[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1054559, member: 58362"] Thanks. The log was weird, lots of competitors seemed to be struggling not to fall backwards after they made the clean. Presumably the log had been used plenty of times before, so it's hard to imagine that was the problem, which is why I was wondering about the floor. Matt Rhodes mentioned something about the getting in competitor's eyes and putting them off, but I don't see why that would make them stumble backwards. I did wonder whether Luke Stoltman was better off just having his own performance to worry about rather than being at the comp with his brother. Obviously the way the log lift played out handed a pretty big advantage to him and Novikov, but it was still a good performance from him to beat Novikov. Nothing will happen until a proper world strongman federation comes along and takes control of the sport, but I worry about the number of athletes who are flogging their bodies to death, in this instance Bish. If The Championship is the Wild West of rugby, strongman is the Wild West of strength sport and I fear that someone will suffer a serious injury by losing consciousness through exhaustion. [/QUOTE]
