I love having Brian on the microphone. He is so incredibly knowledgeable and has the experience that makes him so good at commentary.
Those chairs did an amazing job
So cool to see most of them looking serious grim faced at the side, while M. Hooper is talking, smiling and joking. 😂
I can imagine Thor rewatching this, laughing furiously while sitting on a throne eating a 5kg bucket of skyr.
Why are there no on-screen stats, they are really needed to follow everything that is going on. Names, position, what throw, how many kg each barrel, etc.
THOR IS PURE BEAST ! RESPECT!!!!
Awesome event! I want to emphasize the fact that Hafthor is the undisputed, greatest of all time on this strength discipline which dates back to centuries ago in Irish Highland games. Hafthor holds all three of the staple Max height keg toss world records, outright: – 12.5 kg (28 lb) over 8.54 m (28 ft 0 in) - unbeaten for 10+ years at the time of this comment – 15 kg (33 lb) over 7.77 m (25 ft 6 in) - this performance (just listen to B @ 54:02) – 25 kg (55 lb) over 6.00 m (19 ft 8 in) - unbeaten for 12+ years at the time of this comment He also holds the world records in – Weight over bar (which dates back to 600 years ago in Scottish Highland games) having broken the world record an incomprehensible 12 times so far, – David Webster one arm sandbag over bar, and – Sandbag over bar (both max height and max weight) Another forever memorable world record of Hafthor is the 8 keg speed run from 2014 WSM, heaving 8 kegs each weighing 18–25 kg (40–55 lb) over a 4.9 m (16 ft 1 in) bar in 16.35 sec. Just ask Brian how amazing it was.
Great event. I have always enjoyed the keg toss. The entire event looked like a warm-up for Thor.
Halfthor is one unbelievable machine!
Brian Shaw is following Bill Kazimier. Great champion legacy. Time is passing fast.
Jeezus, I don’t know how this ended up in my feed but I’m here for it. These men are absolute units. I wonder how some of those male cheerleaders would do… the ones that throw the flyers?
This event (like all the events) was awesome to watch... I would have loved to have been there
The way Thor casually matched the record despise "failing" his form and then just going for the record cause it was fun lol
Best commentary ever love to see Shaw and big loz together
Everytime I see Thor I imagine being some poor English farmer and then he shows up to the village leading a raiding party wielding a battle axe and a hammer. Game over.
Novikov completely missed on Round 3, no? Am I crazy? I'm rewatching that throw and it falls short.
Thanks for putting this out there, Brian!
the sportsmanship in strongman is the best in the world
these men are the best
