When Thor was at his peak, he was a specimen and unbeatable in strongman.

[bagaskarahadjarputra]

2018 Thor was something else on the planet, no weakness and consistently a threat. With his overall 5 wins back in 2018, he was a static monster. If his health could be on par with his great performance, I believe he would still competing big time from the last 3 years after his big 2020's deadlift.

Thor's 2019 Europe's Strongest Man was his comfortable win, just need to win 1 event and keep consistent on the top 3 for the rest of the comp. Just to prove once again Giants Live was his nice "playground"

[giovannicupello]

There is no more debate on this. Brute strength, static lifts, functional strength, athleticism and overall well roundness, or any of the criteria or combination you take, peak Thor is the Strongest Man of all-time.

[easteuropeanviking]

The more we watch Thor, the more we miss him. I'm closely following Thor's recovery from his socials and praying he will be back, stronger than ever! His surgeon really did a fantastic job. If we can set aside the animosity and have Thor back, it will be the best for the sport. A lot of people left the sport once he retired and as you rightly said, Thor in his prime is the Strongest Man to have EVER lived! It was such an electrifying experience (specially for an iron addict) to see him live. The sport has never been the same despite so many new faces and marketing wizardry from all the strongman bodies combined.

Colin, Darren, why don't you fly to Iceland and meet him? Thor is a kind person and in my opinion, you should take the initiative on this.

[JonDeth]

*He's the most overlooked competitor and that can unfortunately be accredited to his acting fame and the shadow it cast on his career as a professional athlete. His wins and records weren't talked about much in the sport's media up until the last 2 or 3 years. It's not been very long.*
I do think as time goes on and the sports fame and popularity grows, his chapter in it's history book will become a popular reference amongst fans and professionals.

[wanderroberto]

couldnt move on the video watching the girl behind doing triceps without a single knowledge of how it has to be done haha

[spokeen]

Giants live trying hard to rekindle that relationship with Thor now his comeback is imminent

[ednabutler]

Tom had an incredible aesthetic physique for an average size man, to be in that shape at 6 ft 8 is insane.

[marklev]

How humbling for Luke and Tom stoltman. Thor slipped over in the anchor, and still beat them.

[ednabutler]

Damn Iron Biby just effortlessly pressed my max deadlift overhead 😢

[eamonngoss]

So Colin/Darren (or whoever’s operating the page). Do you think we’ll ever see Thor back at a Giants Live in some capacity? I think all the real fans would love to see the relationship mended.

[andrewwl]

Colin looking like Vince McMahon at the start.

[ValentinG]

this was so easy for Thor, like stealing candy from a baby, i love how he didn’t even bother for the last 2 stones 😂😂😂

[josef]

If Larry worked on his technique in the log press he would’ve gotten that lift. He didn’t even use his legs lol

[rajae]

I'm the legend in the making 🕊️🤍🕊️🤍

[tabascojoe]

Anyone know how long a Giants live show is?

[arniekando]

Did he not just have major surgery ???

[Gamer-dude]

Yeah, i don't think so, won WSM ONCE, losers don't get to celebrate greatness and only the winners do. (people always trying to dilute Pudz achievments, just like saying Ali was the greatest over Marciano, it just aint true)

[PontiacLS]

He was never the strongest ever. Big Z was way more powerful

[hannahmaebeaver]

So after major surgery.
Your strongest ever.
That would indicate a full healing recovery.
Ok Thor keep pushing forward.
Crush it onward.
