Disgusting, I suggest you break up with your gf(for both your sakes) and wait until you find someone who you trust or are mature enough not to worry about her Instagram.
Interesting event but so many issues with the broadcast unfortunately. 1st: Camera angles - Why have head to head events when we got to see only one person at the time? 2nd: Sound - Hearing what is going on at the comp is such an important part of the show. It did not feel visceral as we did not hear the implements moving, athletes grunting etc. 3rd: No graphics - It should be fairly easy to add basic graphics: points totals after events, how many reps athlete has done currently, timer.
@@brockmeade4450 Agreed on both points, also Smaukstelis had to load his own plates and no other athlete did. Reportedly the flag pull was timed differently depending on the judge (either flag going up or down) and flag did get stuck as well. Final graphics missed Tom Stoltman. What an absolute shitshow.
I agree with all the points raised buy all of you...alot of room for improvement there seemed to be a lack of organisation slightly aswell....Still good of rogue to show the event for free & live aswell. Loz was a great present him and Eddie hall together commenting on WSM would be good 👍
Even though this has flaws I’m still happy we’re getting it for free and streamed day of. Also Loz is a great host and you can tell how much he loves this sport.
@@J.B.A.Straub how do ppl still not understand that you have to have a voice for the layman? plenty of viewers wont know what's going on, so this guy asks the expert questions and points out things that the audience might be curious about so that Loz can explain it for them
I'm confused! Weren't they supposed to put plates on themselves on the death lift? Because Aivars was one of the only guys who was strapping himself off the bar to actually load the plates. Even Shivlyakov was strapping himself off the bar to load the plates only to see that that was already taken care of. Everyone else later was strapped on the whole time which is unfair. I honestly don't know what the hell happened there but they should really be clear about what the rules are.
@@0oJoe I agree. You can be the fastest competitor, but if you have to wait for another person, who doesn't care if you win or loose, to load the weights on... their mistakes become your failure.
Thanks for the live stream! Unfortunately there were a lot of issues including events, rules, judging and camera. Hopefully this will improve to next comps.
And another live event that could use some more effort on the production. Director: ok guys we have two deadlifters going head to head. Keep both in view until the event starts then put a camera on one of them and don’t mention the other guy. Viewers: I am so happy I got to see one guy do his lifts.
Yep split screen them in real time with a timer or rep counter. To bad Bahrain looks like a beautiful place for a competition just poor execution ROGUE should be embarrassed. Did they really do all five events in one day????
Too many variables with the timed Deadlift! To truly be fair the times should be from the time the bar breaks the floor and then returned. The guys loading the plates shouldn’t be part of this time. And then the 1st guy loads his own plates (as per the rules) for the first few lifts. Ridiculous! 🤦♂️🤷♂️
This was a poorly organised event. Rules were scrapped from the get go and the mysterious leaderboard which popped up about 3 times was wrong. If they want to gather a greater audience, I suggest getting people in that know how to run and broadcast an event.
ya that was actually kind of embarassing to watch. what does loading plates onto the bar have to do with the lift? it was a dumb idea i hope its never done again
1. Let us hear the athletes grunting, supporting each other (Come on Tom!) and weights hitting the floor 2. Show both athletes during head to head events 3. Figure out best camera angles beforehand. Angles on the flag event were horrible in the beginning, with camera panning to the weights and we would have no idea how the athlete was pulling throughout the pole 4. Add more info to the screen. Weights, times, points, athlete names 5. For god’s sake don’t add rules just to disregard them later. Don’t include random people scrambling to setup in the middle of the timed event. 6. Whoever thought putting little foam squares together for the dumbbell press event would be a good cushion, fire him.
You've been TOO HEAVILY MUCH cute and nice and polite brother, i would have definitely said more things that went horrible and shameful and pathetically disorganized here.........
Thank you rogue for the free live stream, especially during these strange days. But we really mics on the event stage. Hearing the lifting and the groaning, the blood sweat and tears is a big part of the experience.
