Well Done... I was expecting to see a lot of clips from World's strongest man circa 1997 through 2002, mixed in with some Arnold strongman classic footage... However, I have to say... you impressed this old strongman fan with quite a bit of behind the scenes footage and rare clips. Svend was quite a character and a hell of a strong man champion, keep up the good work
I wish Svend was used alot more in strongman, he is such a cool ass guy I wish i could be his friend. I binge watch all the WSM when i workout and my no.1 fav one is when he won, you just cant hep but cheer him on. I really wish there was more of Him and Magnus...those two were a great duo.
Definitely one of my favorite SM. Ahead of his time and would have done even better if more of the events had been more pure strength and not so many races
I think before starting strongman he was already done with competitions(i beleive he did some bodybuildin first?), but then tried strongman and started like a second career and in the end the body is just tired of it all :p
@@trapromo I believe your right. But honestly, who wants to deal with that kind of diet and maintenance of the body? 🧐 When you can eat whatever you want and then some, and be a strongman 💪😁

Glad you enjoyed, I might maybe scramble enough clips for a part 2. No promises tho.
Great work as always! Viking power 💪
Svend was awesome. What a character.
Svend Karlsen was one of the all time greats.. He was a beast..
One of the greats and glad to have met him in England back in 2011
That dude didn't know Svend Karlsen? For shame!
Loved Viking Power back in the day.
Viking Power! 💪🏻⚔️

Karlsen and Koklyaev together! Two of the great characters of strongman. :)
One of a kind
VIKING POWER

He was good at some moving events too, especially the yoke, he was one of the best at that event, during his time
@daviddeppa122 Yoke and held the record for farmers walk for a while at one point.
Svend was great

Tastes like small drips of heaven!
I love svend karlsen
Don’t we all?
Hilarious 😁 Svend is an important member of the strongman family 💪
He was awesome in his prime 💯 it's a real shame his reign didn't last longer.
Slightly injury prone 🤕
