Eddie was definitely hydrated here
😂😂😂😂😂
2:55 Eddie goes back to hydrating🤣🤣
He himself said he was definitely hydrated 😁
It's because he didn't go to the states
Chris Stanley haha
To be honest even If Thor's last rep had counted Eddie would've been able to do sixteen.
17+ if needed
Aurel Matthews
That didn’t stop hafthor from complaining and protesting after Eddie did 15.
We don’t know that for sure
In a You we do Eddie is a beast on this
In a You nobody could have beat Eddie in static power at that point not even a prime big z
Isnt it awesome how when one strongman finishes he starts helping the other competitor by shouting and encouraging him.
@@fl4k_40 brian, oberst and nick are the nicest
Thor and eddie are arrogant (i like em tho)
Thor never does that
That's classic Nick, even though all the competitors that year will tell you Thor was a diva the entire event Nick still roots him on.
@Hermit Crabbe jeez ofc i know eddie is a nice person, he admits he's an asshole for fun and insult to show love (typical brit) and that's why he's funny and all
@@NickwBush Thor is a diva and an a hole
Worlds strongest man needs to get their shit together as a company. Finally releasing the videos from 2 years ago it a bit outrageous. It’s 2019 we already know who won just go ahead and release the videos.
They only show one’s from years past (at eleven o clock at night on a Sunday) on like CBSSports network...yeah, I don’t get that channel either. 🙄
You're right. In England it use to be on channel 5 every year near Christmas.
@@giuseppe397 It still is bud.
@@ianleishman6774 is it? I through the they moved it to 5 star or spike.
@@giuseppe397 It was on from boxing day, with the final on new year's day.Watch it every year with my oldest. Kind of becoming a Christmas tradition, like it was when I was a kid.
15 reps takes some serious hydration
He definitely had his cranberry juice that day.
ahahhahahahh
Felt bad for Thor but rules are rules, and let's face it Eddie could have done 20 reps if he had to.
I would feel bad if he didn't cry like a baby after celebrating and then Eddie coming and smacking him out the park.
@Schwanzus Longus
Big Z?
Yup big z still got the log record
I was going to theres a glimps of thor in him. I know these modern. Day strongmen dont think much about the bench press but its still an overall upper body movement i also think some of tgese guys are holding themselves back to much by only doing 500lbs. Some college football ball players can handle that much.
@Evan Kochbecause he lifted more weight. It's quite simple really. Height has fuck all to do with it.
0:50 that American deserves credit, true sports man, he knew he was done and saw his competitor struggling and have him the boost/ encouragement to try do his best.
They all do it for each other lol
Most of them are all friends
They always do that, a-l-w-a-y-s. AlWaYs
One of the oldest ones there too, 51 years old I think
It takes a good sportsman to encourage Thor even though he's such an unlikeable person.
No one ever acknowledges how old nick is but he is still crazy good. Like wtf
2:56 rare footage of Eddie hydrating
This is embarrassing for Thor, he can’t claim this cost him WSM as Eddie still had loads left in the tank. The better man won on the day.
whittyjd actually the real event that fucked Thor over was the tire flip which was originally meant to be the tire flip and drag. Hall placed 5th in the tyre flip and would’ve placed lower if the drag was included as hall is only good at static lifting.
@@roughgooch7859 How is that Eddie's fault? That sounds like an excuse.
Roughgooch also changed atlas stone height
He didn’t have loads left. Lol are you kidding.
@@stighaaland5357 his 15th rep was easier than thors 1st lmao
Happy to finally see this. It's completely obvious that no matter how many Thor did, Eddie would have done more. Eddie wins.
Yup. No controversy.
The BEAST!
Spot on. If pushed to it, there couldve been 17/18 maybe. Just sick speed/technique with obvious strength
Im not sure Thor locked out a single rep
Exactly, by the way, at that time (and maybe even now), Eddie Hall was/is a bit stronger than Thor in shoulder press (this Viking press is similar, despite they use legs, but same as log lift...), so if Eddie Hall has a higher maximum, it's obvious it can do more reps at a lower weight (if in shape with full power & no injury which could lower the performance) , that's physics.
"Nick Best doing his best"
Okay
it just went over my head when he said it but now that i think about it.. bruh! xD
You leave that old man alone! He was 48 at the time of this comp. It's just amazing he was in the final
bruh the dudes 50 years old
Have to give probs to Nick, dude is old as hell but still a beast
Just read this comment and just that line 😂
Eddie has the strongest arms ever. Hardly uses his legs to press
I think zervickas. Probably spelled wrong was one of the first guys to come with this larger belly type from the mid 90's
..... This is a shoulder press 🤷♂️ you tried lol
Tom Bean Yh big z has multiple records but Eddie dominates that shoulder press everyday over him
Not the strongest arms. The strongest shoulders
xXAlmdudlerXx I’d put him up there with arms aswell because a lot of the events they do is a combination of everything
Thor was an absolute bellend at this. Eddie won fair and square and would have outrepped regardless.
