@@antoniocenteno1483 nahhh I still think Thor legit expects to be "back" soon and that this was an event he thought he could win but Mitch keeps delivering. 😁 I do think they look like they legit respect each other though, which I expect from Mitch but to see it from Thor is cool.
I think Mitch also knows that some referees give the down signal easily. It's nothing but a benefit to the athletes, the sport and the refs themselves that they are strict and not lenient.
He doesn't give anything unless it's 100% controlled. Like he said, it's hard to ref this event, as we've seen before when things get questionable. No room for shenanigans this time. 😄
Agreed. The thing is (I may be going into deep with this) strength is not just about lifting something from a to b. It’s also about showing control and stability
Outstanding Performance! That frame carry was blazing fast!! I’ve seen you do it in your videos many times, but wow, in competition…it was next level!! You can see most guys struggled, but for you it was a light work! I absolutely love Big Z and when he didn’t give it to you, my heart sunk!! But it was the right call. I absolutely love Strongman, but you have me even more excited!! I feel like a little kid again watching Strongman for the first time! 😂 Thank you for reping 🇨🇦 so well brother!! LHBK!! 🫎 💪🏽
Mitch should go out to Iceland and make some content hanging with Thor. Would be fun to watch plus Thor can show Mitch a few things to make him even better than he already is.
Yeah it is but how long?... History repeat quickly Thorself but now with different opponent and more quickly if Mitchell keeps winning. I'm rooting Mitchell, he is true and real sportmanship, not pretentious
Class act putting in big Z's explanation and agreeing with an explanation why. Knocking on the door of being considered one of the greatest of all time.
That's why I said knocking on the door rather than actually being one of the greatest. Too early to say that he is but to me he's heading into that conversation if he keeps performing like he is.
Hooper's acknowledging Z's decision and accepting with ZERO crying. Things like that are why he is a great ambassador for the sport and just a good person. Hope Mitch is adding selves in his house, to display all the hardware he will be displaying in the future. Rock on Hoop 🤘😎
This is why I love Strongman as its not purely 1rm strength but how much of that strength can you hold for time. Hooper looks healthy regardless of what it takes to compete at that level. Brian Shaw as well. Eddie is definetly one heck of a human competting with the big boys but all that extra weight gonna hurt.
I think Thor is just happy to have more strong people near him. Dude's been at the top for so long, he was probably feeling lonely. Great job Hula Hoop!
It’s crazy the evolution that strongman has seen. From guys that were just huge everywhere, especially the gut, to a guy like moose, who honestly just looks like a big, strong healthy guy. I think it gives the sport a lot more promotability. Congrats Mitch.
@@mitchellhooperstrongman yeah truly anxious to see what he'll be capable of this time. Looks so damm strong already. You're just a lot faster now, damn
There must have been something in the UoG tap water Mitch. Just keep going man, this isn’t a reign of terror, it’s a dynasty of kindness. Also Big Z looking happy as per usual
Congratulations ! Strong, fast and Smart, and calculating. New breed of strong man! I have 3 daughters now grown but the thing they remember the most is date night with daddy. Enjoy
Bro massive MASSIVE congratulations!! Absolutely insane to win WSM and then come back for the 1st two comps of the year and win back to back while staying healthy. Can't wait to see what you do at WSM this year! God bless and much love!
Congratulations, Mitch. You definitely earned that win. I believe you are in shape to win another world's strongest man title, then win the strongest man on earth after that.

