@@avlinrbdig5715 He's norwegian - but you're correct. Faen/fan (Norwegian/Swedish) is basically the same word. I'd place it somewhere between "damn" and "fuck", in terms of profanity level. Damn would be Pokker, fuck would be Helvete. Faen/fan is a middle ground. ...we got a pretty wide range of curse words in Scandinavia. ;)
I love watching the old shows and comparing how the safety and equipment has advanced over the years. Those older dudes are just lucky to have made it through the events without loss to life or limb. It's amazing.
Number 92. - Eddie winning deadlift in WSM2017 by pulling 472kg is top1 on my list. Such weight after that many events. One thing I would add to the list would be 2017 Kieliszkowski's plane pull. He was a new guy, he had little muscle, little experience and won an event which favors heavy guys, even though he was the lightest. Mindblowing.
Great list. Here are a few others I like: -Brian Shaw max atlas stone WR in 2016(?) with a torn hamstring -Sam Belliveau circus dumbbell WR (beating the openweight WR as a middleweight) -Mateusz Kieliszkowski frame carry WR from the 2022 Arnold -Victoria Long easy 295 kg elephant bar deadlift WR -Hafþór Björnsson weight over bar WR at the 2022 Rogue (even after slimming down) -Inez Carrasquillo and Olga Liashchuk being the only two to finish the sandbag to shoulder medley at WSW 2022 -Asko Karu 482 kg stiff bar deadlift with only standard straps in training -Rhianon Lovelace axle deadlift WR -Rob Kearney on the heavy super yoke in the 2019 WSM heats -Adam Bishop on the axle deadlift for reps at Giants Live (matching Oleksii Novikov for first, but Adam didn’t use a suit) -Rauno Heinla 580 kg silver dollar deadlift -Seven 1,000 lb+ pulls at the 2021 World Deadlift Championships -Andrea Thompson log press feats (WR for max weight and/or 125 kg American Oak for 5 reps)
@@David-337dn thats honestly the most freakish strength ive ever seen he came out of nowhere with 3 month training in strongman and just repped what the others couldnt even lift he is a true fucking freak of nature 🤣🤣🤣
I know Thor broke the record with 501, but there was something unreal about Eddie doing 500 the first time. That era of Eddie Hall was such a monster of determination.
I write to appreciate the amount of work you have done with this video (and all your videos ofc). We dont appreciate it loud enough sometimes. Many thanks for this 🙂🙏
Tom McGee psyching himself up was epic. Also Jouko Ahola winning on his first attempt and at such a light weight compared to the others was a holy s moment.
Loz could you do a video on strongman records that are unbreakable? Mariuz winning by 20 points and Big Z claiming 8 Arnolds would have to be up there.
Mariuz's 5 titles is unlikely to be broken. The last decade has seen the sport grow a lot, and there are many more 'professional' strongmen coming up through the ranks. It's like when Tiger Woods dominated golf and inspired an entire generation of fathers and sons to train from basically birth to become pro golfers. It's so hard to win a major in golf compared to when Tiger first stepped on the scene because of what his legacy inspired. Strongman is so competitive now, and the margins between victory and 4th place are very thin. No chance anyone breaks that 20 point margin, and sustaining success at the highest level for 6 victories is going to be nearly impossible.
Wow, what a great video, guys!! That must have taken a ton of time and research. A few takeaways...old strongman events were crazy dangerous...Chloe's lift and reaction hit me in the feels...Kaz is definitely the scariest strongman ever
I was surprised Martins blitzing the stones over post at the 2021 Rogue after everyone else struggled with it so hard wasn't on your list. Chloe's lift is one of the best moments on here for sure.
Watching young Savickas have a atlas stone drop on his stomach at first strongman to being one of the atlas stone champs and lift the Austrian oak. 🎉🎉🎉 Bravo 👏
Great list, some of my favorite moments in Strongman here, no doubt. ... And some of my least. Watching Glenn Ross cry in 2000 when he missed out of the final, and anything Stone Off related. 