Loz and Liz running WSM media better than their official media team lmao
For real, these two are treasures
They need to get paid fr 😂
Is there even a WSM media team? 😂
@@gustavhviid4673 they at least have a social media manager who appears to know nothing about strongman and posts cringe "hello fellow kids" type content every day
@@BulkBrogan. that’s just sad😅. They should really have a more professional team considering they are the so called pinnacle of the sport 🫠.
Considering Iceland doesn't even have 400 000 inhabitants it's absolutely insane how many great strongmen they have produced. I would like to see some kind of statistics on that with lets say USA and Iceland compared relative to their populations.
Or perhaps the top 10 countries relative to their approximate populations, pull out the pocket calculator!
It's an island full of big rocks and large people. What else they going to do?
I love how Loz starts to rack his brains to catch Liz out on a stat and she just shoots him down in seconds hahaha You can't beat Auntie Liz when it comes to a WSM fact!!!
Interesting to hear that 2005 and 2016 had the most 'rookie" debuts.
Ondrej being a 2000s baby is mind blowing.
First WSM since 2007 without Brian Shaw? Thought that might be on there
Holy shit you're right. Brian's first group in WSM was in 2008. With emperor of the Stones Arild Haugen, Big Loz, and The Dominator Mariusz Pudzianowski! What a group for his debut year 😂
@@simenandersen3262 and also the only year he didn’t make the final
Blows my mind every time i hear that Iceland has the second most wins with a population of only 377k. Probably the air up there is anabolic
Cold air explains why Hooper is winning so many times now!
@@jtf2dan And yet we Norwegians have produced only one WSM winner and two finalists. Maybe too cold. 🤔
For some reason I’ve got a gut feeling Tom Stoltman gets his 3 WSM title
Then how come he only got 3rd place this year Arnold Classic? Not only that, Mitch also won the UK Arnold two weeks later from Ohio. Tom has nowhere near the same work capacity as Mitch, one of them gets overwhelmed and exhausted all the time(Tom), while Mitch is more machine than man.
Tbf these final events are much better for tom @thomasrosendahl2783
@@thomasrosendahl2783 nice theory. But Zavickas beat Pudzianowski with 13 points at the ASC, but Pudzianowski beat Z with 20 points at the wsm the same year.
I think Hooper will win, but ASC does not tell you anything about how WSM will go
@@thomasrosendahl2783 lol
Idk what the beef with the purple is, I absolutely love both colors. Sweet shade of blue and the purple is solid as well. I really like both.
I like both too 👍🏽
@@BigLozOfficial What size is your purple shirt Loz? Need to order one and we both seem similar in size. 🦾
Liz has always had great stats
Auntie Liz is a beast on stats. A very lovely beast! WSM has definitely less hype this year. Can't wait for the fantastic spreadsheet and updates from Big Loz and Auntie Liz.
What is becoming sad about Worlds is that should be the #1 show by a huge margin, but now it feels like it is #4 in prestige.
True. Partially because we can actually watch the other shows LIVE streaming...
I still haven’t seen last year’s worlds. It’s really hard to watch this comp and I look forward to it every year!
Nothing comes close to it's reach. Not even close. WSM is number 1 by far
@@hlubinavesmirunope, the 4 day show doesn't lend itself to streaming and they make most of their money packaging it for tv.
I get more psyched for the Arnold and the Shaw
AWESOME NEWS ! Great Job dune Lizzy ;-) Are you guys doing the Score Sheet reading thingy again, absolutely loved it !
Love the videos! Thanks for all you two do!
Do you know when they will release the list of groups?
Probably Tuesday evening (uk time). It’ll be once everyone’s arrived and had their medicals, etc.
Thanks for the response. Great video! Looking forward to this year’s contest! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wsm said Tuesday to me
I think at some point during the first event
Probably day of at this rate 😂
Do you think WSM would ever have wild card spots again? I feel like 1st and 2nd should automatically go thru and have 3rd and 4th spot do the stone off for a potential wildcard spot.
That would be cool to see again
I'm with Liz. Team Blue.
Super cool stats!!!
Thank you Auntie Liz! Another great video. We love your stats ❤
Hafthor with 8 podium finishes is pretty amazing also, sometimes the point difference was very very minimal, he could have won a few more titles with abit of luck perhaps.
Gotta love those stacked stats!
