Holy shit that Kieliszkowski Thor carry battle was beautiful
Having just seen the Eddie/Thor fight, the change Thor went through from WSM to boxer is unreal.
oh wait, the fight has been already? I didnt want to watch it live because I was nervous for Eddie hall (he was too obsessed about it...) but i thought i would find out the result because i follow several strongman channels, however apparently it was days ago and i still didnt know :D oops
@@vanessaruiz4705 Thor smoked the fatboy
Great genetics plus a ton of steroids will do wonderful things
@@FirstTimeHigh-cz2ro me when it takes a lot of dedication and unreal hard work to go from powerlifter/Strongman to an actual Boxer. Also the other guy he fought also had fantastic genetics and on steroids so this point doesn't even work
@@hiimclueless6373 what does that have to do with his statement? That Eddie is also a beast? The comment was on the transition from powerlifting to boxer. You think either of these guys would stand a chance against a professional boxer? They transitioned their physiques with the help of lots of anabolics.
Nice of them to show Thor's win on the day after Thor's win!
The Double Winner! 💪🏻💪🏻
A climatic win for Thor both then and now. Salute to the Man's character development
Only wins
After all the double dips and him truly losing I think it was nice of them
It was an absolute honor to host the World Strongest Man finals in our country. Mabuhay from the Philippines
Thanks for sharing this @The World's Strongest Man.
Like many people, I've only become seriously interested in this endeavor relatively recently.
Allowing us access to properly enjoy the history of the competition is fantastic, and much appreciated.
Highly recommending you to watch everything since '77. 👍🏻 You will love them. 🙂
Absolutely! Go back and watch some of the 80s and 90s to really understand how far the sport has come. It has always been a really TOUGH competition!
HHHHHmjHHHHH
HHHHHmjHHHHH
Did you even watch this? The editing is horrendous
Thanks for uploading this, great entertainment!
Thank you for making this. Especially the ending story.
Fantastic!
This is the most Dominant single year in the history of Strength in my opinion. Thor won Iceland's Strongest Man, Europe's Strongest Man, World's Strongest Man, World's Ultimate Strongman and the Arnold Strongman Classic! I don't think we shall ever see such a dominant calendar year ever again!
yes and it quite likely almost cost him his life imagine the things he had to do to finally win this contest and look at him now he is more than 100 pounds lighter and looks much healthier
Brian Shaw dominated every strength competition including WSM and ASC in 2011.
@@lonzo1110 Name 5 International titles Brian won (including WSM & ASC) in a single calender year and you can claim the Distinction. Until you do so, my Initial comment prevails.
@bronchoped1 Name 5 International titles Zydrunus won (including WSM & ASC) in a single calender year and you can claim the Distinction. Until you do so, my Initial comment prevails.
@@CarmaineCotham You have to do everything to be the Number 1 in the world mate. Don't forget it paid well. 2018/19/20 Thor is the Strongest Man who ever walked the Earth. 🙂
Oberst always talks like he' got a choke hold on overhead pressing, but on every implement but log he comes mid-pack.
I'd say he's average at log now too.
He ain't elite in log press as well
@@philipquist771 not anymore. But he had a couple of years with the American log record.
OB’s essentially a personality/marketing boost. Obviously by overall human standards he’s one of the strongest men walking the planet. But in terms of the pros, he’s second strong at best.
You know the saying. The most talkative in the room is either the weakest or the useless and that's him for so many years.
4 more years till we get 2021
Right? What a joke.
God bless Brian Shaw. I hope he wins a 5th some day. 2018 was Halfthor's year.
He will never make a podium ever again, let alone winning the title.
Sad to say He won't be able to grab that 5th title. He's past his prime and whenever he fails at some events, his emotions get too much on his mental game and it badly affects his perfomance on the following events. Same to Big Z, I Love Big Z but He's already 47 and He's been in many injuries aswell. Your mind may still play the game but as you grow older your body starts to slow down.
same. you see him throw that 275lbs anchor in his arms? He is in the top 3 strongest men to have ever lived.
@@anaclaudiagarciacalderon192never say never. He has been training to be more flexible with movement and endurance. I for one don’t count any of these guys out.
Glad to see Hafthor finally win it all! Viking Power! Legendary!
