- Aivars Smaukstelis vs Luke Stoltman at Giants Live Strongman: Europe's Strongest Man 2024: the FIRST EVER Castle Stone Tie!
We have never seen a dead heat in The Castle Stones, until now; we had to go to frame by frame VAR for this one...Do you think the right decision was made?

I can't believe how close this was! In my opinion, it looked like Aivars had it, but I respect the judges call, they know better than me!
As far as i can see with the footage from youtube. Their hands come off the stone in the same frame. Crazy finish!
Insane, they were timed perfectly synced left hand to right removal.
Crazy finish, wonder if we'll ever see it again?
An event tie was spot on.
Unfortunate for Aivers 😅 got his stone in place first but took the time to try and stabilize it and ended with a tie. Honestly this is pretty freaking cool though!!
Maybe with a higher frame rate camera, a difference could have been seen- but it looked like they were both hands off on the same exact frame with the footage we have. That's a tie.
i saw it on 0.25 speed and kept pausing every frame and it was the same time. Aivars gets it up first but is slow to get hands of so Luke catches up
It's the exact same frame. Which is the only thing the judges can go off of. A tie is objectively correct.
Calling it a draw was the only possible outcome. I mean if they gave it to Luke, Aivars would be disrespected and the same way for Luke if the win would be given to Aivars. I watched it like 1000 times... I think that Luke won it by a fraction but if you give me 10 more attempts I might change my answer and then again... Well done to both of the athletes and the judges as well.👏👏👏
At first I was like Aivars has it but the frame by frame clearly shows they left go at the exact same time. Good call by the refs.
Rock paper scissors to decide.
Almost happened 😂
Literally the same time. Split the points.
There was additional drama - them tieing on the event means Luke wins the competition. Aivars winning the event means Aivars wins the competition. The title depended on the outcome of the stone event!
@@ora6925 luke could win or draw to win and aivars had to win.
💪💪💪💪
Do it again!
Should be who gets it on the hole first
It’s always been whoever’s hands are off first. It got reviewed from multiple angles hence why they couldn’t decide and was called a dead heat.
That's how I convinced my wife to marry me instead of my brother.
And what if the stone is rocking and falls out after 5 seconds??
Both looked like karate kid doing the crane 😂
Amazing Atlas stone awosome strong 💪💯😉👍👍🤙✌️the best Luke 🏅🏅🏅💯🔥🔥🔥😎💪💪💪💪
Give them 5 rounds boxing 🥊 fight.
one in a million moment…
1:05 it looks like the same frame to me.
One frame they are both on, the next they are both off.
Looks like there gonna have to add in ultra slowmotion with how close some of these events are
Aivars seems like a really nice guy
He certainly is!
they should run a slow mo camera
It looks like Luke's hands were off of it for 1 frame before Aivars but it's hard to say definitely without another camera angle.
Tell you what else has never happened before, Aivars going in to a comp well rested. He'd probably do the stones in about 3 seconds.
Descending Atlas Stones has become quite a competitive event. Bravo to the Competitors!
The difference between being ESM or not.
Tough one to call on the naked eye after some seconds of consideration
There has to be a better way found. But god knows what that is.
Is it more cameras and higher frame rate? Like an overhead camera? That would at least give a better angle to view the finish.
On the other hand, you could do all that and never have a finish this close again. But it is sport and it will inevitably happen again, in this event or others.
That means more money for GL to spend this is first time this happened so maybe they will look on it
Have to feel for the bloke doing the taping, real hard job but suppose someone has to do it.
you just gotta call that a tie
Whos great idea was it to put the end of a video at the beginning?
Aivars clearly won look 2:05
Aivars may put stone on first but its hands off first
Rock paper scissors for the decider.
Aivars got it
Synchronised stone lift
identical.
So make them heavier next time haha?
🏴🏋️🏋️🏋️🏴
Skipping the stupid spoiler intro again, cus no doubt that showed it before seeing the rest.
Watched here on youtube it's literally the same frame..
Amazing/Embarrassing they dont buy better cameras with higher speed for these things..
Or rent one for 1 day... Embarrassing say the least...
This is the first time this has happened and we do have high speed cameras
They should have just had them do a tie breaking run because the camera angles weren’t clear and it’s not fair to give it to Luke because giants live always roots for their own.
What u mean Luke was 1 point ahead
Luke was 1 point a head anyway so dead heat was fair
That was so clearly a Luke win by 0.0000000000000000000000001 of a second
😂
Luke by a fraction of a fraction
Aivars was robbed
