brian Shaw says at 18:25 "I don't think that time is beatable" and the next man up Hafthor Bjornsson smashes it 2 minutes later. That's priceless!
Thor literally had a perfect throw on the last keg, inching over as it spun end over end. Its physically impossible to throw the last keg better than that. If you go back and do the split times for the other 7 kegs, they basically matched. Shaw got to keg 8 at 13.10, Thor at 13.45 but that extra .59 of air time cost him the race.
if Thor competes again and doesn't get injured like in 2019 I honestly can't see anyone beating him - Licis also stepped up hugely in 2019 so he's definitely one to watch. I reckon it'll be very close though
Brian Shaw setting what seemed like an unbeatable time in the keg toss, it really was incredible and he threw it out there that nobody would be faster. Next man up, Thor Bjornsson has something to say about that. This is why I am fascinated by WSM videos.
the 2014 WSM final was probably one of the most impressive final ever. Because the top3 of this year are maybe the top3 strongest guys that have ever lived...
When James Richardson said that this is the first time 3 strongmen have had a chance to win in the final event at 36:47, that's not true. In 1994, Magnus ver Magnusson, Manfred Hoerbel, and Riku Kiri were 1/2 point apart going into the final event. Epic finish.
1991-1996 "the Magnusson era" was the most entertaining era in all of strongman history IMO. Everyone had to figure the events out from scratch, nothing was standardised and you had to rely on your witts and pure strength
Crazy to think that Thor Lost the title by half a point and half a second 💔 Would've been way different for him if he won that year. The confidence takes a hit when you give everything and still don't get it done
RJ you must not have even watched the contest because this was nowhere near domination. Thor lost by litterally 0.5 points or 0.5 seconds or 1 rep. No matter how you look at it Thor has achieved WAY more then Eddie ever has. Thor has been Top 3 like 5 times and Eddie afaik only the year he won. Thor was Also plauged by injuries alot between 13-17 and acting on GoT for big parts of those years which gives him a direct disadvantage. Brian and Z are ofc better then Thor overall but Eddie has Done 2 big things hos entire career. WSM Winner + 500kg deadlift which thor crushed so hard Eddie wet his pants. Eddie almost died doing 500 Thor did it injured.
@Hidde de Roos well but Thor retired now, so we'll never know will we. He retired at an age where Big Z hadn't even peaked yet, Big Z at 32 was not as big and not in his prime yet.
You have my gratitude for uploading this friend. I was desperately trying to find somewhere to watch this as I don't live in the UK. Watched it all in one sitting. Was this the best final ever? Certainly it's the best I've seen in watching WSM. The barrel toss, in particular, was insane: Shaw's face at the end was priceless, bless him. Could we say Savickas match pudzianowski and win 5 titles next year?
it's could be hard for BigZ to win the WSM 2015 this year, he's very lucky to win the WSM2014 he won Brian Shaw in the Atlas Stone, just a half second.
Shaw and Bjornsson were SO close on Big Z's heals. If both Shaw and Thor keep doing what they are doing. It's going to be between those two... and those two alone in '15. with how strong, and insanely fast Thor and Shaw are, I don't think anybody else can get between them and first this year. I think it will come down to which one makes the most mistake's when lifting. Will be INSANE!
Shaw kinda got screwed on the keg toss for being too strong. He was actually faster than Thor as far as clearing the height but the time it took for the keg to hit the ground made the difference. Wouldn't have really mattered point wise in the final standings but definitely could have been a mental blow that may have affected him.
I think Brian Shaw is the world's strongest man naturally. His walk around weight is 440ish pounds and it never seems like he is tired or heavy breathing compared to other guys.
@@jacobmartin5943 Z was in his prime later than Pudz (despite similar age). Age matters, but so does when you get the right mix of technique and commitment. Pudz was one of the best but never even won an Arnold's. Z had to earn his titles, he's had to vie against the likes of Shaw and Thor (two MASSIVE opponents). Pudz had a much easier field of competitors.
@@anonanonymous8397 really because if you look at the 2018 WSM, they didnt have squat and mariusz probably would of won 2-3 events that were conditioning and placed top 4 in the power events and he would of had a great chance of winning WSM last year just based of what we saw from him in his 5 WSM wins.
+Nick Kraw OH UHHH DIDN'T GO OVER, DIDN'T GO OVER LOL STUMBLED TWICE THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIR WTF THAT CAN'T BE THE REAL COMMENTATOR? LOL WAY TO FUNNY
Hafthor Bjornsson would have easily won if any one of the following happened: 1) He wore a squat suit, and got just 1 extra rep. 2) Savickas did not try for his 15th squat, leaving him tied for that event. 3) Savickas got called for throwing his kegs out of order (the 3rd cleared before the 2nd). During the qualifiers, he looked the strongest, and was my pick to win. Maybe his inexperience (compared to Savickas, at least) cost him the win this year, but I am sure he will win very soon. He certainly has the talent.
True, however if Z was stopped then and there in the keg toss he could've gone back and re-done them in order and easily beaten the 6 kegs done by everyone else.