The 2019 stone-off/last man standing was absolute horseshit. TWO athletes got screwed: Novikov and Caron. Novikov deserved to be in the final and Caron should have been declared the winner after he lifted the stone ONCE and Kevin Faires couldn't lift it. Instead, for TV, they grabbed the Norwegian guy and had him face Caron, who then had to lift the stone again, using up valuable energy, even though he'd already won...
i remember being so angry at that. Novikov should have had a larger advantage. Maybe like 6 stones over first from Trey to tie in points, then start the battle. Caron was WELL deserved when Kevin failed. can't believe how crazy that is.
franco?
Love the stats!!!❤
Liz, you are the biz! Too good❤👍
5:55 but hugging is better when you’re all sticky
The pink/purple top looks awesome on you Loz! Blue also looks good on you Liz. Keep up the hype work on behalf of WSM, we're all getting excited now 🎉
WDYM LIZ? That purple-ish colour is brilliant!
When are you guys going to post your group predictions? I’m looking forward to that.
Hope you guys do a loz and liz approved groups video!
Nice bideo
3:03 crazy
So many injuries 😢
Another interesting fact. Last time there was no Icelander was 2004
Tom Stoltman has the most WSM podiums among active strongman.
Tom is not the future, Tom is the present. Let's appreciate him while he's still adding to his legacy!
Will it be livestreamed this year?
Nope. They still can't figure it out.
Really like the purple t shirt this year 👌🏻
Really not excited about how busy my work week is going to be next week. I'll do my best to have you guys on in the background whenever I can manage.
One of the few channels I automatically click on when I see a new upload. Great as always guys, thank you.
i love you guys❤❤❤
COME ON TOM !
I like the purple shirt, makes the words pop.
good work liz .... nice you were there loz ...what did you do? lol just kidding
Anywhere we can watch live in the U.S. Every single year its a struggle to find it live i think its the only strongman event were the U.S. does not have a platform to watch it live every other contest is pay per view or the very next day on youtube.
That's not unique to USA only way to watch live is to be there in person
Anyone know what the prize money is for the podium?
5:17 what about Burkina Faso (Iron Biby)?
Biby has never competed at WSM!
@@BigLozOfficial I thought he had done, must have imagined it, thanks!
He was invited last year but pulled out cos he always does
You said only 2 have been on the podium before Mitch and Tom, was Luke not on the podium too? Keep on with the ace content 😁
No, Luke's best result at World's so far is 7th place, but we can definitely see that improving this year!
@@BigLozOfficial I stand corrected, I would love to see Luke podium this year, feel like what I see on RUclips is a man hitting some form 👍
Tommy Facts Liz Statz
I like power stairs as a last event as well
Saw an interesting question earlier, who wins in head to head victories between Mariusz and Z?
A stat I don't recall seeing is number of WSM comps with the number of WSM title winners competing.
Conan's Wheel in the final for the first time in 23 years.. I'm not saying they want Hooper to win, but I think they want Hooper to win 😂
That purple rocks hard.
Is there any way to watch WSM 2024 live on Tv or on Laptop?
No
@@perrin38 I am disappointed man because Arnold strong man classic was free live-streamed on RUclips,and for WSM2024 i was even willing to purchase PPV.Bud sadly they don’t have anything like that..
Ready for the spreadsheet party
Theoretically Martins līcis was Latvian up to 2023 .... Don't really get how was he competing on American side
So great seeing new blood come into WSM. Older retirees and injured athletes arent as fun to watch. And the pedigree the WSM brings to the table....with previous winners like Kazmaier, jon pall sigmarsson, Magnus ver magnusson, Jouko ahola, Marius Pudzianowski, zadrunas savickas, Brain Shaw, Eddie Hall, Thor bjornsson, martins licis, alexi novikoff, tom stoltman and Mitch Hooper. ONLY THE BEST will attempt it....and only the best in the world wins!
3:27 *grumpy rauno noises*
2019 Rob Kearney lost to Luke Stoltman in the last man standing event which was Atlas stone over yoke. Luke won 8 - 7 from 3rd place to qualify for finals.
For the African countries represented at WSM, hasn’t burkina faso been represented by Iron Biby or has he never been to WSM?
He's been but never competed he always pulls out before they start
It really is a new era in strongman when Luke and Adam are the old breed in the contest.
looking gret in purple!!
So Tom could have 5 podiums in 7 comps. Crazy
WSM just a two man comp - Hooper and Tom. Obviously there are more but only two with legit odds to win it.
