Haven't watched it in years. Used to be a staple watch in our house. Might put it on.

Been watching it the qualifiers watched it every year for as long as can remember, I do miss the old presentation where it was always in exotic locations but can’t deny it’s became far more popular now

It can be fun. I don't watch it all the time though. Always impressed with what those guys can do.

It wouldn't be Christmas without it.

I wonder if the Pickford's rep is there, asking if they'd like to come and work for them in the removals business?

I watched it the other night, amazing how strong they are. The pressure they put their bodies through is unbelievable.

I know who wins but wont spoil it for those who don't still watching though. Giving me the itch to compete again.

Good to see new guys coming through. Sad to see Shaw retire this year, Mark Felix also retiring at 57 is just insane.

Will be interesting to see how Thor fares on his return next year, I think he might struggle.

Watching this the other night & I was wondering if having a beard is obligatory - or can you qualify on strength alone....?

I'm not sure it's arrogance, I think that you need to keep his Autism in mind when he's interviewed.

Was going to say the same, I see no arrogance in his conduct.

He’s class! And if you watch different you tube bit with him and his brother, there actually real funny chaps.

I’m a big fan and hope he carries on doing well.

He's confirmed 3 competitions next year, now WSM yet, I think he may have a pop at it.

Agreed. Given the amount of strutting around that the average strongman does, he is actually pretty modest.

And the YouTube stuff with his brother is really good.

I know a guy who used to compete as a strongman and he is way more cocky and boastful than stoltman, without any of the achievements to hack it up. Talks about nothing else but himself and his strength, tells packs of lies (easy to google results and see he didn’t even compete in events he claims he won), and a ton of excuses about why he can’t compete in the next event that he would have won, despite not actually competing in any events for years.

Compared to that, give me stoltman any day.

Holding his finger up (I am number one) before an event had finished,the other athlete still carrying.The other guy then goes on to beat Stoltmans distance and win the event.Thats not the only example,and it's not Autism.

I love watching it. I find their strength so attractive. Some of them are my kind of guys - I like that they would be able to toss me around like a rag doll

… and the rest of them are a shy retiring modest bunch, I suppose!

As I posted earlier, I know a strongman competitor, nowhere near this level, and the ego and boasting of him and his mates is quite extraordinary.

Raising a finger? That’s nothing

Why on Earth Tom took 9 months off after the last wsm win is baffling can see he was not at his best

Seen it as it's my Christmas to New Year treat every year, good on C5 for running it.

The presenting & interviewing team make it even better.