If Brian Shaw had a faster time than Big Z in the stones, then Hafthor would have won. Brian won this event against Big Z in 2013, so he was perhaps able to do it.
Pointless comment... if,s but,s what's. It's who ever does the right things at the right times under pressure wins!! That's what it takes to be a champion there loads of guys that should of won but never did!
Keg toss has a problem. Should be timed when the keg breaks the the top, not landing. Shaw threw it harder and went went farther on last keg and took longer to land. The cry baby barely got his over and it came down faster to just beat Shaw. Flawed event. Is Thor saying he was cheated out of the truck pull event? Wait he will.
Brian Shaw didn't show professional attitude in qualifying round and his vanity led to underestimating other strongmen. He deadlifted for only 6 reps thinking that no one could do further reps but amazingly the Austrian strongmen did 7 reps ! After making sure that he'd advanced to the finals he humiliated other strongmen and disrespected the audience by not even attempting Atlas stones... As Brian said himself normally he doesn't claim that his record is unbeatable... He did this time and ironically Hafthor improved his time in Keg Toss ! Pride comes before the fall....thus he placed 3rd and lost his title.
Every Strongman goes easy, if he doesn't need to give 100 percent. Strongman is so hard, the risk of injury is so high. That's a normal behaviour, especially in the pre-final.
ridiculous comment really, try it yourself to lift those stones or those deadlifts and you wouldn't write something like that again. Why should Brian Shaw make all 7 deadlifts if he doesnt need them, in every such heavy lifts they risk injuries. It's such a dangerous sport. And this final was crazy, so strong top3 competitors. Brian Shaw knew that he has to save energy to be able to win against Bjornsson and Savickas. And his keg toss was extremely good, he couldnt know that Bjornsson is that good...
Big Z is very lucky that Shaw or Thor didn't take it this year. I feel like Thor and Shaw "playing it smart" came back to bite them in the arse on things like the barrell squad and overhead log press. I bet either Thor or Shaw take it next year. Thor and Shaw both were RIGHT on big Z's heals in '14.
The line-up here is top shelf! You could take the majority of these guys out and drop them into other eras and they would arguable win world titles. The quality on show is phenomenal. The big 3 are in a class of their own.
why dos the rope look so slag when they are pulling so hard on it, i know the rope is a little heavy but they are pulling as hard as a tank, and what is the rope tied to in the other end and thanks so much for all these shows i love them
hafthor is probably one of the most strongest overall amongst all the strongman athletes ever competed but he only managed to win the title once. it is actually upsetting for him. in his talk after he won wsm 2018, he says "i started to think am i never gonna win the title, am i a failure". he made to the podium every year except his debut in 2011. he was in the podium consecutively in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 i mean maan if that doesn't show the overall strength, i don't know what else does? i am a big fan of him, i also like brian shaw but he is so ambitious you can always see the envy towards his competitors especially hafthor. on the other hand big z is a great example of sportsmanship.
What a huge fail it was for the pedestal to fall over on Mike Burke. They should have been more stable or a guy there to hold them. I think Burke should have had another go because it may have seen him come 3rd if he bet Brian Shaw. Felt so bad for Thor, it was his weak squat that lost it for him in the end.
They should really be able to get Big Z's name right as many times as he's won! It's Savi-CK-as not Sav-IS-ckas! I know it's not a big deal, but he deserves it. The man has definitely earned that.
Thor did start moving at “ready” on the keg toss not on the whistle. And Brian had a slight double-check on that fourth stone that cost him a second. That was the difference.
Something went wrong with the sound in this video. I made a comparison video with Shaw and Thor next to eachother, starting at the same time and Thor was faster. Also Thor was around 3 seconds faster on the stones than Brian, he was always going to be faster. Although if Brian had done the stones a little faster Thor would have been the champion because that would put Z at 3rd place in the stones.
@@NSD-fp9qj it was a while ago I made this comment, but what I think I meant is that this year was the first year he was a real contender for the title
@@kooroshrostami27 true, brian was younger and more naive here i'm sure he matured as a person but we're talking about brian in the context of this video
can we quickly appreciate that Thor won 3 events outright (including what I *think* were two world records at the time - keg toss and atlas stones...?), came 2nd in 2 events outright, and STILL didn't win the entire final... - all he needed to do was ONE more rep in the squat
He only needed 1 more rep in the squat, when you tie you split the points. He lost by half a point. Same thing happened in 2017, Thor was 1 or 2 squat reps from winning.
@@shaktisehrawat7479 But now Thor has become the most well rounded strongman, and he is benefiting because Mateusz lost to him only because of his 'weak' deadlift
Nah, he comes off as a typical jock who happened to become one of the GOATs of strongmen so he had to learn how to speak fluently. It conflicts with his natural personality.
Love how nice and calm Big Z always seems after winning events. Definitely a lot of professionalism and maturity there, a real boon to the sport. I'll say it again, strongest men in the world, but also contenders for the most polite men in the world :D
Being among the absolute top dogs for a decade allows you to be calm and humble. Big Z is amazing.