I’d be rocking the T-shirt colors, even if they were neon pink and green, if I ever got an invite to WSM. But then again, I’m slow, clumsy, small, & weak so I guess I’ll just stick to being a fan. 😩
I was just looking at thors competetion stats his 4th place at the Arnold’s this year is his worst ever finish on a competition apart from his 6th place at his first wsm. he’s been on the podium at every other event he’s ever competed at. and this is when big z and brian were at their prime thats insane if thats up to date
I can't recall, has there ever been an athlete at WSM who represented Belgium?
2009 Jimmy Laureys
@@BigLozOfficialThank you for the info, Big Loz and Auntie Liz!
I like loz shirt too! Haha
They could probably have power stairs off instead of stone off
Very in favor of not ending with Atlas stones. It's in too many competitions.
Liz wants guys on top. That is the most important thing we learned. Lets put that on a t shirt or something, sure she would love that. Also i refuse to believe that anyone has been born past the year 2000. So Andrej cant be 22, hes 23 at minimum.
love u 2
America with 12 wins is skewed from the early days, before international competition.
I'd be interested to know if any athlete has done the stone off and then gone on to win? I would bet not.
Tom?
Tom should have had 3 in a row , a really shifty Hercules Hold , or he walks away with the title in place of Novakov
It’d be interesting to see how the final standings throughout the WSM history would be different if someone didn’t sh!t an event. Brian Shaw would have won in 2010 if he placed the sandbag correctly in the first finals event & he probably would have won in 2021 if he didn’t have such a bad result in the train push.
Poundstone would've won 2008 if he didn't bottle the last stone. Thor would've won 2014 if he wore a damn squat suit and 2016 if he didn't waste so much energy with the lighter kettlebells(would've tied for points and taken the win on the stones).
@@tcgtplby todays rules he would’ve won, that comp was the reason WSM shifted from winning on countback to the current final event rules. Brian won the stones to end it but Z won more events overall
Tom looks like he have been hit by a train, while Mitch seems largely unaffected by the intense wsm preparation. Tom can win if he does not waste to much energy on the qualifying rounds, and dont make early mistakes in the final. Otherwise Mitch will easily win, no doubt about it.
@thomasrosendahl2783 I hope they don't allow the split jerk in the overhead , it's a BS move that doesn't belong in Strongman , it's a worse move than double hitching the viking press?? He seems to skate the rules like getting his head through at times, if they don't call hom out it isn't his fault I suppose
Love some stats and facts!
Number one fact for me is that it doesn't stream live. Because of this I could really care less about the show. Come on Wsm get with the times
Agree! We consume content differently, and have for awhile.
Said it a few weeks back big tom for the win mitch a close second say a few prayers he slips lol and big luke stoltman 3rd its going to happen give me as much stick as you want but its happening. Loz have a word in mitch ear take to take it easy 😂
03:25 😂
I was 12 when the first worlds strongest man was introduced! 😬
Amazing to think that 7 of the USA wins are just from Kaz and Brian.
"Isn't that an interesting stat" lol
😊
Is this the worst WSM in the last 10+years?
Was 1997 the worst WSM of the last 10+ years when the final featured none of the top Strongmen who had dominated the competition and the sport throughout the 90's? No Magnus Ver Magnusson, Rikku Kiri, Gerrit Badenhorst, Gary Taylor or Manfred Hoeberl. You ended up with a solid fight to the finish between Jouko Ahola and Flemming Rasmussen, not to mention a competition stand in appearance by none other than a very young Colin Bryce.
Give it a shot and you might be surprised.
@@PhillipCalvin627 nice knowledge! Im not a hardcore or a historian so never heard of it. Anything can happen in this comp also, I guess.
That stone off is so rediculous
Watch party's? I hope so
Wow only 2 podium competitors! This has got to be the weakest lineup in wsm history!
!!!!
Does WSM compensate you guys whatsoever?!
Is WSM paying you for these videos?
We will see two scots on that podium this year 🌶️🏴🔥💪🏻 we hope 😅
.
👣🪜🫂
Liz really thinks mitch is gonna win whit her flags in order mitch Tom and even I'm guessing
Tbf mitch has won 4/5 of the last major shows in a row. He is clearly the favourite. That doesn't mean Tom can't win though, as the events are excellent for him in the final
Tom and Luke Stoltman have similar tops to you guys 😊
Oh God…..singleton 🙄. I’ll make sure the tv is muted
WSM should pay you guys to do this. Seriously, the only.interesting thing remaining from outdated WSM is this channel. Arnolds, Shaw, Rogues all have surpassed WSM.
WSM is dying
A week away from a comp i cant even watch lol
What a joke
