- Complete coverage of the Steinstossen Stone Throw, Event 4 from the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic in Columbus, Ohio (March 4, 2023). Inspired by a traditional strength challenge in Switzerland, this challenge gives each competitor three attempts to throw the eponymous heavy stone for distance.
Mitchell Hooper continues his consistent performance in this one, but a determined Mateusz Kieliszkowski also makes it a much tighter battle heading into the fifth and final event of the competition.

This was cool! More historical events like this
I love this event. Just pick a big rock up and throw it. Good oldschool strongman stuff.
I don't know. It doesn't seem fair to the shorter competitors. The taller you are the higher the release and the further the throw.
@@ConcreteBombDeep Are you saying that should make weight classes for feats of strength?

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks man. Guys like you are a gem
I understand why some people are criticising this event for being boring but its such a good test of explosive power, athleticism and strength. Personally I love it
I agree. I loved this event.
Plus it's just fun classic strongman stuff. The kind of strength challenge that's been around since the stone age.
Why would it be boring? People just doesn't have any attention span these days...
I mean its really the same thing as watching a combination of shot put and long jump, both of which are olympic events, so it kind of just depends on what you like to watch
? I don’t understand at all why anyone would say this is boring.. this was an extremely exciting and entertaining event to watch and one of my new favorites. How could someone say picking up a stone and throwing it for distance is boring but yet not call just statically picking up a heavy stone boring? I would choose to watch this event over wheel of pain any day!
I liked this event more than I thought I would!
Its always all about the kid. Un-pick upables.
This was a great event. A real test of strength and athleticism. It's also fun to see events that are new and the athletes can not fully prepare for them so that the winner is the strongest man not just the most experienced or most prepared.
I don't know, there is also an element of who can figure out the best technique in which case it's not a test of strength only.
Bro If Mateusz gets his static power up he has potential to win everything. Glad he's back
He has good static power, the only problem is his deadlift
Aye, considering he is JUST come back from multiple years away (what it feels like), and coming in and WINNING two events is just crazy.
I mean he used to be the lone young, new explosive guy, but now he does it again with Hooper and Trey in the field too.
Can't wait!
@@barath4545 He won three events,not two, right?
The log was disappointing from him considering his past prowess, but he's clearly still maintained strength in everything else. 1st comp in 17 months, 2nd place is great
He should be way better at deadlift not sure why its so far off the rest of his strengths.
It's absolutely mental how good Hooper is at basically everything. Nobody had heard his name before wsm 22 and now he is one of the top names.
I really, really like this event. Besides the fact that it's fun, it shows explosive power, balance and agility.
Loved this, you very rarely see something like this in strongman contests.
Love how primal it is, would’ve loved to have heard the pitch for this event.
I think this event is badass.Pick up a heavy stone and throw it. Pavlo is a monster 💪🏽😎
Loved this event! I didn't find it boring at all.
And i thought a Shot-Putt was bloody heavy and these guys are throwing a huge boulder. Love it, subbed.
This is the most ridiculous, juvenile strong man event I’ve seen in a while. God, I love it! It’s like being a kid again. Whose the strongest? Let’s make some I’ll-advised throws with this ginormous stone to find out.
Right. It's great.
I hope you bring this back!
Kieliszkowski showing his middle finger to someone after his last throw and smiling 🤣
do Martina Licisa pewnie, to kumple od takich uprzejmości hehe
No doubt to Licis and his videographer Romark! They're good friends.
@@Sebastian_Polak_Maly Haha, anyone else remember Mateusz and Martins were talking about some events few years ago and Mateusz said to Licis: *I'm fit, you fat* 😁
he shouted "you're my hero"
Someone in the crowd:“You’re my hero”
Him:gives them the finger 😂 48:05
have a nice day. God bless y´all
Honestly I liked this event. 3 "light" movements helps the athletes recover while still throwing a stone that most people probably couldn't even get overhead
I think there should always be one unusual event at the Arnolds, like the year they did the trial by stone thing or even the max squat was a little different. It makes it exciting for us when we have no idea who’s going to do well and also shows the ability of the athletes to adapt to something they have never done
♦️Tom Evans Stone left his hand at 28:10 his right foot touched the wood at 28:11 and he was disqualified!
♦️Mateusz Kieliszkowski left foot touched the wood at 30:47 then just after that in the same time frame the stone left his hand and all was great!
* * * * His foot touched first just before the stone left his hands....
♦️ W H Y is it ok for one but not the other ? ? ?
*** I put it in slow motion and ran it 5 or 6 times on each contestant with the same results every time!!
Brawo Mati 🤜👊🤛
Really hope WSM pick this event up. So cool
Hooper was definitely throwing it the fursthest, he just threw it 2 feet behind the sand pit. This was fun. Love different old school strong man events!! Get them out their comfort zone
That'll be why he finished 3rd. The marker is put down where the stone hits the sand, not where it eventually lands and Mateusz was 💯 the biggest thrower.