36 was the one I was waiting for; Pfisters prediction is by far one of my favorite moments as a fan, second only to when Phil started locking out those natural stones in 2006 and I totally knew he was actually going to make good on it. That head to head between JF Caron and Jerry Pritchett. There is no quit in either one of those guys and that's still probably my favorite moment so far from the Shaw Classic. Big Z and Mariusz were absolutely incredible in their day. Along with Brian and the consistency of Thor, they've got to be the best Strongmen ever. You got to give it up to Mitch Hooper on all of his appearances on here too. Absolutely incredible athlete, and crazy determination. A few honorable mentions. Berend Veneberg being the first guy to beat out a returning WSM Champion for his spot in WSM at Strongest Man in the Netherlands 1993. (Great competition too) Jouko Ahola, like Magnus Ver Magnusson also won WSM in his first appearance in 1997. How about Regin Vagadal in 1996? The most famous man in the Faroe Islands, winning his heat having never even seen at least most of the events in the Competition. Lazlo Fekete making the 1999 final, 9 years after he last competed at Worlds in 1990. The gap between appearances beaten only by Travis Ortmayer. (2011-2021) Also worth mentioning though everybody already knows it. Between 2009 - 2016 no one won WSM other than Zydrunas Savickas and Brian Shaw. Lastly, "Stupid Event" 🤣 Got to Give it up to Loz for defeated a peak Thor Bjornsson in the 2016 Europe's Strongest Man.
I grew up watching WSM competitions, so this drew me back to childhood memories. I've always admired these guys for the strength and discipline they exhibit physically, but mentally as well to train up to those weights. Just wild to think what a human is capable of during moments of adrenaline.
Jamie Reeves opening our new shop in 1990 is my best strongman memory. We had him pull a narrow boat which was comically easy for him then he stayed and armwrestled all the kids and a few over zealous adults for the rest of the day. Safe to say nobody got the better of him, although a few of the kids did come close. Everyone had a great time and he seemed like a really decent bloke.
Mitch Hooper is an incredible athlete, he always comes across like it's all no biggy but I saw a tear on his cheek when you had your arm around him Uncle Loz!
OD losing his balance running uphill and appears to throw the barrel over the edge of the bridge, while bumping into the half-wall…. Hysterical!!!! Add in the complete lack of safety for the competitors and the public! I loved this entire collage!
I understand about the importance of safety, more standardized events, etc., and that's better for the athletes, the older events are so much cooler and more fun to watch. And, man. if events were still so varied and athletic Mariusz could've won 15 years in a row or something. Crazy
That Kaz train pull, every time I see it my hamstrings and glutes just fire. Always was a motivation at the gym when pulling weight behind you, never got past an SUV, but still lol
WAIT. WAIT. NO JON PAUL SCREAMING THERE IS NO REASON TO BE ALIVE? Bogus list... (otherwise actually quite a great video... bagrace+bench press looked like CrossFit games lmao)
Boy this brings back memories from my childhood watching WSM at Christmas whilst eating my bodyweight in chocolate 🍫😂😂😂 29:15 that's the first CrossFit WOD ever 😂😂😂
Great video! Just a small caption error for number 20. Reinholdt's Down, where part of the caption read WSM 2023 but the audio correctly stated 1978 tram pull. Sorry to quibble.
Great list and great video Loz. Thank you! I would put Derek Poundstone from Fortissimus 2008 on the list when he lift the third and final natural stone when no other could. Even Big Z thought he had the win in that competition.
I really enjoyed this video and I’m grateful for the time you put into editing it, but it went by so fast that I couldn’t really appreciate all of the individual segments. Maybe you can do a series of shorter videos in which you spend a bit more time explaining each highlight. Each video could have a theme: era, event, type of highlight, etc. 😊
18:01 man, to see that tiny-looking girl who has a body more akin to a swimsuit model than a powerlifter lift those stones was WILD! That is one seriously powerful young lady!
Great video. My favourite moment is #99, Zydrunas repping the 205kg log makes me giddy even to this day. The mogging is further increased by the fact that the ASC discontinued the 205kg log after his departure
Video idea: 10/10 Presentation and commentary: 10/10 All killer no filler: 10/10 Overall score: 10/10 Awesome video, Loz; the fact that you’re the one explaining everything makes it a perfect experience and a great introduction for curious potential new fans and long-time fans alike. The only thing I’d warn about is to watch for people stealing your idea and video, because it is that good. Sometimes they rip it as it is, other times they add their own comments and/or change the order of things in an attempt to claim it’s their own work. Not saying it WILL happen, but some channels are brazen and shameless, so worth keeping in mind. It’s obvious you put a lot of work into this and it’d be awful to see someone else benefit from that. Okay! Sorry for the negativity when it should all be positive stuff! Brilliant, brilliant job, and I hope it brings many people to your channel and strongman 🤞🤞🤞
„FUCK FUCK FUCK“ „Not quiet sure what he‘s saying in Norwegian there but im guessing he‘s not very happy“ commentary gold at 2:40 right there 😂😂

