It's great to see Thor back in Strongman. In time, the strongest man on earth will become the best strongman competition. According to the athletes, it may already be the best. Because Brian Shaw loves the sport. His dedication and preparation, along with his team's help, will fix any issues going further.
Crazy that Terry Holland said only Brian was in the same league as Tom when it came to stones, seemingly forgetting that Thor has consistently been right up there and even been labelled King of the Stones.
Such a great event and get so much unnecessary hate because athletes made bad choices on weights and tacky. On the Shawstrength podcast Mitch talks about how all of the stones were perfect and everyone complaining they were “too smooth” were completely wrong. With that being said I would love to see a stone for reps event similar to the WSM stone off where we get to see who can do 400 or maybe 450 for the most reps. Would be an epic showdown between Thor and Tom for sure
I agree. It all comes to strength. However there are differences in the stones. A fresh 450lb/200kg smooth stone is just different to a used 450lb/200kg stone or a rougher stone. Probably could be compared to making a deadlift PR on a bar with no gnarling vs a bar with gnarling.
24:40 .... SERIOUSLY Terry? The ONLY guy in "toms league" of stone lifting is BRIAN? Ever heard of Thor Bjornsson? XD I mean I know at a Giants Live show that'd be standard, and GL's policy is literally to ignore the fact that Thor even exists, or to go so far as to actively defame him, but you should know better!

Hafthor Bjornsson is the best thing that ever happened to the sport of strongman. I can watch him, Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps till the end of my time.
Thor is incredible. He turned up over a decade ago and had SO MUCH potential but was just wild and emotional and made so many mistakes! Over the years watching him mature and train himself into what he became breathed new intrest into the sport for me. Part of me is sad that he quit to fight Eddie but hey - he got paid and Eddie did need to be taught some respect.

Why not just give the rocks a rubbery/sandpapery surface. This feels like a competition of "who is more sticky" rather than one of strength and technique.
Don’t know whether to blame the stones being too heavy, too smooth or the tacky application just being taken out of the equation for stone lifting altogether… either way this event kinda sucked tbh…

When the best stone lifters can't even do it, you know there's a problem. This entire event was frustrating to watch and, honestly, very anti-climactic. They went a bit too heavy with the stones. It made the event rather disappointing.
Seems like this was as much a competition of tacky application as it was strength. I'd prefer to see stones that can be lifted raw, with no tacky allowed. It's disappointing when sticky goo is the deciding factor rather than strength.

@@TheVanillatech Oh come on, Tom's been making atlas stones look like beach balls for years. Name one other strongman who has ever one-motioned all five atlas stones in competition ever. And Tom does it every time. It's obvious Tom and a lot of the other guys were having tacky issues. Looks to me like their tacky was too cold and hardened up and lost its stickiness. Going with raw stones, there's no question and no room for equipment to fail on them. Just a man and a rock, the way strongman should be.
@@Kragatar Don't be daft. Toms great at stones, sure. But Thor is better. Theres nothing more to it. Both have similar builds and wingspans, both should be the best two by far - and they are. But Thor takes it. Stronger man.
these guys are way to reliant on that glue stuff. This whole stone event is a giant ego lift. they should lower the weights and lift more than once or twice then add all the weight
Stones are BS. The height needs to be adjusted according to the person hieght. A 6'8" guy bringing the stone to his waste is much easier than the guy who has to bring it to his chest.
well as you can see ar rogue strongman, they changed the stones to oval and no tacky, and its also very interesting :) i think it might be better even, but still, someone did something very wrong to these stones, obviously, as Tom Stoltman is best man in the world on this, still the tacky teared in a very weird way, cant say why rly
The stones are just smooth because they're new, and unlike the ones they had for practice/warm up with back stage, they had no tacky to start with on these. Nothing "wrong" with them.
Maybe those stones are a little too slick! It's also an unfair advantage to go toward the end of the rotation. Those stones had that sticky substance all over them. The first guys had to deal with much slicker stones.
Going toward the end of any strongman event has inherent advantages which is part of the reward for winning the previous event. This has been the case for every atlas stone event in history
@cisrael468 should any event be designed to give one competitor and advantage over another? The answer to that is, no. Go ahead and put the sticky substance all over the stones from the start so everyone has an equal opportunity.
@@middleoftheroad1 again, going last is an advantage in literally every event. Max distance carry means you can see how far the other competitors went. Max reps you know what number to shoot for. Atlas stone runs like giants live means more fresh tacky on the stones
@@cisrael468 you're missing the point. There is a massive difference between going last so you know what it takes to win the event versus the order making the event easier on some than others. The difficulty level needs to be the same for every competitor.
when then announcers say this is a keystone event in strong man and coming up on half way through the show and only one stone is lifted... id say they made the stones to big... if its a keystone event then guys train it... so if guys cant complete or even do your event the event is flawed in some way or fashion...
there set up wrong, turn them sideways and stagger them so that lifters load one ball the just walk straight to next one instead of walking around each to get to neat lift. and no stickup on hands, because some residue left may hinder next guys lift, plus its cheating in a way, if your strong lift without, if not you don't lift. don't polish the balls so much, then you don't need it anyway. And no skipping stones, you start with lightest and graduate up, quit changing rules, this is not football..
who designs this stuff, bad ideas, the ball misses about every time from going in the ball return and they break apart, and on the axle bars no one marked the weight size and cost a couple of lifters from a fair lift, the barrel toss door falls open, come on guys do you even test this stuff? And the height difference of lifters compared to the height of the top of wooden podiums to lift on
why are you releasing these events once a week?!!?!?! RELEASE ALL THE EVENTS! tHIS IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOUR VIEWS. OR CREATE AN INTEREST OR SHARE IF YOU KEEP RELEASING THEM SO FAR APART
What's the point of making so slippery stones so no one could normally lift it. Obviously last athletes put a tone of the stick on their hands that let them perform a couple lifts.
I think this show was unarguably the crowning of the strongest man on Earth as it was the heaviest by some margin. Maybe TOO heavy? Dropping the weights in aome events by 20% might have made it more competitive and interesting to watch? Who knows. Fantastic to watch though.
Love having Thor back. And love how he's a lot more humble and mature.

These guys ain't got shit on my Dad. He once carried 7 bags of shopping home and didn't have to put them down ONCE!
What's the point of making so slippery stones so no one could normally lift it. Obviously last athletes put a tone of the stick on their hands that let them perform a couple lifts.
That's just how new stones are. If the first several athletes didn't use enough tacky then that's their fault.
Comparing Atlas Stones to Deadlifts :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Its like comparing lifting a banana and a banana tree.
Uhuu
Well that event sucks
this whole venue is poorly organized. nothing works. everything is sloppy. what a disgrace. strongest men but weakest organization
😂😂😂
I think this show was unarguably the crowning of the strongest man on Earth as it was the heaviest by some margin. Maybe TOO heavy? Dropping the weights in aome events by 20% might have made it more competitive and interesting to watch? Who knows. Fantastic to watch though.
The sticky hurt some of the guys getting it off the mat and some it got a little stuck on their thighs and shirt.
You messed up Brian, with smooth unused stones
