    Colin/Darren Obviously we’d all love to see Thor back competing at Giants Live, but even if he wasn’t interested I’d love to see a bit of peace being made between yourselves and himself, strongman is a very niche sport as you know and I think it’s too small to have any bitterness between any main parties.

      Actually it was filmed separately to the main recording and we have shown it before - with high praise for his achievement. Contrary to popular belief we are Hafthor fans and very proud of his involvement at Giants and ultimately WSM. Nor have we ever disputed the weight of his lift and therefore what he achieved. We won't lie to you and say we wouldn't have loved to have seen it at our Deadlift Champs Contest (because - of course we would have loved that to have happened) and for that matter we would have liked to have seen it at another big contest, but that was not an option to him at the time he was ready to do it. So that shouldn't detract anything from what he did, it's an extraordinary strength feat! Its phenomenal. Simple as that.

    If all the greatest strongman competitors from all eras competed at their absolute best form in a hypothetical show with 3 static events (Deadlift, squats & overhead) and 3 moving events, Thor's best version (2018-2020) beats all of the rest hands down. Which is why he's the greatest, most gifted strongman ever IMO. Of course, if you go by titles won or longevity and such, the argument changes.

      Sorry for bad english.
      If we use the normal pointsystem I dont think he would win.
      Deadlift: He would be first or tied for first with Eddie
      Squats: Eddie and Big Z + maybe a few others will beat him
      Overhead: Big Z + Eddie would beat him
      So in static strengh looking just at the points Eddie or Big Z would win.
      But if you add other disciplines like truck pulling, atlas stones, carrying events usw. Thor would win for sure.

    • @GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN
      @GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN  Рік тому +3

      Well, not really, as we are first and foremost long-term fans of immense strength feats !!! Yes, this channel will document other aspects of strongman world. We. have done dozens of Behind-the-Scenes videos for example, and we also believe that on occasion, with our unprecedented access to the top professional strongman world, that we should be allowed to offer an view point that we feel will be educational for our viewers. So it cant always be just the nice aspects of sport if something has gone wrong. We did that video to highlight that there is sometimes good and the bad but that doesn't mean Hafthor as a person or an athlete in 99% of situations has been anything other than exemplary. As he has been to be fair. But on occasion, If we feel it's necessary then we can illuminate and spotlight certain areas to make sure what we feel needs said gets said. That doesn't mean we make a habit of being controversial. Not at all. But we all must speak out when we feel it's necessary in area of life. So you should n not take the WSM 2017 video out of the very context it was filmed in. This was - a small glimpse in to 2017's Grand Final and the tension around it and one of the conspiracies that followed on from it. That is we we must also offer a true reflection of how Hafthor was just about the most dominant athlete there has ever been at Giants Live (in particular). His record was extraordinary and speaks for itself. We have often touted Hafthor as the GOAT - or a good candidate for being a GOAT. That is based off his 2018 to 2019 period. He was ludicrously strong. Please dont think we have anything but the utmost respect for what Hafthor achieved. Plus out of competition - where he was a force of nature - he was and is often a very charming and genial man. Simple as that.

      @@petershortland478 Thanks for your thoughts on how you can see we are doing our best. Its appreciated. We are all about growing the sport. It is best grown through positivity in our book. However, on the extremely odd occasion we feel it's necessary to make a statement to correct what we see as a misconception we can and we will. Ultimately all anyone can do is to try and do their best and be as fair as possible. So attempting to right a. wrong - and by god are the conspiracy theorists ever growing in there numbers, and that means on occasion we will say (show) what some people simply dont wish to hear (or in our case see). It's fine for them to say so and disagree was they wish. We speak (show events) from first hand what happens, We deal in video mainly so it's both difficult (if no one has recorded something) and easy (if they have) to show what happens at contests. On the flip side, it's only acceptable we get criticised for things people don't like or dont believe is correct. I must say your opinion is very balanced, and I guess what id liek to say is that in an ideal world we would only like to do enjoy the glorious strength filled videos with fans! Anything else is really just an ugly distraction to what we are all about. We want to make strongman bigger and better.But fans should cast their opinions and we do read, and take in, what people think. Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