Thor with a close second this time instead of the distant 4th in Colombus! Things are heating up 🔥 I honestly dont care much for WSM anymore since they are so bad about actually showing the damn thing, but looking forward to the next time I can see you and Thor in comp! and Lucas Hatton was amazing too, I dont think anyone expected anyone to get the 130kg dumbell lol
GG’s Mitchell. When you won WSM last year I didn’t know who you were and I didn’t know how to feel about you. I’ve been a Brian Shaw fan for the last 6 or more years when I discovered strongman. Seeing you come to the Shaw Classic and do what you did and be apart of the end of his career was awesome. You’ve become my favorite current man to watch and your LHBK message as well as your dedication to learning and teaching others is inspiring. Go and get that back to back WSM title for us!
Mitch got what the great Mariusz had also, he is explosive. Lot's of strongman lacking that and try to brute force through it while an explosive hit from the legs can outclass stronger shoulders by far. That combined with his power is a great receip to win. Great work Mitch!!
This comment is for future me.. I currently weigh 168lbs at 5'11 ft tall. I just started consistent lifting (two months ago) with pieces of steel from work. I can't afford real weights. Let's see how I progress by next year's event. Ps. I live 2 hrs northwest of your neighborhood Mitchell. Keep up the good work. You're doing us real Canadians proud.
Another awesome performance and another trophy to bring home to the family! Well deserved Mitch, six weeks to get ready for WSM good luck and be safe! Congratulations
This man is fantastic! He's some type of a "cyborg", the way he's taken over strongman! This takes me back to my "Kazmier" days of when I first started watching strongman. We are truly witnessing something special. All, while being a good family man, and good person! I'm very happy for him, and for the sport of strongman, to have him!
Hooper is only 28 years old! He just knocks at the door of his prime years. Let that sink in! Moose is gonna dominate the sport next couple of years surely. Amazing athlete!
I mean Thor getting back his overhead is the X factor. If Thor can get back to peak he is probably the favorite in any comp he is in. If Thor had the same overhead strength he had before his pec tear he likely would have won
I don't downplay Thor at all offcourse. His PEC tear has certainly effected his pressing strength. I really hope he gets back at top form. Just wanna say Hooper has the age advantage.
I am not a huge strongman fan but I watch some of these guys on youtube. I really appreciate the Moose. Love his demeanor, his attitude towards many subjects, and what he does with his platform. Of course, he is a great athlete but he goes further than that
Legendary and still humble! Congratulations!! What an honour to receive that level of respect from Hafthor! Big Z being tough on you but is also pushing you to be your absolute best in the long run. Your speed is undoubtedly the most shocking and awesome aspect of how you compete.
Holy shit, he's not only the strongest but p4p, he must be some kind of FREAK!!! The size difference is huge, yet he's stronger! Impressive would be an understatement!
Congrats Mitch. Unstoppable momentum. Bet having your daughter makes your drive even stronger. Your perspective on life and down to earth persona is a breath of fresh air for the sport.
Congrats!!! You are one of the few elite strongmen who consistently entertains AND educates on this platform, and of the latter, you do it more than anyone else. Keep it up!!

Strongman is such a great sport because of people like them!
Love that Mitch gave credit to Big Z for perfect reffing. Big Z knows what he's doing, and so does Mitch.
I think Mitch also knows that some referees give the down signal easily. It's nothing but a benefit to the athletes, the sport and the refs themselves that they are strict and not lenient.
Very strict judging from Big Z, but it seemed consistent for all athletes, which is what is the most important!
I say great judging for sure

Big Z is always one of the strictest judges at every show, which is fine because he applies the same high standards to all the athletes.
Agreed. The thing is (I may be going into deep with this) strength is not just about lifting something from a to b. It’s also about showing control and stability

@@mitchellhooperstrongmandeadlift!
@mitchellhooperstrongman seeing you run with that yolk was awesome.
that yoke run was an absolute showstopper 🔥
I know Mitch is insanely strong but for some reason i am always even more impressed by how smart, calculated and strategic he is.
Impressive stuff
Crazy he's only been doing strongman for a few years and is already schooling the field with his technique and strategy on many events
He reminds me of brian in that sense.
That has a lot to do with how strong he is, when your biomechanics and technique are great you recruit more muscle
You are hands down the ultimate strongman. Strong but also very athletic and with good cardio.
Exactly how I feel! Add durable as well . He has all the right pieces to be one of the goats if he keeps it up
Looks relatively healthy too
Dude you are really showing the age of the other competitors. Who says cardio sucks, it seems to have benefited you very well in Strongman! Congrats 🎉
Does seem like a heavy influence in cardio from a young age and then to strongman, has definitely helped. Same with Eddie with his swimming.
And Brian Shaw with B ball
This is why I love Strongman as its not purely 1rm strength but how much of that strength can you hold for time. Hooper looks healthy regardless of what it takes to compete at that level. Brian Shaw as well. Eddie is definetly one heck of a human competting with the big boys but all that extra weight gonna hurt.

Great job Hula Hoop!
with thor's behaviour its no wonder he doesnt have many strongman friends