I like if Caron he did not start his career very well
@@MaxOoz-do2rx JF Caron is one of the strongest men to ever live. He is a legend. His prime years were spent competing against monsters (Big Z, Shaw, Thor, Hall, etc.)
21:12 first time I've seen Brian Shaw pissed off
*FULL* - must mean we cut out half the footage but say full so it's full version, WSM is a joke when it comes to broadcasting anything.
Thor was at his best for sure but damn Mateusz is a fucking beast !!!!
When he returns from injury he will win WSM more than once! I hope
Diz is da very nice and exiteng history all over the world.
Imagine if Kieliszkowski got his deadlift up...
The level of the deadlift is just super high and that movement isn't advantageous for his frame so it might be hard to reach that absolute top level no matter what. I might be wrong though which I'm hoping for because I'm rooting for the guy to make a strong comeback.
Good stuff, but for those who haven't seen it, the English / British version of this WSM is FAR superior to this one due to 1) Commentary by Colin Bryce and Danny Wallace, who have great chemistry, humor and personalities, esp. compared to the dry and impersonal commentary by the 2 Americans in this version and 2) The Max Overhead Press event, which was shown in a lot more detail and was awesome to see, esp. when Thor does his winning lift.
The British versions of the WSMs are just generally more well produced and have much better commentary IMO. Miss Paul Dickinson as of late, but Colin Bryce and Danny Wallace have been doing a GREAT job over the last few years. So happy for Thor that he won this show and for winning against Eddie in the boxing match on Sunday. Eddie was great during his WSM days, but had become insufferably annoying and a bully who needed to eat humble pie, which Thor served him perfectly. Thor has matured into a class act and a very likeable guy over the last 2-3 years. Hope Eddie stops being an immature attention whore and gets back to being a respectable guy like he used to be.
It's unwatchable isn't it.
Thank god that Loz has now joined the Rogue team for Arnolds. I found that a challenge to sit through also.
It seems like Eddie and Halfthor have done a role reversal since 2017. Halfthor handled his placement in the 2017 WSM finals extremely shamefully. Just to have Eddie turn around and handle the prefight buildup just as shamefully!
@@kingofscots agreed, it would've improved 100% if it was Loz and Colin Bryce doing the commentary. And while we are at it, as much as I respect Kaz for his Strongman accomplishments, he sucks at being an announcer at the shows.
@@frankcastle1216 yes, I can forgive Thor's actions at the 2017 WSM, cause emotions run high during the heat of the contest and you can't expect the athletes to all be level-headed and calm. But Eddie has no excuse for his recent behavior. I also thought that the stunt he tried to pull against Thor using charity as a weapon was in very poor taste.
@@ariesprime6060 to be fair I have my moments when I like Kaz's cheesiness...then at other points in the show I'm like c'mon man give it a rest.
Would be nice to show events then 80% of talking and just highlights of the event. Check early years show a lot more wonder why views are going down over the years? Cause you DONT show events enough
Eddie still have to tattoo Thor"s name on his arse
"Thor's thunder-clapper"
Kudos to Big Z. My favorite WSM competitor💪he's 42 in that year, yet it was his 14th WSM final appearance. Most so far, correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, Zydrunas has made 14 appearances (1998, 2000, 2002-2018). However Brian Shaw is gonna make his 15th at the 2022 WSM (2008-2022). But yes Zydrunas had the most in 2018.
Most WSM appearances: 17, Mark Felix. Both Terry and Brian are at 15 (Tomorrow Brian makes it 16). Then it's Zydrunus with 14, Magnus Samuelsson 13 and both JF and Loz at 11.
Most WSM 'finals' appearances: 13, Brian Shaw. Next Zydrunus with 12, Magnus Samuelsson 10 and Thor, Pudzian, Terry, JF all with 9.
🙂
@@Nirsterkur Brian Shaw made 15 appearances not 16.
@@zf621 Yes, sad to see him struggling with weights. In his prime he could lift weight so easy, but age really does matter when it comes to this thing. But, Big Z still competes and winning strongman competition, outside World Strongest Man. He's really the 21st century Strongest Man in the World regardless of his career threatening injuries.
@@ImnotYu Wish Zydrunas still competed in strongman against Mariusz. His rival in 2002-2004 was amazing in my opinion. I feel like he could have won once in 2005-2008.
