    Nice sum up Liz . He did indeed a lot SCL competitions and always have been fair with us. In fact his first international win ever.... was the SCL LATVIA IN 2013 . HE also won the SCL WORLDS STRONGEST VIKING IN 2015. So yes/ /we have history together and it will be epic coming weekend!

      Ladies & Gentlemen of the SCL you need to market better, i like MANY others know little about SCL, the general population barely knows about the 4 big annual shows much less local, regional, national shows and it’s even worse for women and people don’t even realise the existence of under xx weight category competitions
      Strongman needs to stop being a niche sport stuck in some parallel universe!!!

    This is awesome! It really helps SCL get exposure (and sponsors)! I highly doubt it's a big pay day at SCL so I think you can rule out money being the motivation for Thor. He'll be doing it to help the sport and also to help himself. It's humble of him, the 2nd Strongest Man on Earth, to drop down to lower level strongman events. A great ambassador for the sport. For some reason my smart TV has a SCL channel which shows all the SCL over the years on an endless loop.

    Seeing Thor back and finishing 2nd in the Strongest Man on Earth after a pretty serious injury is inspiring. He’s a true embodiment of pushing through adversity because some guys just don’t come back that strong after an injury like that and threw himself into the gauntlet and killed it. He may have not came in first but it’s still a win for him and for the sport of strongman. Makes me want to push myself In the gym even harder no matter what is going on in my life. The iron is the ultimate therapy.
