The heats are out.

Loz has a breakdown. Not unbiased. Ortmayer has a good draw, he could do well depending on event selection for the heat. Shaw's been hanging out with Oberst too much, I think he may miss the final this year. Novikov has a good draw as well, IMO. I'm Team Travis, but Novikov looks good to repeat.

CNN claims there will be a Facebook Live with Martins Licis and Nick English doing behind the scenes and results.

Unbelievably stupid PR stunt from WSM...

Dude they are fucking this up on multiple levels!

Did you also here you will have to have a subscription to receive updates? (sorry could not find the video talking about it)

I guess that means more of the guys will be bringing their own food than usual. Talk about a mismatch, why would a vegan place even offer to do this? None of us are their target audience, we just make fun of them.

Because they're local and (I'm assuming) they (probably) see this as an opportunity to go more 'mainstream'... not for actual STRONGMAN ATHLETES, but for people who will see dumbass headlines like that, assume literally any of these guys are vegan, and get duped into trying out their weird engineered dirt burger...

Not knocking vegans but the post they (the fast food place) made is hilarious. They (the founders of fast food place) are 'no strangers to professional sports' because they were 'executives' in the NBA apparently, of which (they'll have you know) SOME OF THE PLAYERS ARE VEGAN! Apparently working on the management side of pro basketball of which they're may be a couple of plant based players makes you feel qualified to satisfy the nutritional needs of 300+ strongman athletes...

As far as the subscription thing I don't know for sure, but it would make sense as WSM is a TV show first and foremost and any content they give away ahead of time they're gonna want something for. Depends on the level of the content I suppose...

I could see like 1 time PPV type system. But I want to say it was $9 a month. For what? Foe how long?

I hope this is just rumors. I think it was on YT worlds strongest fan I heard about it.

Graham Hicks having to pull out of WSM '21 due to a groin injury. Gutting for him. Wonder who got called up in his place.

Gabe Pena is the alternate unless I missed something...

Peña would be a US alternate I would think, maybe. I have a feeling that a British alternate gets the call before anyone else, fair or not.

So my bad, you're right... and I saw that Hicks has been replaced by Ervin Toots...

Aaaaaaaaand Pena has withdrawn this morning.

Well. That's hard. I don't know if it's better or worse to know.

Something related to his heart condition I think...

Again. IDK maybe he needs to step back for awhile and get his heart right.

John Hansson was first to take a shot at the train pull, hearing he pulled on it for a full FAHVE sixty seconds without it budging an inch when they realized the brakes were engaged. Somehow they're blaming this on heat expansion? Anyway, they detached the head of the train and changed it to a push last minute... Hansson got to reattempt after everyone else went...

He won the event for his group anyway

I thought after him they had T-Rex give it a go also.

Surprises. Novikov doesn't make the finals among other surprises.

[zappey1]

How about Brian Shaw? Does he have 5 in him?

He certainly has been kill in it so far
