Does anyone think Thor will not win again this year? he seems to be on fine form again.
Be interesting to see the battle for 2-5, Licis, Kieliszkowski, and Shaw will be up their, plus Stoltman, big Loz & Adam Bishop could also be pushing for it too. Can;t help notice how the qualifier heats are set up to keep the big names separate :

Whats brian shaw like these days? Dont follow it like but obvz know him!

Is he old?
 
I think Thor will win again.
I was hoping he'd do Big Dogs (his coach Seb Oreb said he was probably going to) but he wants to win a few more WSM titles and he is as stong as ever. Can't really see anyone else but Shaw pushing him it all.
Klieszowski (sp) is a machine and will def win a few events but don't think he'll have a big enough points total overall.
 
Shaw will get injured again at worst and at best perform below his best, he’s not had long enough since his injury i don’t reckon.


Thor should piss it this year really, he’s too far ahead of the rest.
 
Young Tom Stoltman stands more a chance of placing than his brother imo.
Unsure when it happens but he's also due to move to Dubai eat sleep n train strongman via his sponsors. Circa 3-5 month period. So that might be for the build up to WSM
 
WSM is in a couple of weeks time.
Maybe that's his plan for the 2020 WSM prep? He'll certainly be a contender in future years, with the likes of Larry Wheels, Iron Bibi & Tom, theres some good talent on the way in.
