    Brian, you are one of the greatest athletes to have ever lived. You’ve beaten some of the greatest names in strongman and your attitude, work ethic and analytical approach has driven the other competitors to the levels they are at today. I met you briefly in 2015 at the Arnold Australia and you were friendly, personable and gave me some great tips which really helped with my recovery of grip strength post wrist surgery. Regardless of whether you win another WSM or not, you will always be a massive hero of mine and many others. You gave a fantastic account of yourself and should be very proud

      Now, you are saying we should listen to science, but your proof is to "look at him". That is not scientific. You clearly have not spent any time around very strong men. There is a lot of variation in body fat with Strongmen depending on how far they are out from competition. Given Brian just competed, he's likely much lower in bf% then you are suggesting.
      As I said before, BMI is well known to produce inaccurate results with athletes. I would recommend you do some light reading and not make extremely controversial statements solely based on what you think your eyes are telling you. You're trying to make a point, but you're using your feelings as proof instead of producing actual data. Anyway, just trying to help you see a thing or two and I appreciate the opinions you've provided me. Have a great day!

    You are literally the reason that I'm obsessed with strongman. I remember you with your sports shades on pulling a truck during one of the WSM competitions and making it look easy. (That was the time when WSM still used those really wide stretched out videos.) At the end of the day, you proved that after competing as a strongman for this long that YOU'VE STILL GOT IT. Much love Brian.

I have been rooting hard for you to take home that super number 5 victory for a couple years now, and to see you come 2nd really hurts. But to see Tom take it all, knowing how hard he has been pushing and how hard him and his brother have been working... He really deserves a WSM title, he worked very hard to get there. And the fact that he clenched his Victory by defeating Brian Shaw, king of the atlas stones, in the Stones.... Just makes it all the more awesome for him.
    Enough blathering, 2022, you're taking home that 5th championship!

Not sure if you've done the math, but in the last 20 years, you have the second highest percent of points earned out of possible points of all WSM finalists! Novikov is #1 and your average is over 13 Finals whereas his is in 1 final so you may as well be #1. Keep your head up. What you've done, including this year, is incredible.

    Brian Shaw, you are by far my favorite contemporary athlete. Your modesty, humility, sincerity, passion, and sportsmanship is surreal. I think you performed fantastic at this year's World's Strongest Man. Sometimes the body simply does not function as intended. Tom Stoltman is in his prime and simply performed at his peak throughout this contest. I believe that next year will be your best year because you will be working on your diet, training techniques, and addressing any other training related components. You will be 41, but what should be taken from your age is that you have the genetics and proper training background to persist. You train smart, careful, and its effectiveness is evident by your consistent performance.

Very glad to be proven VERY wrong by an amazing performance, I did notice that Brian is the third WSM competitor who talked about a mental coach (Tom and Luke Stoltman mentioned it.) Maybe them being open about that can help other people who need to seek mental help. We all know that many are having problems and nothing is being done about it, likely due to the stigma around it.
