WSM 2022

[Rot-Iron66]

Shaw will stay relevant in the sport fir many years to come, he's running very successful businesses and his comp is getting bigger every year

Of course... The Shaw Classic is great. Its just im hoping he doesnt continue to hang on and lose like athletes that do way past their prime and look bad doing it. Plus aging and being 400 lbs, not great. Gets dangerous as they age being that big..

 

[Rot-Iron66]

Looks like (All qualified for the finals):

T. Stoltman
M. Hooper
Novikov
Martins
L. Stoltman

The "Stone-Off" will decide who else will go from each group.

Mitchell vs. Bishop
Faires vs. Rheaume
Thompson vs. Shaw
Maxime vs/ Kordiyaka
Melsted vs. Coco (Coraboeuf)

Can't believe Rheum beat Faires! That sucks!!
Brian is through, apparently Bobby couldn't return the first stone for some reason

What's going on with Bishop and Mitchell? Tied at 11?

 

[Trendkill]

That is a strong final. Novokov, Licis or T. Stoltman will be an incredible battle. If Hooper proves he's the real deal he could sneak on the podium but I still think his lack of experience could be an issue. Trey Mitchell will do some impressive stuff in the static lifts but won't contend I don't think. I guess that makes Shaw the dark horse?

Im thinking Mitchell goes, they both got 11 but Mitchell has more points overall... Same for Max and Melsted.

It’s a shame that you can’t watch it live. I enjoyed what they did with the Arnold Strongman Classic. They usually televise it at a later date right?

Yea it's usually September in the States and Christmas in the UK I believe.

This frustrates me. Faires was ahead by 4 points, and now all of a sudden the stone off just wiped that lead away.

To make it more fair and not just say “to hell with the points” maybe rheum should’ve had to do 4 reps with the stone (1 rep for every point he was behind) and then they should’ve gone head to head. That’s gotta be beyond maddening for Faires.

Somebody else suggested that. I agree.

Oh shit, Core Sports/WUS just let Mark Boyde go for releasing that audio clip of Luke Stoltman!

Bad timing on Boyd's part, and just wrong to record someone, but many have been talking about Colin and the corruption for over a decade. Nothing new there. Shit this stuff goes back even further, when IFSA started to get away from WSM, etc. (Doug Edmunds, etc).

Someone on here? Hopefully someone that has some pull with WSM suggested it

Watching Maxim's latest video talking with JF, pretty cool, JF so proud that there is 3 Canadians in the finals with his absence. Maxim's chick Sam is growing on me

Hooper is a fuckin beast x

 

[Gibsonator]

Dude where did this guy come from?! Starting off the comp in 1st wtf.
Look, the guy is obviously a phenom but he needs to chill out and get to the back of the bus

 

[Trendkill]

Novikov is on a tear. 542 in the flint stone barbell and first in the DL for reps. Tomorrow is going to be really interesting.

Surprised Luke didnt do better in the flint stone lift and surprised Tom did so good.
