    Magnus Ver Magnusson, what an amazing all-round strength athlete. Was a huge privilege to have met him some years later in his gym when he was aged 50 and still lifting big weights!

      The guy has won the masters a few times. Just a very naturally gifted fella, with a very competitive streak and a focused mind.
      To think he was a stand-in in the his first ever WSM and went on to win it! Never been repeated, probably never will.

    People used to say Magnus only won these because of his speed and mobility but his Squat, Deadlift and overhead pressing were exceptional and would usually win these events apart from maybe Gerritt in deadlift

      @@darylkanofski9327 Badenhurst, Kiri, Poundstone and Hoeberl. All four were arguably the strongest guys in the world but failed to win a title for one reason or another. Such a shame that Baden and Kiri were prone to injury in WSM, but had massive success outside of that contest. Hoeberl was ended by the car crash. Poundstone just happened to come up against a prime Mariusz who was, lets face it, a level above everyone else. Yet Derek had beaten him in many super series that year! But Pudzian had set his mind to nothing but victory in the worlds.
      Gerrit is one of those fellas it'd be a pleasure to hang out with outside of competition though! Always a good laugh, entertaining the crowd.

      @@dongatello6969 Yeah, he’s by far the most overrated and arrogant strongman. Also funny how he calls himself the greatest American in the sport over Brian Shaw. The difference between them is that Shaw competed against the strongest competition in history, while in Kaz’s case the World’s Strongest Man only had “world” in its name:
      a) 1979 - 8/10 Americans
      b) 1980 - 6/10 Americans
      c) 1981 - 7/10 Americans
      d) 1982 - 8/10 Americans
      1982 was the last year when more than TWO Americans have participated in the WSM final until 2005 (only because the major competition left to IFSA). Shows you that Bill lacked the proper rivalry like Jón Páll, Ab Wolders and Geoff Capes in his prime instead of the ones who were automatically given the spots for being locals (no qualifications at that time). Maybe he would’ve won the trophy in 1983 (because that year Jón Páll came 2nd on his debut only because he finished very last in truck pull as he’d never attempted it before and already the following year he dominated everyone in that event winning the most points) but that would’ve been his last title.
      He was strong, no doubt, but him saying that in his prime he might have a chance against the best version of Žydrūnas is just extremely embarrassing.

    Badenhorst is easily one of the strongest men never to win, same with Riku Kiri. The way he pulled that 410 kg is a perfect example of a true 1 rep max, smooth without any sticking points, but very slow & he couldn’t possibly lift any more. His 410 kg deadlift was the strongman world record for 15 years until it was broken by Brian Shaw. Kevin Nee technically did 410 kg as well in 2008, but it was very sloppy & he hitched like crazy so he wasn’t actually strong enough to lift it.

      Kiri had chronic ankle problems his whole career. Also had ankle issues in '93, and probably a minor issue in '94, missed '95 entirely. Pretty much always injured. As mentioned by the previous reply he probably didn't feel it was worth hurting himself further for an event he couldn't win anyway. Would have been nice to see him at full strength at least once.
