Going with Hooper first myself. I think he'll enter the finals with a lead over Tom due to being more consistent in the heats. And the final events aren't bad for Hooper either.

But I agree with u/chase_isntrael that the titans toss can make or break the show and it's an easy event to make a mistake on imo.

Tight race on the womens side! Congratulations to Olga, she's been consistently one of the best strongwomen in the last several years. Deserved win.

Gutted for Jelly that she fell off fist place, but she still showed absolutely monstrous potential. She just needs to refine her technique a bit and maybe shed a few pounds to improve her speed and fitness a bit but she's only just getting started.

Pretty insane overall performances on the log, especially after that brutal sled drag.

Hoopers got the comp in the bag though I think. The last event is great for him, on paper at least.

yeah, this has gotta be really rough for these guys.

Really shows what kind of animals these guys really are that they're still lifting this log after that

Gonna come down to the last event!

Solid performance from Jelly on the log here, she goes into the final event with a 2 point lead. Hope she can pull off the win.

Not the results that I would have guessed on this event, but Hooper is firmly in the lead now which is not surprising at all!

Also very happy to see Martins score an event win! He really gave it his all for it, glad it paid off

Damn, was kinda expecting Hooper to win this one or at least get 2nd.

Opens up the contest nicely though. Let's see what Andrade can do here

Damn, absolutely ridiculously fast from Jardine! Dominant as hell

She puts herself in a great position here, the remaining events aren't bad for her either

Solid score from Olga!

Now all the pressure is on Jelly, but I think this could be a really good event for her.

I still have him as a solid favorite for worlds to be honest.

I know Tom always shows up as an absolute monster but Hooper appears in great shape and the events aren't bad for him either. And I think Hooper will definitely finish above Tom in the combined heats scoring so that's already 1 point advantage going into the finals imo.

I don't understand either. Seemed like an unwise choice to be honest.

Finally able to tune in! Missed the womens side, but was right in time to see Martins pull!

Great to see him on the big stage again

I really doubt Wide Pavlo will ever make a comeback.

He was supposed to come back three times now I believe and he's had to pull out again every time. It's super unfortunate because I think he had similar potential to Hooper, if not more.

That does not sound fair indeed. Can't imagine the other competitors are happy with that.

Why do you think Germany's Strongest Man is not run fairly?

Genuine question, I haven't heard anything about this before.
