      It wasn't even really very close. Eddie performed 100% perfect text book reps; complete lockouts without double dipping. Thor on the other hand performed at best 90% and was fairly given a one rep deduction. Conclusion: Eddie not only won, but he smashed it, and deserves all the credit in the world. He's a real standup guy. Much respect!

    If anything, the judges were too lenient with Hafthor, but no matter how you feel about it, his score was 14 at the end of the exercise. Which meant that Eddie's target was 15. Can you imagine the idiocy of giving Hafthor another rep after the fact? Eddie looked like he could have done at least one or two more if he had to.

      I guess you can also argue Eddie did his faster... so even though that's not how things are decided, I think it matters. Problem is I think Eddie could have and should have gone for 16. I think hafthor would still be complaining for reasons...

    • @IRISHMARKSMAN446
      @IRISHMARKSMAN446 4 ปีที่แล้ว +113

      You have to also remember, Thor's argument is completely based on the fact, if that rep was allowed it would have been 15 each, and the overall score would have been a tie, not the one point Eddie beat him by.
      However had a target to aim at, and did 15 because that's what he had to do to win. I'm 99.9% sure, Eddie would have been more than able to do 16 or 17 if he had to.
      Plus there were 3 events after this I believe, so it's not as if he didn't have a chance to claw it back. Also on the Stone, Eddie knew he just had to lift them all to win, you could argue if he was against the clock and had to beat a specific time to win, he would have.
      But as mentioned in the video, Thor is surrounded my 'Yes' men, if he told them he believed water was green and the sky was black, they'd back him and convince him he was right. Thor has at least 4 reps that could have been DQ'd, he wasn't locking his elbows on them all either. It's arrogance of the highest order for Thor to genuinely believe he was cheated out of the title. He's like a child throwing his toys out the pram.

    • @Modrunnermusic
      @Modrunnermusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Same could be said for Brian. How many times did Brian come so damn close to winning. Brian has gotten so close to the trophy so many times but in his losses he became an even stronger champion. I think the one guy who said Thor is surrounded by Yes Men is correct. Thor is Mr. Hollywood and he has that Hollywood mentality.

      @Senior Billy Bull Thor was prepping exclusively for that lift and did it at a date and time most suitable for him. Eddie did it while already out of gas, and the challenge was thrown as a spectacle, nobody expected anyone to lift it. Also the weights Thor lifted were verified by his father, and Thor conveniently retired strongman with a bs excuse. So was it even 501kg that he lifted is up for debate

    • @kuvy0jhm00b
      @kuvy0jhm00b 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @Senior Billy Bull Thor Broke the record by a mere 1kg. Eddie did it by a mere 35 Kg at the time amongst guys like Benedikt Magnusson and Jerry Prichett who also had attempted the 500KG lift. Sure Thor "could've" pull 20+ more kg to prove a point, but the simple fact that he didn't when he had a chance to blow eddies record away and take all bragging rights away from Eddie's name makes that argument invalid.

    It's good that we get to hear other competitors opinions on what they thought about the scandal because they fully understand what it takes to even do a heavy lift and on top of that they all know "IT'S A SPORT!" you win some you loose some, but that doesn't stop them to keep competing and getting better each year and challenging themselves even more. But most importantly it's all about the sportsmanship.

  • @markjones127

    Watching the side by side comparison it was clear that the judges were extremely lenient with Hafthor who I think was VERY lucky to be given a score of 14, what a crybaby, Eddie you annihilated him on that one, the official record shows you won by one, but in reality I think Hafthor should have been reprimanded more harshly by the judges during the event and told he wasn't waiting for the down call, he was lucky to get 14 as he didn't even do 14 proper lifts!

      To add had Hafthor NOT been in GoT this wouldnt have been as bad for Eddie, Hafthor plays the Mountain which was the third actor to do so, Hafthor used this fame to slander an cast a shadow over Eddies years of 80+ hour weeks of training and recovering, seeing his family one hour a week most weeks, in order to accomplish this great feat an when Eddie finally acheived his goal of winning WSM 2017, up against the toughest competitors, this ten plus year journey and sacrifice was taken from him by a sore loser, Hafthor delusionally thought it was about one point when it was about events had Eddie an Hafthor tied, or Hafthor won the Viking press Hafthor would have lost still because Eddie won more events, events that Hafthor with his physique and levers should have won.
      TLDR: Hafthor lost three rounds made for his levers an physique, Hafthor double dipped FOUR times an only ONE was disallowed, Hafthor lost WSM, after Eddies retirement, in 2018 WSM, Hafthor beats his wife an the fame of GoT got to him aswell as his nasty narcissism!

See that as a Penalty, it's clearly more nice to Thor than just reject every reps because they're all bad.

The ref GAVE thor 3 and a warning and then took the 4th. GAVE HIM 3. thor didn’t even lock out or wait for the down call in half of them simply because he wasn’t strong enough to hold the weight up. thor was weaker in this event than Eddie, its clearly visible in the footage!