I’m glad there was a live stream but I’m not gonna lie the production value wasn’t very good. Maybe live streaming strongman isn’t the best idea. Maybe just putting out a well produced show with graphics and great camera angles a day or 2 after the even happens is the best way to watch strongman shows. So basically like hybrid between this and worlds strongest man.
I agree, especially since most of the athletes have UA-cam channels and upload the content they film from the contest a day or 2 after as well. I literally just saw the Stoltman brothers uploaded a video called “flying to WUS” after the contest already happened.
The format of the Shaw Classic has so far been the best way for the fans to view the contest: do the events, edit the footage professionally, upload the next day. The other organizations need to take notes.
Novikov is cheater, nothing else. Take away straps from him and he will not be at the podium anymore. He did only stones without cheating/bending the rules.
Well, Novikov has certainly improved but let's not pretend the strongman field is as strong as a year ago. The year Novikov won WSM, Mateusz beat him by 19,5 points at the Arnold's, that's completely on another level. Thor beat him by 21,5. Even injured Martins did. If these 3 were in shape and competed, Novikov wouldn't even make the podium.
Alot of room for improvements in production and organization, but huge thanks for bringing us this content! Big congrats to Novikov - what a beast! Great work from Luke as well
This was a shambles , elite athletes in other sports don't get treated like amateurs so do they in strongman? This was like something out of the 70's appalling organisation
I dont get how you got that out of this? All the athletes looked like they had a great time on instagram. Do you know something I dont? (genuine curiosity)
Mr anonymous, dude. What are you watching? The first event the rules changed after the start absolutely screwing the first two or three lifters. That was outrageous.
I don't wanna bash this comp cause it was good. Grateful for the livestrem but we need to be seeing scores/times. Hearing judges and equipment being smashed about. The deathlift was a joke, completely unfair. Do head to head and show both people. I wanted to see Tom deadlift and couldn't. I called straight away that the flag was gonna get trapped.

Oleksii best attribute is his thought out approach, similar to Brian Shaw. A tactician. Strong, explosive, and fast, but smart in approach. JF is extremely impressive as well, not being the biggest guy yet he looks to be better than ever as he approaches 39 years of age.
I recommend world ultimate strongman taking on all advice from the comments below and learning from the vast amounts of mistakes. Please ensure this is not just money thrown at it next time. All the money with no knowledge at present. I would strongly recommend with investing in a full production team as well as trained individuals educating the spotters. It also begs the question if there was an athlete meeting also as I feel a few of them would of had a lot to say on various things such as small mats that consistently move instead of one large mat as one example.
Well done letting the fans watch this. Thanks Rogue. WSM could learn something here... Edit: I'm referring to the free stream. Not the quality of the competition...just to be clear.
Disagree worlds strongest man is always a great show to watch this felt like amateur hour. And that death by deadlifting event was a complete shambles I hope to never see that in a comp again.
@@MrOasis316 nobody forces you to watch it. Its good for the athletes. They really take care of them with flights and accommodation and the price money is way higher
Why not frame in the mats on the dumbbell or better yet a solid mat or a single pad? It’s almost dangerous for the athletes to compete on. The last thing they need to worry about is the floor coming out from under them
What a great show. I liked the events chosen and everyone put on a good show. WUS has joined the Arnold's and WSM as one of the premier strongman events.
It took a lot of planning. Keep in mind they fit the whole competition into 3 hours, in a country that hasn’t hosted something like this, with several languages being spoken, while dealing with COVID-19 restrictions. It had flaws but everything does
@@travisellison7098 I agree with you, but since I live in the same area, and know how things work, it's sad to know that things didn't go well because there's not enough money, instead it was a lack in competencies

The was alot of floors in the organisation of this competition & numerous issues around the rules changing on events & camera angles only seeing one athlete on a head to head!! Alot of room for improvement for 2022. On a positive note big loz was a great host and thank you to rogue for showing the event live & free of charge.