I like how Rogue is just recreating classic action movies for these events.
Had a Braveheart flashback. "Would you like to see him squash me like a worm?"
"Aye... I should've remembered the rocks."
"The English won't let us train with weapons. So, we train with stones."
"you'll move"
This Event is part of Traditional Swiss "Unspunnen" Festival together with "Schwingen" (Swiss Wrestling) I remember there was a Guy holding Records and winning many Festivals and his Body didnt look like a Strength Athlete at all but his Technique and Speed was incredible
His name?
I like the idea of the event, but I can see why it's getting a mixed reception. It's impressive when you consider the weight of the stone, but the throws just look kind of weak because of that. Strongman needs a good balance of difficult and spectacular; Truck Pulls, the wheel of pain, circus barbell stuff, car yokes. This IS a good idea for an event, I just think the execution and the presentation need tweaks.
What would you propose?
My first take would be to make the stone lighter by 30-40lbs to increase range
@@quelandil5738 agreed. A lighter stone to get more dramatic throws would be better for viewership.
@@quelandil5738 - Lighter stone
- Fewer throws per athlete
@mikey and sky just imagine a strongman hurling a 120 lb stone at you crazy
Honestly think discus throw with one of those 45 lb Rogue plates would've been better.
Great Event
This event was kind of cool. Going to be cool when the competitors figure out how to maximize distance.
I have a rock I lift that's the same relative size as this. It's fun watching them chuck it when I struggle to carry it around.
You know...when its 0318 and you're critiquing stone throwing subtleties and technique...and you need to be at work by 0700...that's when you totally appreciate youtube.
Stone throw is a top show of strength and power
Love this event!!!!
great video!
I really like this event. Shows different skill set. Maybe with some changes it can become an enjoyable event for all. I'm gonna check out how athletes feel about it.
Brawo nasz rodak w tej konkrencji najlepszy super !!!
I'd like to see them throw a 145lb stone. 185 is a good show of strength but is still to heavy to actually throw.
Rogue fitness is another great opportunity for people interested in competing gracefully🎯
Perfect video to use the 2x fast forward feature on UA-cam
Kielich Duma Narodu💪
Great video!
It looks like something similar that they had in the early WSM competitions .
Like from the 80's.. 🤔
this is a traditional swiss sport since the 15th century, it's way older than any "modern" competition that exists or has existed.
আমি বাংলাদেশ থেকে দেখতেছি। শুভ কামনা রইলো সকল প্রতিযোগির জন্য 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Mateuz's technique was killer, fast run up and then pushing the rock at an angle, kicking back one leg so he can extend his body and push the rock for longer, giving it more speed and height, and just barely not falling over, saving himself by pushing off the rock
Whatever happened to the car lifts or car pulls? That’s what I miss.
@Rogue love this event, but I think three throws each is a little bit much, how about 1 throw each and top 4 battle it out with another 2 throws?
throwing a rock thats as heavy as your average person that far is crazy
'To infinity and beyond' TM just buzzing :P
Would of liked a direct overhead footage to really see the distance.
Awesome
How come you managed to label it correctly in the youtube video title but messed it up in the overlay and have the casters mispronounce it. Stossen means pushing. Unspunnensteinstossen aka the pushing of the Unspunnen stone. It's not tossing the stone.
Finally, height doesn't matter as much as the athlete's power and ability to make use of his speed. The distance is proportional to the speed imparted to the stone, and to the square root of the height from which it is thrown. So, at equal initial speed, throwing from a height of 2 meters gives 5% more distance than throwing from a height of 1.8 meters(sorry, I can't think in feet and inches!).
Fun Fact, this sport comes from a war tactic when Swiss soldiers would ambush the enemy army from the top of a hill and throw trees and large rocks at them. A famous battle where this happened was Morgarten.
,🇵🇱POLISH POWER Win Second EVENT💥💪💪💪💪💪🔥
This makes no sense. Why are the 5’7 men compete with the 6’0+? Huge advantage
Yes this stone throw is cool event
If Mateusz doesn't get his deadlift competitive then Mitch Hooper is the future of strongman or Wide Pavlo, unless Thor comes back in 2024.
Mateusz is just a beast though.
Can you imagine if these guys entered PowerSlap?
It would be Fine.
I love this competition
I think it would be more of a spectacle if the stone was 20-30% lighter so they could use the whole sandpit, not just the first half.
Bjrs a tous chouette une nouvelle j adore cette emissions❤❤❤❤
Having distances on the side of the pit would be a nice touch.
Maybe with colors.
12:58 What the?! Why's he look so different... went from boy to man

actually this is a big swiss tradition. We keep on using the same stone (83.5kg) since centuries
Sorry but no one is throwing 140-kg ..