It's not like he had very much to prove anymore.
The biggest dog doesn't need the biggest bark. Because they have the biggest bite.
Ever heard of the saying "little man syndrome" well these men are the opposite. They have what is called "big men syndrome"
Shout out to Mateuz for professional and honorable behavior just like Big Z.
I like the way he huffs and puffs after a heavy event, all while looking at the camera lol
Even a bad keg toss, Z smiles. What a great competitor. 16 second keg toss was incredible. To have that record be broken moments later was a amazing.
Big Z apparently did even faster than that at another event. Amazing considering his age.
The best part of this whole competition is when Brian Shaw says at 18:25 "I don't think that time is beatable" and the next man up Hafthor Bjornsson smashes it 2 minutes later. That's priceless!
paysonfox88 l
The reason he lost is because the time stops when the last keg hits the ground, and he threw the last one higher than bjornsson.
Haha, Thors time was faster regardless
Thor literally had a perfect throw on the last keg, inching over as it spun end over end. Its physically impossible to throw the last keg better than that.

Thor did start moving at “ready” on the keg toss not on the whistle. And Brian had a slight double-check on that fourth stone that cost him a second. That was the difference.
Something went wrong with the sound in this video. I made a comparison video with Shaw and Thor next to eachother, starting at the same time and Thor was faster. Also Thor was around 3 seconds faster on the stones than Brian, he was always going to be faster. Although if Brian had done the stones a little faster Thor would have been the champion because that would put Z at 3rd place in the stones.
Zydrunas is the freakiest since Pudzianowski.
2014 was hafthors best year yet.
I guess 2018 means nothing
@@NSD-fp9qj it was a while ago I made this comment, but what I think I meant is that this year was the first year he was a real contender for the title
Seeing Brian Shaw lose by half a second and seeing his reaction is honestly heartbreaking.
It's actually satisfying to see arrogance being silenced haha
@@muhammadnasif1496 I am a Big Z fan but Shaw isn't arrogant. He is humble.
@@kooroshrostami27 lol he said no one could beat his time and then thor immediately beats him. the arrogant idiot set himself up for that.
@@royalzak2670 everybody has his cocky moments. Doesn't make him an arrogant person when he is humble in pretty much every other instance.
@@kooroshrostami27 true, brian was younger and more naive here i'm sure he matured as a person but we're talking about brian in the context of this video
I honestly wish Thor won this one. Would have spiced up the rivalry between Shaw, Z, and him
BIG Z ! ! !
Keg Toss:
Brian: I´mma lose my cool and humblness once! i worked hard for this, what´s the worst can happen?
Thor:
Big Z face remind me of Hulk.
can we quickly appreciate that Thor won 3 events outright (including what I *think* were two world records at the time - keg toss and atlas stones...?), came 2nd in 2 events outright, and STILL didn't win the entire final... - all he needed to do was ONE more rep in the squat
12:47 they got the years wrong!
funny as fuck, when there's a close up of Bjornson smashing down a tyre, some guy in the crowd shouts, OW!!!
Z has the best form. Hall is just reckless. More power than brains.
That stone rolling around in the background! Haha!
Hafthorrrrr!!!!! Ahhhhh that keg toss
At 11:35 if Mike Burke wasn't told to face the front I reckon he would have almost tied if not beaten Shaw in the axle press
Mad how they didn’t differentiate the people who only got 6 kegs

Best WSM of all time?
It's amazing seeing this in 2020, knowing how far Eddie Hall came in the next 3 years. He improved at an incredible rate!
Too bad he can’t seem to stay hydrated
Too bad he doesn’t a needle in that massively inflated ego of his.
@@mrRunist you would be the same if you achieved what he did
@@NSD-fp9qj That's an insult. No, I would not. And none of the other strongmen, which have achieved significantly more, have.
@@mrRunist yeah you would you’re a joke if you think that good thing you never will
Only the Brits should do commentating for WSM.
2 more reps in squat, and thor would have won this. Crazy how 1 weak event out of so many made so much difference
He only needed 1 more rep in the squat, when you tie you split the points. He lost by half a point. Same thing happened in 2017, Thor was 1 or 2 squat reps from winning.
@@ExecutiveRocket didn't know that, thanks for enlightening me 👌👌
@@shaktisehrawat7479 But now Thor has become the most well rounded strongman, and he is benefiting because Mateusz lost to him only because of his 'weak' deadlift

Can you imagine Hafthor as an NFL tight-end?!
No I can't because I have no clue what that means
the fck doesn NFL mean? Niggas For Life?
@@kooroshrostami27 national football league
Is Bill K just the weirdest guy ever? He always gives off the weirdest vibes
Nah, he comes off as a typical jock who happened to become one of the GOATs of strongmen so he had to learn how to speak fluently. It conflicts with his natural personality.
Godbless broeddie
Thor with the false start in the keg toss. Brian should have won that but Thor still had an amazing performance

James Richardson's about the last guy I expected to be commentating this. Nice surprise lol