@@BeastsandBarbells I don't agree - it was an absolute organizational shit-show of a mess for competitors to fairly win or lose.

Faaaackkkk
Abit late, but he is danish but we northmen are all the same, cheers from sweden
Faen, faen, faen. Faen is a simplified form of the Norwegian word "fanden", which is an old term used for the devil.
Is he danish? But he is called karlson
So glad Myers got that dumbbell after the error.
Chloe Brennan lifting the replica Dinnie stones at the Arnold’s will never not make me cry! Just phenomenal ❤
One of the best moments in sports!
A huge eye opener for sure
moment which seems almost out of this world !! probably one of the greatest moments in sports ever. shows the power of the will
Yes! And love seeing Dr. Jan Todd, first woman to lift them, in the background behind Chloe, reacting & cheering her on! Loved it!
……will always make me cry.

-Rhianon Lovelace axle deadlift WR
-Rob Kearney on the heavy super yoke in the 2019 WSM heats
-Adam Bishop on the axle deadlift for reps at Giants Live (matching Oleksii Novikov for first, but Adam didn’t use a suit)

The belsak bounce had me clenching every muscle in my body because just a slip up and he could get really hurt
Well played to him for pulling that off
One of my favorite moments.
The other athletes after belsak then tried to copy the technique, so judges were fine with it
Always dangerous to bounce one's belsak
Mateusz Kieliszkowski placing 4th at the first Rogue Invitational after zeroing one event (almost zeroing two, really) was another amazing one for me.
Tom McGee psyching himself up was epic. Also Jouko Ahola winning on his first attempt and at such a light weight compared to the others was a holy s moment.
I fucking LOVE that Neil narrates these events most of the time. and if you dont know the fucking LEGEND Neil Pickup. You aint from our cloth.
Best compilation I’ve seen! Awesome work, Loz!!

Amazing video. Not a single dud. I love some of the deeper picks like JF vs Jerry at the first SC.
“Faaaaaaccckkkk,” “I’m not sure what he is saying in Norwegian but he’s not happy!” IS THE FUNNIEST STATEMENT I’VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think every 5 years should be an "All Vintage" WSM Event. I love the old ones! Such a raw feeling.
I grew up watching WSM competitions, so this drew me back to childhood memories. I've always admired these guys for the strength and discipline they exhibit physically, but mentally as well to train up to those weights. Just wild to think what a human is capable of during moments of adrenaline.
31:33 The Moose making Canada proud, BAYBEE! I was so happy when this happened. An elite athlete, and genuinely good guy.
Unbelievably dangerous and unsporting behavior by Kaz starting at 3:45. He almost killed his own teammate.
Couldn't agree more. That was egregiously stupid and uncalled for.
Loved the list

45 always gets me. Slapping Derek mid lift was beyond disrespectful in my opinion. Wish Poundstone won a title at least once.
I agree. He was so close too. Especially when you hear how much of an asshole the Dominator was. Would've been happier to see Poundstone get that.
Absolutely love this sport, great content.
Missed your videos, great compilation.
All the dancing strongmen and you left the best one out 🤪🤣
Great video, it was very much enjoyed!

Kaz’s sausage hold 😂😂😂
Well done Loz.
Love this vid. My top three is Samuelsson breaking Megamans arm, The Dominators performance and Halls 500kg deadlift :)
the last injury was crazy dropping the atlas stone , Eddie Hall and the 500kg deadlift
5:36 what the hell is this moment about?? 😂😂
Great to see you back, have missed your videos
Thanks for using my vid @10:01 💪💪💪💪
Kazmaier is a fucking legend. Strongman is far from a big time sport, but his contributions should definitely be recognized in his homeland.