Thor has been on podium multiple times, he definitely deserve world's most strongest man title. I think Thor is a humble guy and incredible athlete, even if he's wrong about 2017. Eddie was not cheating and he was clear winner.
I think Halfthor has actually learned some humility. Clearly after 2017 he seriously needed to! The way he handled that was absolutely shameful. Ironically Eddie turned around and handled the prefight buildup extremely shamefully. Halfthor actually did a really good job during their boxing match.
@@frankcastle1216 yeah, I’m hoping Eddie can use this loss to further his own character development and they can both learn to be better men
@@joebot9309 yeah roger that, bot.
Eddie had favorable events in 2017
I like jf carron he improved through his career
Thor's frame carry has always been a weakness, he drops it at least once per event.
Wow! Only 4 years late! WSM is really stepping it up!
What a joke.
Yeah this is extremely sick….
But now we’re all going to watch da box fight Eddie Vs Thor
Thor DESOLATED & DECIMATED Eddie! 🥊
@@Nirsterkur exactly
@@Nirsterkur desolated and decimated? Really! I mean Halfthor did get dropped a couple times too. Halfthor did a great job using boxing fundamentals to win, but he didn't just completely decimate Eddie. Eddie did that to himself in the way he handled the buildup before the fight. The exact same shameful way that Halfthor handled his discrepancies with the 2017 WSM results.
@@frankcastle1216 What are you talking about mate; who cares? 2022 is now officially the "Eddie getting a taste of his OWN MEDICINE" year. 😂
@@frankcastle1216 Complaining after the revised ruling for the viking press was in bad taste but the event edit complaint was legit and others said it too.
Also Thor slipped once and bounced on the ropes once but in the boxing world we wouldn't call it dropping an opponent.
Thor lost his temper on twitter but he hasn't lied or promoted doctored videos or tried to instigate a fight while his son was in the middle (if he wanted to set off Thor at the pre fight conference, that's fine but no good father would do it while his son was between them).
I was there last 2018
My fav is always Robert Oburst. Just a cool dude
I am not a fan of Thor but on that day he just DOMINATED !
I think eddie hall in 2017 dominated better than thor in 2018 .
The loading race between Thor and Mateusz was nail-biting
No
😊
Is miss Caron he was awesome
Well deserved hafthor the mountain of a strongest man on earth
I hate that they cut out the shoulder press
Yewh, what the hell was that about?!
Mateusz is the spit and image of Mariusz its eerie. He looks like his long lost son.
I really hate when they have this super heavy frame carry at the beginning of the final. It just rips people's hands up and screws their performance for the rest of the competition. Kind of a terrible event under any circumstances but definitely not something you should put at the front end.
If anything the Arnold does it right. Very short distance, but uphill. Don't make them hold it so long. Make it more of a back and leg event than just pure grip torture.
Yo pienso que un strongman podría hacer películas como las que hacía bud Spencer
This really makes me miss Belsak :(
I think they might have pushed the heaviness of the sport too far and almost made it impossible for guys to have long careers.
Back in the 90s and 00s, strongmen could partake in so many more competitions in a year.
I think Belsak is a perfect example of a victim of the insane weights. Hope he can make a full comeback and compete in 2023 WSM despite the hip replacement.
@@OriginalMindTrick It is world's strongest man, by definition you have to push it to find the true strongest man as opposed to worlds most durable man.
It's unfortunate but it's the nature of most things, you cannot operate near 100% for very long.
Supposedly he's had surgeries to fix his long running issues and is starting to make his way back into the sport. So with any luck he'll start popping up again.
Thorrrrr
Thor was just... no words.
mateusz really gotta improve his dl, ez win
Is it just me or is it a terrible idea to start the competition off with an event that tears your hands to shreds.
jf caron power profile talk! 😆🤣💪
i need to ask, is the frame challenge and the atlas stones challenge not wrong?, so the frame challenge, is all of the frames the same in size/dimensions? or is it tailored to the size of the contender? cause a taller man will have an advantage over a shorter man, same for the atlas stones, if you are taller by lets say a foot, you dont need to lift it as high as a shorter person, right? if those pedestals are all the same size, a shorter person needs to lift that ball much higher than a taller person, just curious how this was setup, the jeep challenge is another thing aswell, is it the same thing to lift it 1 foot of the ground than to lift it 3 or 4 foot?
