@keganramsey4843. Yes, I completely agree with you on that ! It was very tragic that Svend was injured :( He would most likely have won the competition here ! :) He would have finished second at least !!!!!

Theres something about Phillipa .... there are many more pretty women on TV every day but Phillipa has some kind of sparkle just makes her so more attractive.
Doug edmunds, had a personal issue with Flemming. Fleming told me about it in zambia 2001 wsm, it was something he said at a dinner that Doug overheard. He didn't want to repeat it to me though. Doug had issues with Gerrit Badenhorst aswell.. Doug had his favorites, Sameulsson was one of them...
@@mikedarrow3809 us enthusiasts want the strongest guy to win, but Dougie wants a product to sell. Surprised he had issues with badenhorst, he seemed a nice guy. I wonder if it was that he could beat mvm in the squat/dead. Before anyone says Bahamas ‘95 Badenhorst was injured before the event. Was it glen ross who threw Doug Edmonds hat in the fire at a restaurant ?
@@mark4lev did he deserve it? I’ve seen Riku in other non WSM comps and he was very charismatic with the crowd. The best man must win for strongman to be considered a legitimate sport.
Doggie Edmund’s the worst judge I’ve ever seen!!! Iron bear Colin’s didn’t lock out on the log lift at least 3 times but was given all of them. Fleming was robbed
105kg log and 1 minute :/ I remember big Z did 160kg for 10 reps at wsm 2011 and he still had more in the tank, says a lot of how far the sport has come :)
@anonymous it's more to do with familiarity than drugs. I've been training for 8 months and can rep 80kg like that cause I have a log to train on. The grip event was made easier than the normal one, bill has way more injuries and is older so of course Magnus was going to beat him. Not saying they're natural but the drugs isn't the only reason they're there
@@hugodogobob i think geoff capes and don reinhoudt were natural beast with no p.e.d.s. but Jon pall was definitely on tons of roids so was kaz i think. I been watching combat sports for years and even the strictest drug testing will still fail to catch most steroid use. And every sport is similar in the sense, that only 1 percent of athletes are natural....meaning no use of steroids or performance enhancing drugs. Of course protein powder wouldn't count but ya I ways root for the natural beasts but I never judge those who did steroids. Its not cheating when everybody is doing it, I just don't respect it. Anyways sorry for the rant
@@preston2636 kaz and Jon pall were definitely on gear. I'm fairly certain with the numbers don put up he was on gear, and Geoff I'm certain was on gear too. Geoff was an Olympian and you know how "clean" the Olympics are hahah.
@@hugodogobob it's absolutely pointless to talk about who's on gear since it applies to basically everyone by default and no one can be seriously omitted from the likelihood
These competitions were great fun to watch. Running with heavy objects looks always pretty dangerous, but only few severeish injuries in a decade, tho.
He actually competed in a Britain's Strongest Man a few years later and an Olympic Games. I think I read he was a Wrestler before getting involved with Strongman.
No it wouldn't have. Ahola and Flemming tied on the log press, so they both got 9 points, if Flemming would have won, he would have got 10 points and Ahola still 9 points. The final score was Flemming 57 and Ahola 61. The 1 point wouldn't have make any difference.
@@c6gav According to what I've found online, it's moved all over the place, from ITV to BBC1, to Five, to Bravo and now back to Channel 5 again. Channel 5 only started broadcasting in 1997 so it couldn't have been shown on there for most of the 90s. According to a story in the Guardian newspaper online Channel 5 started showing WSM in 2012.
Thank you for this. Gerlof Holkema. Appreciate it
Thanx :-)

Sucks that Svend Karlsen got injured he had a damn good shot at winning it this year to

These comps were so professionally produced back then
Theres something about Phillipa .... there are many more pretty women on TV every day but Phillipa has some kind of sparkle just makes her so more attractive.
Not knowing who she was, she seems very confident and yes she does look ver beautiful
She's on Instagram, still very beautiful!
The shows are boring nowadays. The competition is better though. They rely on the mic too much to keep people entertained
Ahola is a g’damn BOSS.
Ahola is a legend in finland a BEAST
@anonymous it's jouko ahola buddy
@anonymous in finland J Is pronounced Y
@anonymous yeps I'm not Finnish myself tho
Ahnuld?
Flemming was like Samuelsson on Diesel fuel.
Doug edmunds, had a personal issue with Flemming.
Fleming told me about it in zambia 2001 wsm, it was something he said at a dinner that Doug overheard. He didn't want to repeat it to me though.
Doug had issues with Gerrit Badenhorst aswell..

Dougie wanted the showman to win if possible. Can you imagine kiri as champion. You need characters to grow the sport like sven and Magnus
Yea he disallowed that last rep on the log lift and Flemming held it at the top for a while. Dirty ref.
@@mark4lev Kiri would have been great.

@@preston2636 and I agree, I don't bash steroid users. If you want to see the absolute limit of strength steroids are a prerequisite.

they still d that
Flemming being done in on the log lift and his mistake on the car flip cost him valuable points
Wow, didn’t know the Space Cowboy actually competed in a WSM ever
He actually competed in a Britain's Strongest Man a few years later and an Olympic Games. I think I read he was a Wrestler before getting involved with Strongman.
Who knows if Fleming was awarded the 13th log press and won the event alone if that would have changed the outcome.
No it wouldn't have. Ahola and Flemming tied on the log press, so they both got 9 points, if Flemming would have won, he would have got 10 points and Ahola still 9 points. The final score was Flemming 57 and Ahola 61. The 1 point wouldn't have make any difference.
@@petpuu liar
Why didn’t Magnus or the other 3 make it to the finals???
Where is Magnus magnonson
He did not make it through the qualifying heats
Can anyone tell me what tv channel was World's strongest man on in the UK during the 1990's..?
I'm pretty sure it was ITV.