They could’ve yeah. The idea was inspired by Trey Mitchell’s WUS feat of strength 400kg deadlift for reps where no one was able to come help him so he loaded all his own weights while being on a strict time schedule. Didn’t seem like they told the athletes though that they actually wouldn’t have to load their own weights
The way Bobby thompson (my name sake😜) pulled that last deadlift and thought there was more,was absolutely AWESOME!!! MIND BLOWING!!! A BEAST OF A MAN😎🔥🤝
He’s a new face that has a ton of potential. Static beast. I can see him eventually breaking the axle/log record and would have a shot at the deadlift record some day considering he’s only like 27. Gonna see him in a lot of WSM finals if he stays injury free
Thank you for the stream, it needed improvements for following the action to give the sport the attention it deserves... that being said, there were numerous times during the stream where I was concerned for the safety of the competitors, and it needs to be called out as it plagues strongman events.
Please let us hear the stage! The sound of the implements and the athletes is what makes this sports great! Cut the commentary instead during the events!
Seems like the Axel Death Lift is a bit like NASCAR your pit (plate) crew sure could make the difference when measured in tenth of seconds. Everyone of them could have loaded the shield if they used the tire to assist, very questionable like only a couple of guys helping load their weights in the 1st round.
Petition to have big loz as permanent solo commentator? I feel like the other guys pronunciation of the athletes names changed every single time he mentioned someone. Gotta say, with people losing time on rules changing mid lift, timed events relying on the support not messing up and blind events that allow flags to clog the guide wheel giving unfair disadvantages, WUS not at their strongest today.
Loaders/Event Helpers were absolutely useless. Having people who actually understand the sport (and basic instructions!!) would have been a good place to start. Seriously inconsistent refereeing. Having said that, the Flag Hoist was a great event.
11:48 Heights were mentioned wrongly. Aivar is 6.2" not 6.6" Luke is 6.3"(190cm) not just 183cm JF caron is 6.2"(188cm) not just 183cm Tom was 6.8"(203cm) in WSM but mentioned as 207cm(6.10")
Thanks very much for streaming this, wouldn’t have ever been able to see it otherwise 👍🏻😁 Where’s Colin Bryce then? He’s usually commentating at most strongman events? Loz was brilliant though
Look, I think the stream for the shaw classic was better, however .... finally a stream for a world strongman competition... there's things to iron out but.. Not bad
I enjoyed it because I love strongman but it was very rough around the edges ,maybe the stream dosent help compared to an edited Giants live tv broadcast but it all seemed a bit homemade somehow
I mean the commentators told us they were going to load their own bar on the very first event and that wasn’t correct, if I was an athlete competing I wouldn’t want to loose because of the confusion of staff and having confusion of events.
The Shaw Classic is by far the best test for true strongman strength out of all these competitions. Including WSM. Arnold is still pretty good. Really hope the Shaw Classic blows up and gets really popular.
I'm 6'3 95kg . I'm often one of the largest people in a room. It's crazy for me to think that there is someone twice my size and in shape like Tom Stoltman. I'm up to the 3rd event. Think Tom's height really disadvantaged him in the first and 3rd events. He also didn't use gloves in the 2nd event. Really unfortunate.

Oleksii proves once again he's worthy!! fKn insane!!
Thank you for the stream, it needed improvements for following the action to give the sport the attention it deserves... that being said, there were numerous times during the stream where I was concerned for the safety of the competitors, and it needs to be called out as it plagues strongman events.
Rauno's deadlift shown so late ...cmon cameracrew....
Please let us hear the stage! The sound of the implements and the athletes is what makes this sports great! Cut the commentary instead during the events!
Very impresive performances from iranian guys
yeah they were both impressive and held their own more than adequately with the "big" names
Seems like the Axel Death Lift is a bit like NASCAR your pit (plate) crew sure could make the difference when measured in tenth of seconds. Everyone of them could have loaded the shield if they used the tire to assist, very questionable like only a couple of guys helping load their weights in the 1st round.