I’m no expert, but if that last one was double dipping then almost all of his reps were. Eddie def deserved the win at this event.
Apparently Magnusson who is one the refs said he would have docked off for of his reps
Yes. There were several reps that were objectionable.
Can someone explain what double dipping is so i know what i'm looking for here?
@@jackhawthorn4799 double dipping is the bending of the knees to push the weight higher. I find it kinda ironic seen as though they were all bending their knees... also look at Licis, the guys knees were as bent as my dad and still counted.
@@jackhawthorn4799 You can watch the "Exposed! Cheating sandal at worlds strongest man " They explained it clearly what is double dipping and it is cheating.
15 reps. It's absolutelly insane. Eddie " The beast " Hall is a machine.
he aint called THE BEAST for fuckall
Most people call themselves the beast for fuckall but this one IS THE BEAST
WyvernsFlame Surrrisly.
You sound like you left school at 14
Akaakaaka ak good guess
Akaakaaka ak you sound like you transferred schools because you were bullied at 14
whos here from the beef?
🙋♂
0:43 I love when rivals support eachother. It transcends competition
2:56
Just look at the size of arm compared to 0,5l water bottle. That's how strong eddie is
Hafthor only did 11 reps there were more than one bad one. He double dipped a few times
I don't know the first thing about this stuff, but Nick Best and the fact that he's rooting for his opponent once he's done is why I like watching strongmen competitions since RUclips randomly put them in my home page.
Eddie could've easily done more. I don't see the controversy
It must be weird seeing Eddie out of the corner of your eye burning through reps. Martins was doing pretty well. He should have taken a longer rest.
Martins looks so tiny here. He put on a lot of size in 2 years.
@Anonymous Anonymous god I hate when he says he has that 😂 milking that for all it's worth
@Anonymous Anonymous He's English. He doesn't have any viking genes, lmao!
@@TheStraightestWhitest I have no idea about Eddie's genes but you really don't know your history of England.
Vikings were present in England for 3 centuries, at various point much of England was Viking territory (Danelaw and during Cnuts reign), four Kings of England were Viking (Sweyn Forkbeard, Cnut the Great, Harald Harefoot and Harthacnut).
I'm not saying it makes up a large part of the English gene-pool but there is certainly Viking DNA in England.

@@novicelifts5197 dude he was a monster at like 14 lmao what you talking about
這他Niveksemaj he was literally 16 stone (224 pounds) when he was 16. Search up a picture of 16 year old Eddie Hall and look at the first picture he was huge
Insane how Thor doesn’t look back at this and just realise he’s wrong
Eddie and Brain my favorite strongman competitors
Even now Eddies kicking ass, and he's retired. Won't surprise me when he sets the bench press record
He's not going for it anymore. Julian Maddox is going for 800 so Eddie stopped.
Top Doge can eddie hall beat maddox if he didnt retire?
@Top Doge agreed. Maddox beat his own record and is doing 800 in june.
Maddox is The Beast in the bench press.
I reckon even now, if Eddie wanted to and if he trained for it, he could get the log press world record.
maybe after the bench WR xD
@@krusty6649 True that.
Schwanzus Longus age doesn't matter as much in strongman.I don't say it doesn't but if he starting competing again I think he could win wsm again.
Joe Sheppard idk I’ve never seen anyone with the shoulder/overhead press strength of Zydrunas. Shit was crazy watching him. He didn’t give a damn, and he’d go for world records IN THE MIDDLE of a strongman final. Crazy shit
Eddie is past his prime mostly because he has lost like 30kg. Weight moves weight even if it's fat.
Great call from Colin. Thor dips the knees on the initial lift, locks and then dips again for the lockout
What about Martins' reps then? Weren't those all double dipping reps? They were all allowed
i would have given that last rep to thor, but even then i'm sure eddie could've done 16.
looked like a legit rep to me
Xol • It's hard to see what the issue was. He was penalized for something called "double dipping." Apparently he "double dipped his knees." I have no idea what that means. He certainly struggled, but the lift looked fine to me. As for Eddie, he would have pushed out that 16th rep no matter what. Eddie won that event fairly and squarely.
@@Steven-ze2zk you have no idea what it means. Please tell us how he should have scored. I remember watching this when it happened thor is literally cheating. at least 3 of his reps were extremely suspect.
