[Closed] Tonight, Ch5, 8pm, the highlight of the sporting year

Now you’ve got Norfolk’s maddest man.

I think you're a ****ing dick mate.

The final, now showing.

Are WADA involved in any of this? 😆

Ahhh so that's where the World's supply of steroids went (watching at the mo)

It's a blood vessel bursting bonanza! 😀

7pm but close enough. Been watching it for years - then the darts. My new years day standard fair 🙂

I think you're a **** dick mate.

I think he's a s****horpe

It’s not new year until i’ve Seen a man towing a truck with his teeth

Interesting use of the S****horpe problem for swear filter evasion 😯

Big Z should maybe have stayed quit.

Did Hall say why he was quitting?

Did Hall say why he was quitting?

Yes. Having fulfilled his long held dream of being the WSM and the sacrifices he has made to achieve it, he now wants to be a father and a husband to his family. Or something like that. Rather emotional as it goes and brought tears to my eyes.

Or am I meant to STW-fy it and complain about the amount of dust in the room? 🙄

Men cry too shocker 😉

Watched the final last night, thought it was great, Hall showed true grit throughout, although you could also see how much Bjornsson wanted it.
Very emotional at the end, you were left in doubt how much it meant to Hall to get the win.

Yeah - the room went dusty for me as well. Great win for the man. Love the at you have these 200kg+ blokes in bits - big softies like the rest of us.

And seeing someone deadlift 472.5kg 😯 . I can only dream!

And seeing someone deadlift 472.5kg

Fairly sure he did 500kg at the deadlift-only contest some while back.

Unreal.

I had no idea what this thread was about 😉 . I wanted Hapfthor to win but great to see Eddie Hall winning it. Fantastic to see considering. I wonder how they've compared over the last few seasons of strongman comps - I get the impression the WSM competition is more of a TV gimmick than the real deal so to speak.

There's a brilliant documentary on Netflix. not The Beast about Eddie Hall, it's a different one that covers all the top competitors and centres around The Arnold Classic. Fascinating viewing.

Think I might have added that to my list, thanks. I tried watching 'The Beast" but I had to tap out. No offence to Eddie but I could only hear him cry poverty so many times while his wife was driving a Bentley. Granted, not a new one, but still not a transport choice you make on the breadline.
