Anyone following World's Strongest Man this year?

Like every year, the dinosaurs that manage WSM are taping the show for television, instead of streaming the event for the fans.

Frustrating, but you can follow the results on Strongman Archives:

I'm annoyed because my two favorites are lobbed into Group 3 of the qualifying heats. Mitch Hooper is having a ridiculous Rookie year and I could see him wining the whole show. On the other hand Matheusz Kieliszkowski was amazing before his injuries and now that he's back, I want him to power through to the podium. His speed has always been awesome to witness.

I'd also love to see Oleksi Novikow or Handsome Pavlo win. Those Ukrainians are ridiculously good.

Brian Shaw is competing for the last time this year. It would be cool if he managed to get the fifth WSM title but I think his prime was 5 or 6 years ago.

Fuuuck Kieliszkowski came in 5th in the loading race! I hope this was some fluke.

Edit: Apparently he fumbled one of the implements. Okay. I was afraid he was injured or out of shape.

But this sucks because he will lose more points on the deadlift machine. God damn it, I want him in the finals.

Doesn't seem to be a Strongman following here. Oh well.

Mitch Hooper has delivered and has maintained a lead in the finals. Really hope he keeps it up. I want him or Novikov to win. Two more events to go!

These men appear to be quite strong

They are arguably stronger than average.