@@warbastard01 Are you accusing me of not knowing what double dipping is? As if it's a crime to not know that? I could guess that it means he dipped into his knees near the top of the lift in order to press the weight. Did I see him do that? Well, on the last lift he certainly struggled near the top. He stopped, slightly leaned forward on his knees and pressed. To me, it looked borderline but I think I would have given him the lift. Would it have changed the outcome of the contest? No. I don't believe it would have. All of this was a complete non event while it was occurring and rightly so. Nothing controversial about the event whatsoever. Thor acted like a childish diva.
Xol • last rep looked fine but his 12th rep definitely shouldn’t have counted. I think the ref said no rep on the last to make up for not calling him on one earlier even after warnings.
160kg or 350lbs weight! Not sure why it's not on description had to Google it
I like Thor as an athlete and as a good family guy now that you see him more on RUclips etc but there was a time, around 2017-18 that he had a reputation for unsportsmanlike behaviour. I seem to remember this Viking press against Eddie and also a deadlift event against Brian Shaw. The reality was that he lacked the static strength to compete with Shaw, Hall and Zavickas for about 5 years or so in the mid 2010's. Now, he is dominant though and he deserves all the accolades that he has earned.
I agree, the bad blood between him and Eddie started here, and it's hard to say it's anyone's fault besides Thor's.
Best comment so far. I am a thor fan but gotta admit it is thor who started the beef. But Eddie continued in so many videos with bitching about "do the five o one" and then got mad when thor HAD to do it this way since it was a planned event, cancelled by corona and made Eddie look like a dwarf with this easy lift. So I can understand why thor lost his cool and called eddie out. And the money is there too haha
He did the same shit at WSM 2018 finals, with Brian Shaw's deadlift. That's really bad faith
Eddie hall c'est vraiment le stéréotype du viking, et c'est ça qu'on aime
Eddie is an animal. Thor definitely knew what he was doing. Eddie strict pressing a 216 axel puts him on another planet
0:40 Nick Best doing his best lmao
Nobody beating Eddie when it comes to pressing power
Luke Daniel he might have the log press world record but he’s not stronger pressing wise, nobody is. Eddie was a hair short of the log press world record and that was only because of his injured ankle, he also has the axel press world record as well
Camo Dude false
Eddie had atleast one or two more in him. He was winning that event regardless
never has someone looked more like a dwarf than 190+cm eddie hall lmao the bulk + beard + haircut it all fits so well haha
Thor actually only got 11 good reps. The refs gave him the benefit of the doubt and he still bitched and threw a tantrum when he lost
fr tho
Then Thor tried to get 15 reps after the comp, but the OG Colin said nah fam we don’t do no cheating shit around here. Thor was a sore loser this day.
Why does the camera cut to a face shot on the most important moment? Unreal.
He definitely had one more. Thor needs to chill the fuck out. Eddie Hall wasn’t handed this world strongest man title. And Thor wasn’t cheated out.
Thor doesn't seem to comprehend that even if he was given the extra rep, that Eddie would've just done more. He acts as if Eddie went before him and was maxed out, when the fact is, Eddie went after Thor and just did what it took to beat Thors total, with reps left in the tank.
Thor is strong but it pisses me off when he starts bitching about not getting that last rep and starts crying about it and saying that Eddie cheated
2016-2017 Eddie Hall was strongest human on earth to be known
Bullshit, he's no Lasha.
@@terrya8989 Lasha's job is to be really good at one lift (overhead), but strongman is more "overal" test of strengh. Weightlifting also masters techniques that most strongmen don't need to press 200kg
The biggest thing holding Thor back is that parade of yes men he always brings with him. He shoulda contested this call and he should of contested the deadlift call later on in the same competition but his yes men are always stroking his ego "you're the best you're unbeatable" so crucial calls are missed until they're too little too late
Martins did an incredible job too. Gotta give it to him
The other strongmen using legs too.
Eddie doing straight shoulder presses lol thats insane
1:21, really doesn't look like double dipping in slow mo... you can see his knees were bent the whole way after the initial push and don't bend again when pressing, they just lock out a bit late and he leans forward.
It was a bit harsh but rules are rules. His knees needed to be locked out before his heels hit the ground. By that point his elbows were already locked out overhead so the last portion of the rep was done entirely by his quads which makes the rep a lot easier. It's a bit like a clean and jerk, no one fails the rep after locking it out overhead because it isn't hard to get out of a half lunge.
Eddie, one of the strongest ever!
Eddie amazing power!!!!
The Beast could have gutted out a few more. The guys upper body strength is unreal.
God bless you Eddie fantastic job
man eddy hall looks massive here
Thor missing down signals & Calling Eddie a cheater ... Just look at this... Eddie was the stronger man no doubt .
