11:00 “Eddie how difficult was it, those final metres for Mitchell”

Why not ask Mitchell, you’re literally interviewing him.

[anray]

Mitchell Hooper endured that impressively.

[BL-hjht]

Hooper was like "I don't always carry 400 pound shields around, but when I do, I crip walk"

[oktaviu]

Loved it how Tom was cocky and all and Hooper outperformed him right after

[runtimus]

The ref says "turn" and then calls it back, such a odd decision.

[Eminim]

Hooper is 28 years old and destroyed everyone. He will be dominating for awhile at his age. 2024 he will win too

[simondean]

The ref told pavlo to turn, he should have been given the full distance.

[johanjotun]

we're witnessing the birth of a pothole at the end of each carry

[adamborivoj]

Pavlo clearly didn't cross the line but the referee clearly gave it to him. Bad judging in my opinion. Why do you even have just 1 judge for 2 athletes?

[i_am_fatman]

Poor tom and kordiyaka..
What a fighter hooper nd novikov.

[Subgenrelol]

Hooper is an animal. I remember the first year I saw him compete (2021 maybe?) I knew he was going to be monstrous in another year or two. Also insane how fast the Slavs are, they just dominate in the speed department

[centr]

They got a forklift to move the shields back to the line lol

[miladirani]

I love natural events, this events is something you see in real life, i doing like this with boxes in our company

[steelrehn]

Props to Thragg for his superb acting skills as if a 400+ lb shield would be a challenge.

[krush]

I was there in person and only a year later can I actually see the competition in general and there aren't even jackasses on ladders blocking the way.

[MrUsermillion]

Poor officiating. Should have called him back instantky

[BrokenSkateboarding]

I love how this casually was happening like it wasn’t happening in my hometown

[randomnumbers]

Nice to see Ol Eddie on the other side of the mic now.

[badjaeaux]

i don't know where they've been all my life, these are my viking brothers

[ice_cream_man]

Хупер на характере буквально выгрыз этот метр - молодец