No they are the same objects etc for everyone.
Tall people have disadvantages in presses, deadlifts and squats while short people have disadvantages in platforms etc. Even when Thor got to the deadlift you will notice the commentators say that he shouldn't be good at it because of his height.
If you tailor events to people then your not finding the strongest person, you are trying to create equality of outcome.
The end conclusion of equalising everything would make it comp of will power. Peoples differences is what creates their strength differences.
They really need to allow gloves in the frame carry to avoid tearing up the hands of the competitors, especially in the first event.
Why weren't the other 6 competitors shown for dead lift? Title literally says "*FULL*"
It'd be nice to see every athlete compete in every event and not just half or a few of them and the results of the others. How can you call it the full event when it clearly isn't?
Eeveryone looked injured in this WSM lol.
Top 5 strongman ever not in any order
Kaz
Puz
Big z
Shaw
Thor
Didn't know that those strongman has been here in the Philippines before. That's awesome
Kya nga e, nagkaroon pala neto sa pinas
How tf did i not know WSM was held here in my country
Comparing these atlas stones with what Tom Stoltman is doing nowadays is just ridiculous
8:40 what is going on with this man's traps lol
Brian's last deadlift rep shouldn't have been allowed, he wasn't locked out, knees bent, wobbling...
I wish Eddie competed and defended his WSM title.
He couldn't. He was pushing his body past its limits to compete the way he did. He nearly killed himself pulling that 500kg deadlift. If he had continued to try to compete at the highest level he'd probably be dead. This sport is hard on people.
Much more entertaining than crossfit
Talk about the humbleness that Brian Shaw has..... the complete opposite of 'the mountain'. Brian Shaw is an inspiration for me........
I like how everyone glances over the fact Eddie presented him the trophy, is that a tradition that last years winner does that or something? pretty funny
Eddie was doing the expert opinion segments before and after events for the cameras.
It was a funny and kind of risky decision though.
Why why do they have the frame carry first? They know it's going to tear up their hands.
Wonder how much better all these guys would do if they allowed them to wear gloves to protect their hands
They spoiled all these by putting the winner the the thumbnail! A lot of people are watching it because they've never seen it, or hadn't seen in a long time, can't remember who won, and want to re-experience it.
The podium is Shaw's home.
Being short is such a huge advantage. Taller person has to be twice as good.
41:31 well if the WSM 2018 title wasn't settled before it is now
Eddie would’ve won if he didn’t retire
If this then that.
Probably not, Thor would have gotten the advantage with the loading race.
If your mom had a penis she'd be your dad.
@@bigclen5206 I see that a penis is the only thing on your mind
@@stay4theride Your mom is the only thing on my mind she better have my sammich ready
Hence he only won once
Is there wasn’t a deadlift event
Matusz would have beat hafthor😢
when those men get my age they will pay the price
It's a fuckin trap show in the interviews 😂
2:44 I feel for that woman😰
Shaw didnt get that last rep in the deadlift.
Yes he did. Are you blind 🧐? 🤣
Brent Stover? Really?…😂 Shouldn’t the announcers LOOK like they actually lift weights at least once in their lives? 😅
Look this last event Thor have 2sec better time but this shutby 0.5sec WTF???
Я требую русские субтитры!
2 years later Kieliszkowski still lost to Hafthor at the Arnold Strongman Classic because of his poor deadlift. All he needed here was to come in top 3 in the deadlift event and he could've taken the trophy for Poland at 24. At ASC too, all he needed was to come in the top 5 to win and lost there as well.
Man really needs to improve his deadlift. At strongman level, his deadlift is really poor, especially given how amazing he's at dynamic events.
That’s only somewhat true. The events he beat Thor on, he only won by microscopic margins(Trial by Stone) or because Thor just let him(Cyr Max Dumbbell). Thor was banking on Mateuzs placing below top 5 on the deadlift and saved his energy.
to be fair, mateusz's deadlift has improved significantly in the last few years, we just havent had many chances to see it cause the guy is clearly afflicted with some ancient polish folklore curse. dude needs a witcher
It's not easy to have almost no weaknesses. In my opinion, Thor, Shaw and Z are the only 3 guys in this elite league. And even out of the 3, Thor comes superior in my calculations. (Please note I'm always comparing Prime v. Prime for a fair comparison).
