[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1008434, member: 58362"] Until there's a standard set of events, or a transparent way of drawing events out from a pool of events, suspicions of favouritism will always do the rounds. I remember the 56lbs weight for height mysteriously appearing the year that Gregor Edmunds (highland games competitor and son of Dougie) made the worlds! The thing I've subscribed to is run be the organisers, so I don't see why you don't think that it's an official way of finding out the results. Unless it is written into contracts that it can't be streamed, I don't know why the organisers don't give it a go, but it's a massive challenge. WSM is primarily a TV production, whereas any other show that I've seen streamed is designed for a live audience. Much as I enjoy the sport, if the storm hits, there's no way that I want to watch 25 different competitors in succession do a squat for max. I couldn't even see myself dedicating a couple of working days to watching the final. It's like the difference between live streaming a play and a movie. I can't imagine that spoilers are a worry for anyone these days. I used to avoid visiting strongman websites / forums / newsgroups from the contest date onwards each year so that I could watch things unford on TV without spoilers, but times move on and the world is a much smaller place. Eddie Hall's win in 2017 made the MSM. [/QUOTE]
