The fact that he won both the Arnold’s strongman Championship and Worlds Strongest Man in the same year makes it undoubtedly that he is the strongest man in the world.
And only 10 months in to his first year competing internationally
Big facts
Had the chance to talk to Mitch and his family multiple times during WSM week and they're all super nice people, Mitch is super nice with fans, always takes time to talk.
yeah, saw a clip of Mitch trying to "steal" Your Mitch Lightyear Poster 😁
What a lovely and inspirational human being he is. Very well deserved. Congratulations!
This man is an ideal champion for any sport.
Congratulations on your achievement!
Congrats Mitch. Although he is no small man at 6'3", this proves that you can win WSM without having to be a 6"8" and 450 lbs monster.
THANK GOD CBC recognizes an actual HERO!
He sure is
Congrats Moose! We couldn't ask for a better person to represent the best values of Canada!
Whether is "Moose" or "The Newfoundland Moose", strength athletes who are called "Moose" rule.
This is just awesome. Great ambassador for strongman and Canada!!
Congratulations. So proud of you.💯
Mitch is a real life super hero, and a huge inspiration. Won the Arnold's and WSM in one year. He brings everything together in a never seen before package, insanely strong but also insanely smart, kind, humble and ready to give back to others. His ability to set goals and listen to his body and work out the perfect plan and execute it is mind boggling to me. I really hope the world will recognize more of him and he inspires many others for years to come. Congrats and go Moose!
Mitch is a very kind, delightful young man and a well deserved winner of WSM. I’ve been a fan since last year’s world’s and his progress has been phenomenal, he hasn’t been off the podium in every competition since! Massive congratulations Mooooose!
Super excited to have Mitchell Hooper come out for a meet and greet at Edmonton's Kdays. Will be an amazing time!
When will he be there? Was watching coverage of the event with my parents, maybe we will take a trip up from Calgary and try to get signed t-shirts and show our love :)
Well done from ireland Mitchell .amazing performance, great guy and first Canadian strongest man .brilliant
Congratulations Moose you deserve this !!
you make Canada 🇨🇦 proud
Amazing accomplishment, well done 👍👏👏👏
He's really smart as well as strong, this is the whole package right here
Mitch is very deserving of this title…an all around well placed vessel to lead Strongman in a positive and upward direction! Having the opportunity for him to coach me was amazing last year where I gained so much insight and direction on how to become better, stronger and smarter limiting the chance for injuries…I’ll be forever thankful for that opportunity…Worlds Strongest Man is just a title but he truly is that and more
Well done and well said, champ - congrats.
Wow what a well spoken Canadian strong man. Super pumped for him.
The strongman and the strength community as a whole has really changed over the last 15-20. Like Hooper said, the biggest, strongest, most tattoo'd up person at the guy is PROBABLY also the nicest person there and happy to help (just don't interrupt their workout!). Strongman has helped to inspire me to get back into the gym and working on both my mental health and physical health with awesome people like Hooper, Licis, Kerney, JF Caron, and so many others. Lift Heavy, Be Kind is a wonderful motto. Can't wait to see what you do Moose, super excited to see what YEAR 2 of your strongman career looks like.
As a fellow Canadian, congratulations and I love everything you stand for!
You can nearly immediately when he begins speaking, his eyes, his voice, truly a gentle monster.
When i saw Mitchell go all out with the shield carry exactly in that moment i knew he already won congratulations 💪🏻
That was an amazing moment
Mitchell is cool as hell. His marathon background definitely gave him a tolerance for pushing limits and work capacity and he translated it into heavy lifting and strongman perfectly. He's just the kind of new blood the sport needs with Eddie, Thor, and now Brian making their exits.
Could you explain "marathon background "?
Guy was a marathon runner few years ago, doing some pretty damn good timings
Congratulations 🇨🇦
Congratulations to him! He's been working hard for years. So happy for him. ❤
Yes
.for like 2 or 3 years.. this freak started strongman like 3 years ago max and he won wsm lol! Absurb.
@@mikimiyazaki he was in powerlifting before he did start from 0
Very proud of this true champion, way to go Mitch!
So proud of him🔥🔥🔥
Proud of you Mitch, is a honor watching you become the person you are
As a Canadian u make us proud

Mitch is amazing
Awesome video guys!👌🏼💪🏼
What a nice guy
What a champ.
congrats, you made Canada Proud
Canada always has a tradition of a strong man, for example Louis Cyr, Hugo Girard and many others.
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE
Top bloke!
King!! 🎉
Wow. AWESOME
Positive Dude
Big Bunny
A different style of strongman. I wanted Brian or Tom to win but Mitched proved he was the best on the day.🦀👑
Whether its Mitchell Hooper or Jackie Barrett, both strength athletes known as "The Moose", Moose lives.
hope the canadian zeitgeist can propel mitch into their mainstream. hes been over the last year one of the worlds most accomplished athletes and in the top 1% elite athletes. Treat him as such. Strongmen deserves it
Will Sasso got jacked.
The moose!!
World's Strongest Canadian . Go Moose .
Techhhnically he hasn't won the Canada's Strongest Man competition. Maxime Boudreault has that title.
Mitchell Hooper belongs on the highlight-reel of human greatness, right between Alexander Ovechkin and Jordan B. Peterson. The difference is that Hooper is even more impressive as an entrepreneur and media personality than he is as a world-champion athlete. It's hard to believe, but it's true. Long live King Mitchell Hooper.
😊
It's just too bad we can't watch the show
Is Hooper Australian?
I believe he went to university in Australia.
The winner of the World's Strongest Man competition is NOT the world's strongest human being in a literal sense. I'm saying that because Mitch mentioned it's difficult for him to comprehend that out of 8 billion people on our planet he is the strongest. Nope, definitely not, not even close. He doesn't have the strongest bench press on the planet, or the strongest deadlift, or squat, or shoulder press, or grip strength etc. He just simply performed the best in the very specialized events during this particular competition. It's an amazing achievement, absolutely, but it would be ridiculous to consider him to be literally the strongest person alive when there are millions who are much stronger than him at multiple different things. It's like saying the crossfit champion is the fittest person on earth or Miss World the most beautiful woman alive. One would have to go against all 8 billion people alive, in various different disciplines, one by one, to figure out who the strongest one truly is.
Does this mean he is the worlds strongest man or just has the title of worlds strongest man
The Shaw Classic is the heaviest competition out there and it's coming soon. If he wins it on top of WSM and Arnold that would most probably make him the best World Strongest Men ever.
@@Ptitnain2 As happy as I am for Mitch and that would be one of the best (if not the best) years for any strongman I couldn't say best ever. Look at Brian, 15 years straight of WSM finals winning 4, Look at Big Z's record of WSM wins and Arnold wins. These guys put together incredible careers not just one great season.
If you're talking about full versatility, with no concern for PED use, then WSM is easily the best metric for the strongest men in the world.
@@Ptitnain2 I would say the Shaw Classic and Rogue Invitational are now the heaviest. If he wins all of those with his WSM and Arnold win, then I think that would make him the best Strongman for 1 year ever, even above 2018 Thor.
Gentle giant