Every other Strongman in entire history had/ have one or more MAJOR weakness/es.
@bronchoped1 Lol, Thor went to Play with the Stones in the trial by Stone, boy wasn't even trying, Bag over bar, Thor has thrown heavier weights in the ASC, Deadlift? LOL, Thor went easy on the wheel of pain knowing one year before almost cost him the title, tbf Mateusz was a beast on the frame, no shadow of a doubt, dumbell? Thor had to bank 284, he did, went for a easy 300, then failed 330 but almost got it, Mateusz had yo went bear Mode in every event on the Classic to get Second place, Thor went to Play with the toys
@@antoniocenteno1483 I can remember the 330 Dumbbell of Thor, it was so close! He almost had it.
Tom Stoltman so much stronger.
Y is LBS call .... pound 😀😀😀???
Should be called light balls n small 😀😀
Funny how they didn't show Thor having a tantrum about Shaw's 12th rep on the deadlift.
Thor/coach questioned it which is perfectly fine and the commentators did as well (full stream).
Nobody likes having their lift questioned but ironically Brian Shaw just put out a video saying he thinks they need stricker refereeing.
Regardless of the outcome it's important that people contest lifts that are questionable. It keeps the referee body transparent.
When Thor contested his viking press reps in 2017 it cleared the air. Instead of having a million casuals saying he should have got the reps, we got a definitive ruling after the fact.
Definitive ruling plus contestants been allowed to request them legitimises the sport.
@@MrSnakekaplan There are ways to raise queries without having a tantrum/getting your groupies to do it for you.
As for clarity, he still claims that Viking Press was fixed by Colin Bryce.
If you're talking about the UK commentary, it isn't done live. Hence Colin Bryce can magically referee and commentate.
On the broader point, officiating is becoming an increasing problem as its not improving with the rest of the sport. Brian was bang on.
Questioning the judges when someone gets a rep literally on the whistle to tie you for your lead in an event is not "throwing a tantrum."
@@elliottengstrand5988 he did have a tantrum though. Were you there?
Maybe a little known fact "Hafthor and his coach tried to get the refs to cancel Brian last deadlift rep" because they were willing to do everything to win
Can we start a petition that they stop glossing over the over head press!!
Kelsey is such a beautiful woman.
Дай боже
Poor JF got 0 sec of TV time
In the USA edition yeah. UK version totally different.
Another rubbish edit. Just show the events, ffs. Every lift.
They said Brian lifted 441 in the overhead press, but the standings show him only doing 419? Im confused
The coverage of that event was a joke! Just basically skipped the best event
The British presented version is far better. What was all that nonsense starting about 19:10, they pretty much skipped the axle lift.
Prime Mariuzs would’ve destroyed them all
Unlikely. If you look at his best lifts he would barely be competitive in some events now. The sport has grown massively since he competed.
Nah he didn’t win, Eddie did…
Yikes. American commentators are soooo awful.
@Thor Odinson Really? watch British commentators, infinately better.
Instead of showing the event, show an interview of the event. Great.
Dislike button.
The World's Stronge-----shit....
2018 Thor may very well have been the strongest man to ever walk the face of the earth 😳😳😳😳😳😅. Holy shit !!!!
why are there no competetors from Russia
Mikhail Shivlyakov
He only won because Eddie wasn’t there
He ONLY WON cos the real winner had injuries😂
the best wasn`t on the games. eddie the strongest man in da world
The same sponsors the same referees as 2017 thor cheated to win
How did he cheat? Not familiar with thor Eddie stuff
@@obi-wankenobi5926 because the referees help him win lol
@@anthonyclark1687 Really is that why when he was pulling the bus his time was well under 36:05 it was in the 35:70 when the bumper went across the line, 35:80 it was well over the line so he had 1st in that event as well. 27:10 go in 0.25 playback speed and you'll see he had 1st in that event. So yeah the refs where really helping him out so much. Dipsh!t
Russia is a great strongman nation
The polish guy is such a beast but always falls short
Mateusz will never win until he rounds his game out and gets static strength. It took Eddie so long to win because he wasn't well rounded either, he needed a comp that had a focus on static strength.