@@ruckerbrady8342 you def. right mate. my bad. had to check. its 83.5kg
I'd love to see Thor do this event. With his height, explosive athleticism and power he'd do well.
For me this was such an underwhelming event with pretty much no possibility for excitement or tension. And there was no excitement or tension. It just looked silly. But I absolutely love that Arnold’s tried it out. Definitely the right idea.
But hey, maybe other people loved it.
Shoutout to the people who have to carry these inhuman weights back after each and every try for the whole day long.
awkward but very fun event to watch. hilarious to see some of the straight-arm-throwing-techniques :D
I wonder if you could spin and throw it, like a hammer movement.
"That was just a triceps extension" lol
Arnold he wasn't in the strong performance! He was a body builder ther TWO DIFFERENT categories you Americans?.
Those guys have some stones.
The men's event videos are getting 10x the views 😂
Why do you care? Just want to laugh at women?
@@nonachyourbusiness1164 He is fat dude on a coach that can't bench a case of beer, just ignore him :o)
@@nonachyourbusiness1164 Women injected with testosterone who resemble men more. Most of them look like men so it's not like laughing at women.
@@nonachyourbusiness1164
Maybe he cares because we're told women are oppressed and female athletes paid less because of "sexism", when they are, in fact, overpaid and receiving special treatment. But who knows, I'm just guessing.
@@staceygram5555 Okay, I don't know who is talking about that besides you. I don't see comments like that
Its just something to think about.
So many replies saying how good this event was personally it was one of the worst Arnold events from a spectators point of view
The squat they did in 23 or 24(can't remember which year) was. That was tedious on a different level. Felt like an excuse for Rogue to show off their new monolift
Matteus seems like such a swell guy
This was an interesting event and I enjoyed it. However I think other stone events are better for a competition and better to watch, such as Husafell Stone and Stone to Shoulder, which don't necessarily favor the tallest athletes like the Steintossen Stone Throwing certainly does.
The guy who held it on his head 😹
imagine picking a fight with one of these guys. They just pick you up and toss you away like it's nothing.

This is the worst hospital I’ve visited. I was dealing with a hiatal hernia didn’t know that at the time I felt like I was having a heart attack during what I call we’re attacks I would go to this hospital and just got pushed aside no help at all!!
Pavlo in peak condition would have been right at the top pity he had injured knee.
Do you have to run up, or could you walk up, and then throw it?
You could, but then you wouldn't throw it as far.
@staceygram5555 Does it have to be facing the "sandpit"? If not, I bet a backwards throw would be a better throw.
@@bryancampbell4604 nobody can keep their hands on such a stone while pulling it, you need to push, as it's the only way to impart significant force to the stone, especially due to its size.
You could throw far with a small stone that is small and wieldy, and "grippy" enough to pull on, and not too heavy, since balancing it on your arms is a much more direct, and less local, demanding, way of force transfer, compared to keeping a stone from sliding out your hands.
As you can push on a wall several times harder via your arms, than what you pull with, with bent hand hooks, and gripping the stone is not an issue with it balanced above your head, it is the best way.
Especially after you gain free speed via the run-up, which is better than standing still, because you can jump into it, use the stretch reflex of your legs and up, with mostly arms straight, then pressing into your arms a bit to not lose tension during, at a shallow angle, where you can match the ongoing acceleration your legs give you, and where the arms can impart the most extra velocity with the fastest shallow shove, at an already moving stone.
This way you push it away faster than you could do with pressing it off, where your shoulders and arms cannot compete with your lower body, and significant leg drive would make the stone remain stuck on your collar bone.( I should presume you know most of it, bar the first sentence, oh well, being thorough.).
@japanesecar1501 That's a great explanation. Even with what you wrote, I still believe it could be thrown backwards. Like an overhead toss.
@@bryancampbell4604
1. Not allowed.
2. Definitely would not be better. At all. Like, not even close. You'd come dead last if you tried that.
Aguardem o brasileiro bitelo❤
Yeh Hindi hai-mujhe yeh wala competition kafi achha laga,aur manage karna bhi ise easy raha hoga,iski technique sochne se pata chali ki lifter bhagta hua aaye aur rukke,peechhe hoke phir is stone ko Puri takat se phenke,shayad yeh technique sabse behtar hogi.
They should have a camera overhead of the sandpit.. 🧠
Do think the run up helps i think a full squat and sort of basketball it two handed.
Would have loved to have seen Thor do this event.
Why the name change?
hello ROGUE Team
Barry said he did a study on this guy, and 10 years after competitions. Some guys could not lift their arms, above shoulder height. You have to know.
Does the roll count. That was where we left off. She likes the toughness of a gun.
With all due respect..I wonder how they controlled their laugh after the first throw 😅
love the rainbow beard
wheres kilos and cms. I didnt knew this was only for us people.