Great job Loz!! You’re seriously a natural, you would have made the Shaw classic wayyyy better, nothing against Magnuss.
Petition to have big loz as permanent solo commentator? I feel like the other guys pronunciation of the athletes names changed every single time he mentioned someone. Gotta say, with people losing time on rules changing mid lift, timed events relying on the support not messing up and blind events that allow flags to clog the guide wheel giving unfair disadvantages, WUS not at their strongest today.

Loz is an EXCELLENT commentator. I think he should be hired on a permanent basis
Loaders/Event Helpers were absolutely useless. Having people who actually understand the sport (and basic instructions!!) would have been a good place to start.
Seriously inconsistent refereeing.
Having said that, the Flag Hoist was a great event.
very consistent approach to loading and very consistent on both sides - what were you watching??
@@joebot9309 dumbbell press in particular was poor from Terry.
Amazing transition, спасибо!!!
AMAZING
Great live show congratulations to all the athletes
Great great show.
I recall someone saying this contest is better than Worlds . Then it starts off with inconsistencies.
Can’t wait too be live in Las Vegas this year
Love watching super strong guys unreal Nellie

Heights were mentioned wrongly.
Aivar is 6.2" not 6.6"
Luke is 6.3"(190cm) not just 183cm
JF caron is 6.2"(188cm) not just 183cm
Tom was 6.8"(203cm) in WSM but mentioned as 207cm(6.10")
Неймовірна сила, Олексій ЧЕМП!
Incredible power, CHAMP!
Its embarrassing for the sport that this is on ESPN and Core Sports. How the hell did they get these tv contracts?
Reign, SBD, Rogue. They have these giants backing anything and it will get views.
Oil money.
@@holmgeirgautreksson2451 Sport washing for sure
Loz makes a great sports commentator. Very professional.
Awesome from all the athletes well done !!!
Thanks very much for streaming this, wouldn’t have ever been able to see it otherwise 👍🏻😁
Where’s Colin Bryce then? He’s usually commentating at most strongman events? Loz was brilliant though
Look, I think the stream for the shaw classic was better, however .... finally a stream for a world strongman competition... there's things to iron out but..
Not bad
I enjoyed it because I love strongman but it was very rough around the edges ,maybe the stream dosent help compared to an edited Giants live tv broadcast but it all seemed a bit homemade somehow
Its Live lmao
@@joebot9309 dosent mean it has to be a shambles ...head to head and were forced to watch the worst of the two
Best Live Strongman event ever - great job!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can tell this is a newer competition, did they do a dry run of the show? The crew doesn’t seem very well prepared
I mean the commentators told us they were going to load their own bar on the very first event and that wasn’t correct, if I was an athlete competing I wouldn’t want to loose because of the confusion of staff and having confusion of events.
They've done a few shows before this ain't their first rodeo...
The Shaw Classic is by far the best test for true strongman strength out of all these competitions. Including WSM. Arnold is still pretty good. Really hope the Shaw Classic blows up and gets really popular.
That shield made me so nervous the whole time. lol
Big z from top view ❤️ very gentle movement
Would probably be better to have multiple pre loaded deadlift bars set up like log medley no?
Anyone else love the way the commentator gets hyped up everytime Tom walks in frame 🙌👏
Yeah. Have to turn my volume down when he starts shouting.
Loading platform was way to high for the shorter athletes.
Novikov managed fine!
Admire those muscles. Takes a lot of hard work! Praise God.
I'm 6'3 95kg . I'm often one of the largest people in a room. It's crazy for me to think that there is someone twice my size and in shape like Tom Stoltman.
I'm up to the 3rd event. Think Tom's height really disadvantaged him in the first and 3rd events. He also didn't use gloves in the 2nd event. Really unfortunate.
Happy to see big LOZ!
The speed at which they deadlift is largely dependent of how fast the loaders are.
STARTS at 21:35
Just stop for a second and let sink in the fact that Novikov was only 136 kg on this competition!!!
