Well done Rogue Fitness for putting this show on you tube for us to watch, it was brilliant and Big Loz was great as a host.

I like Big Lozs Commentary, PLEASE be sure to have him back!👍🏾🙂

Is it just me or should big loz be hosting every strongman show. Such a great speaker and so much knowledge of the sport

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.

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.

When your lead is dependent on how fast they load the plates for you...

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.

Nice to hear Uncle Loz doing his thing, I wanted to see him do commentary for the Shaw Classic like this

Loz was the best part! Confusing contest for a viewer to watch but Loz really salvaged the show for us at home.

when you get robbed for time because some kid isn't paying attention to his job...

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.

Novikov is a freak of nature, everyone thought Mateusz was the next dominator...then this chap appears

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.

Дякую Олексо за перемогу! Proud of Novikov, great performance 💪

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.

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! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Konstantine Janashia has the best arm wrestler in the world as his assistant.

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. If the lessons get learnt then I cant wait for the next 1

Козацькому роду нема переводу! Браво Алексо!

Soooo what happened to loading your own plates on the deadlift?

JF Caron is underrated

Would be good to know the overall standings after each event not just the event winners

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

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.

All these events should use large horse stall mats rather than these little squares.

I love the rope pull for reps, totally brutal! Kudos to the person who came up with this event.

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

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.

Head to head events and 0 camera work-sad :(

Very fun competition. Nothing is ever perfect especially in Strongman but very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the entertainment to everyone involved.

I feel bad for JF, with that collar screwup

Thanks for posting this event

WUS needs to do something about the platform for the dumbbell press

Thank you for this video. It was awesome to watch this.

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

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.

thanks for the free stream Rogue!

Amazing transition, спасибо!!!

Truly absolutely amazing event!

That was thoroughly enjoyable. Congrats to all competitors.

The head to head prevented us from seeing some of the athletes perform. Heinla took the lead on the deadlift event but we didn’t even see it.

Bobby Thompson is so impressive. At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="68">1:08</a>:03, you can see he's in first AND last place

This is a literal showcase of blood, sweat and tears. Great job man.

Nice contest overall. I think some of the contest rules could have been tighter. But yeah nice comp!

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.

this was very enjoyable to watch, thank you for putting it on.

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.

Rauno's deadlift shown so late ...cmon cameracrew....

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1365">22:45</a> I mean the rules should be clear Should the athlete load the weight himself or not This is stupid, and the people helping him are zoned out and very slow. It looks like it's their first time ever handling weights

Thank you!!!!

A lot of money was put into this, but little planning and organizing

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.

ВІТАЄМО НАШОГО БОГАТИРЯ!!!!

Can’t complaine about a free watch. Thank you.

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.

Good Stuff! Thank You Rogue and WUS

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.

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😎🔥🤝

Great great show.

Great live show congratulations to all the athletes

That shield made me so nervous the whole time. lol

Imagine in 5 years or so to have an absolute dominator that is Novikov and we will have this stream to look back on

Awesome from all the athletes well done !!!

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.

I'm going to wait until the edited version is posted on core sports. This live stream is unwatchable.

I recall someone saying this contest is better than Worlds . Then it starts off with inconsistencies.

AMAZING

I appreciate the content. It's a little slipshod, but it's good to see some strongman again.

The should've just laid out 5 different axels with each corresponding weight, like the log medley last year's WSM.

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.

Happy to see big LOZ!

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

The contest looked poorly organised and the coverage wasn't much better.....

Can’t wait too be live in Las Vegas this year

Went to sleep woke up to this 💪

Oleksii proves once again he's worthy!! fKn insane!!

Its embarrassing for the sport that this is on ESPN and Core Sports. How the hell did they get these tv contracts?

Loading platform was way to high for the shorter athletes.

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.

Disappointing competition or should I say organising dismal coverage .....good loz was there to get the commentary going he helped a lot but the other guy was a junior Colin Bryce annoying as @*&£😂😂😂

If you watch it at 2x speed it looks like Crossfit with Demigods

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!

Great job Loz!! You’re seriously a natural, you would have made the Shaw classic wayyyy better, nothing against Magnuss.

Very impresive performances from iranian guys

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

Novikov 💪💪💪💪💪

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.

Excellent

That’s kinda funny the Iranians were the ones to use the tire as a stand

That dude beside Loz doing commentary needs to stop yelling. Needed to turn the volume down. Loz was great. But when its normal volume then all of a sudden the other dude starts this ear piercing screeching its hard to listen to

This is a very nice video

So...Oberst sent his brother to win the deadlift ? :D

Now, I think this was overall a good show. More events could have been good, but I guess the 10 stone run equals two events. The only problem was that first event: it wasnt about the athletes, it was about how fast their loaders were. Either do it as a medley/ladder, or make the competitors do it. Right now its a joke. The hoist was a good event imo. Maybe some revisions on rules: allowing people to wear gloves really made it different, they could have the rope slip. I guess since everyone was allowed its fair, but I still feel it shouldnt have been allowed.

Shambles

So you have to roll the tires under the platform but they don’t fit. No one thought to try this out ahead of time? When are Strongman productions going to be taken seriously??

The most beautiful thing ever

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

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?
