For a man with such low body weight to win a bus pull is insane. Shows such incredible drive and technique from Oleksii, he only has 1 WSM win so far but he is arguably the best and most consistent strongman in this new era
I'm really interested to see what Hooper can pull off in 2023. He had a really respectable time here despite his form looking pretty all over the place, as I believe it was basically his first time ever doing it.
@@cristiangamboa2037 I think if he comes in like he has basically every show SINCE world's he could win this year. I'm a big Tom stoltman fan but Mitch has been an absolute monster his rookie year
One of the lightes pulls in the last years based on the easy start. Lot of guys with not the best techniq. Wondeirng why Shaw was not on the top. In his prime time he was one of the best. Novikov was just insanse, he wanted it at most.
Man you look at the bus and think dam that’s going to be hard, but all these guys just crushed it! Sure it required heaps of exertion but they all finished it in 50 seconds or less basically which is very impressive considering some of the airplane pulls of recent years none of the guys finished it (peak Thor, Shaw etc. included)
The unfinished plane pulls were universal(right?) , and are due to the inclined ends of the route, where nobody finishes, like Pfisters bus pull in 2006. Pulling 200 some, maybe close to 300 kg, is different than suddenly needing to pull 400, 500,700,800 kg to finish, maybe more for the last part, where only a torqy vehicle could do so, hence the small difference in distance between the top and bottom guys.
@@petershortland478 he had to win this event though. Impossible to beat tom at stones, and he was barely leading him. It didnt work out, but it was the right strategy
For being on the lighter (and shorter) side of pro strongman, dude has some absolutely insane power. Amazing how see how he always seem to have a few more % energy in the tank.
The man taking in the slack rope obviously has his favourites , check the difference between novikov or licis and stoltman, hes helping pull then leaving it slack as hell, it should be consistent , I wouldnt be surprised if that made a big difference
This is pass out competition too. Try concept 2 rowing with full power this long you know even resistance not same. I did and 10minutes was almost unconscious. It feels real bad. I am an endurance athlete myself. These mens could die doing this, just saying. So hard.
