Colin Bryce a presenter, referee, commentator, strongman competitor, olympic level bobsledder and most important of all, The Space Cowboy. This man can do it all.
Real monster that Ahola.. So much smaller than the rest but could outlift them anyway specially in deadlift, amazing.
He's specifically built for the deadlift. He wasn't a great preser, although not bad. And he was pretty good at loading events and races but not the strongest Svend was stronger than ahola
truly a goat
I miss growing up watching these classic WSM contests on HITstrongman's channel. They're great entertainment and teach you how to count down from 10.
The fast cut away at 57:12 when you push that hard that can happen.
Especially with that McDonald’s sign behind him 😂
running to 100 meters with 160 KG ROCK is INSANE
Who’s been watching old episodes of worlds since WSM 2023?
longer
Miss the car flip - bring that back.
Really thought Flemming was going to win that year. He did seem like he really was stronger than everyone at most events
Ya I felt that he was absolutely dominating out there… and when the ref discounted his last lift on the log press, it took away his edge and slid slowly into a second place finish.
@@intellivisionmaster7999Doug Edmond’s hated him and wanted one of his boys to win.
yo Colin competing lmao
Bet you weren't ready for that!!!
BIG KISS to Philippa Forrester
Forgot how hot Phillipa Forrester was
Its crazy how far the game has moved on....
105 Kg log!! I hit 100 for 1 rep the first time i tried it and I am a "normal gym guy" 😀OK they did reps but still
@@patrikboij7560they did reps with your max😂
Great show, great champion 👏
Jouko Ahola had that really good technical lifting method and smart decision maker in strength. He is not genetically strong like most athletes on the field (for example like Jon Pal or Bill Kazmaier) but he is a "smart strong" guy who knew to score more point in order to be consistent in the top 3. That is the reason he was consistent to made through to the podium with his only 3 times competing on WSM back in late 90s.
What the hell was up with Flemming and the log lift? He bounced it off the floor which should be disallowed, racking up an insane total in a very short amount of time, yet the referee disallowed his last rep which I thought was actually fine?
It was fine, Dougie is was very inconsistent and if you pissed him off or he didn’t like you you’d get screwed over on one or most of the events.
His last lift was his best lift :) :) He was hosed there!
Flemming got shafted on that 13th rep- some bulllshit
"Strongman don't need no knife........Strongman don't need no gun...........Strongman don't need no fancy plan.......Strongman just need STRENGTH!" -Chief Iron Bear
GREAT BATTLE
Probably one of the strongest finals ever, you basically got the best strongmen ever of 6 different nations: Finland, Denmark (this can be discussed), Sweden, Germany, Norway and Fiji. It is maddness... Oh yeah, and it's always lovely to watch Ahola throwing up at the end.
Are those not the smallest "trophies" in recorded history? By contrast, you look at the ones in recent years, they have their own gravitational pull. Big shout out to Bolin Cryce though, WSM hall of famer, no doubt.
Some of the events were too light and ended up being a speed race instead of more emphasis on power. The overhead press for example looked too light.
reps is strength its not powerlifting
They need to bring the car flip back to strongman now
Big iron big iron
Hahahaha they are all so so incredibly buff. I’m laughing so hard. If I ever get lost in the forest I’m taking one of these guys. 14:00 in I just kept thinking. “Ok we gotta make a log cabin. Go ahead and cut that tree down and carry it over there. Pick that tree up and lift it over there….” Hahaha
Someone wrote if Larry Wheels was strong enough to be compete in the World's Strongest Man and I thought of this guy Jouko Ahola. Wheels has to gain 25 to 50 lbs minimum.
Jouko Ahola won 2 WSM
Larry has competed in strongman and did ok. If he got Thor to coach him for a year and he pushed up to about 320lbs he could be world class.
@@ruffe7655 Exactly but he weighs at least 25 lbs more than Larry Wheels. The strongest guys ever look like Eddie Hall and Don Reindhout. The guys before them looked like Bill Kazmaier. However Kaz came after Don and like Don Kaz was a cert. BA powerlifter as was Jon Pall Sigmarson
@@TheRealTomahawk no
@@ruffe7655 there's no intelligence in your word. At least I know who Don Reindhout and Jon Pall Sigmarson are. And the importance weight plays in power lifting.
Please dont spoil us with the caption...
He was not impressive like the great champions but he was constant when it came to scoring points and that helped him win
World's biggest Chad
He drew a straight!
Вот эти парни выглядят как настоящие атлеты. Почему у современных парней такие большие животы?
50:15 is that Owen Heart?
2 m is 6'7" not 6'5" lol
2M 6'6" 😈
Always ironic to see white Aryan men with native dream catcher tattoos standing next to an authentic Native American.
