I love this event. Just pick a big rock up and throw it. Good oldschool strongman stuff.

I liked this event more than I thought I would!

Bro If Mateusz gets his static power up he has potential to win everything. Glad he's back

This was cool! More historical events like this

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

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 think this event is badass.Pick up a heavy stone and throw it. Pavlo is a monster 💪🏽😎

have a nice day. God bless y´all

Kieliszkowski showing his middle finger to someone after his last throw and smiling 🤣

I really, really like this event. Besides the fact that it's fun, it shows explosive power, balance and agility.

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.

Love how primal it is, would’ve loved to have heard the pitch for this event.

Brawo Mati 🤜👊🤛

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.

Being a long time fan of strongman, at first i was skeptical, but when it got going I liked viewing this event. Explosive power is clutch!

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

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.

"The English won't let us train with weapons. So, we train with stones."

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

Had a Braveheart flashback. "Would you like to see him squash me like a worm?" "Aye... I should've remembered the rocks."

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.

Really hope WSM pick this event up. So cool

Honestly think discus throw with one of those 45 lb Rogue plates would've been better.

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

It looks like something similar that they had in the early WSM competitions . Like from the 80's.. 🤔

I hope you bring this back!

This event was kind of cool. Going to be cool when the competitors figure out how to maximize distance.

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.

I like how Rogue is just recreating classic action movies for these events.

Great Event

Kielich Duma Narodu💪

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

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.

Brawo nasz rodak w tej konkrencji najlepszy super !!!

Stone throw is a top show of strength and power

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.

Whatever happened to the car lifts or car pulls? That’s what I miss.

12:58 What the?! Why's he look so different... went from boy to man

'To infinity and beyond' TM just buzzing :P

♦️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!!

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.

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.

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.

42:54 by far the longest throw if he learned to get to the box and not throw 3 feet away from the box

,🇵🇱POLISH POWER Win Second EVENT💥💪💪💪💪💪🔥

Shoutout to the people who have to carry these inhuman weights back after each and every try for the whole day long.

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

Rogue fitness is another great opportunity for people interested in competing gracefully🎯

Can you imagine if these guys entered PowerSlap?

great video!

আমি বাংলাদেশ থেকে দেখতেছি। শুভ কামনা রইলো সকল প্রতিযোগির জন্য 🇧🇩🇧🇩

Great video!

I say it's how far you throw it. The roll should also count.

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!).

I'd love to see Thor do this event. With his height, explosive athleticism and power he'd do well.

Perfect video to use the 2x fast forward feature on KZfaq

Would of liked a direct overhead footage to really see the distance.

Awesome

actually this is a big swiss tradition. We keep on using the same stone (83.5kg) since centuries

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.

Loved this, you very rarely see something like this in strongman contests.

@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?

Yes this stone throw is cool event

Someone in the crowd:“You’re my hero” Him:gives them the finger 😂 48:05

I love this competition

"That was just a triceps extension" lol

Go boys cheering for you

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.

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.

“They may not out live, but they will outlift us” is a crazy statement commentating

This makes no sense. Why are the 5’7 men compete with the 6’0+? Huge advantage

awkward but very fun event to watch. hilarious to see some of the straight-arm-throwing-techniques :D

Bjrs a tous chouette une nouvelle j adore cette emissions❤❤❤❤

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.

Pavlo in peak condition would have been right at the top pity he had injured knee.

Matteus seems like such a swell guy

The men's event videos are getting 10x the views 😂

Those guys have some stones.

I wonder if you could spin and throw it, like a hammer movement.

The guy who held it on his head 😹

Would have loved to have seen Thor do this event.

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.

Its just something to think about.

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!!

imagine picking a fight with one of these guys. They just pick you up and toss you away like it's nothing.

The trouble with this is it's yet another tall man event. Imo strongman should test strength and power, not size because 1. this is more in keeping with historical feats of strength and 2. size is not a trainable quality. If you want to know who's the tallest then just measure them. Any kind of loading to a high platform or stone lifting to a set height suffers from the same problem, as does throwing for height.

Bobby Thomson has no neck

Do think the run up helps i think a full squat and sort of basketball it two handed.

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.

they're throwing almost the average american!

They should have a camera overhead of the sandpit.. 🧠

Why is it called Arnold strongman? There are many strongman out there.

Arnold he wasn't in the strong performance! He was a body builder ther TWO DIFFERENT categories you Americans?.

Does the roll count. That was where we left off. She likes the toughness of a gun.

just saying if shaw or thor did this no contest theyed win

ممتاز جدا رائع

Hooper had a cushion under his hat