Eddie was a static MONSTER in 2017
"Animalistic tenacity" Love it!😂
Watching this again all this time later and Thor's last rep looks fine - he's so tall it just changes his technique. Meanwhile, all those saying Eddie had 16, 17... 20 reps in the tank. No he did not. He ground out that last one. Can totally see why Thor was a bit miffed. Shame it all ended in this stupid rivalry and fight.
finally someone tells the truth
Nick best is already such a beast, but next to Hafthor he looked like an amateur here, Thor’s just ridiculously strong
That's the event Thor said he got robbed, but Eddie only stopped because Thor had only 14 reps and Eddie didn't need to continue
I knew Eddie was going to win .His shoulders are genetically gifted .
Eddie hall the champ
The difference between full power and double dipping almost all the reps. Thor was a fucking twat that year.
My anterior shoulders and elbows can the feel the pain right away.😭
Eddie's static power is probably the most ridiculous thing in world.
Keep in mind it took 11 reps before he took a breather.
"such an important, subjective call" is my new fave way to say "bullshit"
I'm not an expert, I've only recently been watching these kind of videos on RUclips. In all the videos Eddie seems to have great form and show massive strength, and Thor seems all over the place. This as an example..
It's definitely more difficult for Thor to have perfect form given his height but that's a tradeoff he has to live with for being the size he is
Eddie is tall, but he was so stiff nothing could move him while overhead pressing. 1,89m 190kg is really, really heavy.
The beast
This guy is solid as rock - Thats what human can do.
For an old timer nick did great but if he had done 4 or 5 jeez this man is literally master Roshi strong
I wanna see Thor vs that slapping champion Vasily to see what would happen in a slap off 😂
that would be horrendous, can you imagine the amount of weight behind a Thor slap
What about the guy that actually won there?
03056932R that’s exactly why Thor should be crowned slap champion 😂
The BEAST!!!!!
Thor's knees at lockout were so soft they'd work fine as pillows
Eddie was the Strongest man in the world at this point. Really curious to see how many he would've won if he stayed in competition
Who's here after the documentary destroying any argument Thor had of a possible conspiracy?
I love how Thor's repping it out to double digits and then there's just Nick lolol
Simon Dean do you not means you love how Thor’s is cheating out double digits
@@hughpaynes754 Get got 11 proper reps and double dipped on the last four
Beasty power and pride of GB! Placing huge strain on the body but now seeing the rewards and fame for it. It's about time those WSM see the fame/£ for their hard work. Spikes the testosterone into proposterone levels just watching this.
Go on Eddie you beast🦁❤
When are you going to show the whole event?
No doubt whatsoever that Eddie was the strongest that year. I just want to state that his height also gave him an advantage in the press. I dont believe this made it unfair, but it definitely was an aspect that worked in his favor.
Nick is doing his Best!
Well stated by the announcer. Eddie Hall wins the Viking Press with 15 reps. 10/14 you're going to want to acknowledge Lief Ericson the explorer
I’ve seen several videos discussing this. He received several warnings. I the video that that talks about the debriefing Thor even gets the Reff to review his technique. Eddie has this in the bag. Thor was struggling Eddie could’ve kept going. Look at their composites and forms as they do the perform the reps.
Best presser in the game
At every rep Hafthors heels come off the ground, and after the warning this last rep doesnt count 1:22 Eddie was clearly the strongest presser on this day
Your heels are allowed to come off the ground...
The whole tournament 2017 for Eddie
Half Thor Bended his Hands and legs from Starting Of Viking Press. It's Crystal Clear. 👍👍👍
If Eddie did 16 or more than, Hafthor and Eddie feud would have never happened!
I like how thor still mad cause of this you have to face it buddy Eddie could’ve done way way way more than thor and now they are fighting cause of this
Eddie looks like he’s shit down on lock out every time he lifts things that are heavy. Goes from absolute push face to no one is home blind to the world face. What a display he puts on every time.
For those saying even if Thor’s last one counted Eddie could have done more no matter how many Thor did: remember this was shortly after Thor’s Bell’s palsy episode. Half of his shit was shut off and he had to wake it back up over some years. Maybe without that happening to him Thor could have done 30? Doesn’t matter now so realize excuses and what if’s never change what actually happens.
Eddie my fqvorite
Dude, Eddie strictpressed axxle worldrecord. No one have ever done that.
Had to look up how a normal Viking press works 😂
Where was the double-dipping?
Nvm I found out what double-dipping is and tbh some reps he could have disallowed but that last one I couldn't see it
There loads of other things he done as well not locking elbows, not waiting for the down call double dipping man is a cry baby
Eddie hall s the best to me👍
Thor shouldnt have grumbled there, cuz if eddie needed to do fuckin TWENTY reps he couldve done it. Gotta give it to him, THAT YEAR, eddie was the strongest man on the planet.
They dont call him THE BEAST for nothing !
Colin bryce : dowwwn liffttt dowwwnnn lifft down lift.😂
