[Applause] stronger I'm World's Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper we are in London England and
we are competing at the Royal Albert Hall in the Giants live strongman classic event number
one is nickelstones event number two is the Yoke carry event number three deadlift for reps event
4 Viking press rounding it out with event five on the Atlas Stones there's no arguing that this
is one of the strongest and toughest lineups in professional Strong man I mean hell we have both
the Stoltman Brothers we have Trey Mitchell, Kevin Faires, Eddie Williams Rongo Keane, Iron
Bibby and other one I mean World's Strongest Man Mitch Hooper seriously the lineup for the
Royal Albert Hall is going to be a dog fight there's not going to be a clear winner there's
not anybody can win this show. Event number one is the Nickel Stones in competition I've done twice
or three times this style I've set one world record for the Denny replica hold at the Rogue
Invitational and then I came second last year at the Giants Live world tour finals on this set of
stones my PB is 23 meters and change I think I could definitely chase that further that being
said I think whatever I do Kevin Faires is probably going to go out and do more the likelihood on this
is second place so long as the arousal and the excitement is high enough that the pain the thumb
becomes a secondary politicism on display earlier tonight and I'm sure it will be throughout the
night but little stumble there Bill and corrects it well he's fine measure that stride it's five
inches longer than anybody tonight he's covering some ground making a smooth turn world record old
world record he's got a hooked on Evan, Evan get that point beat Evan his mental approach is second
to none at ten he's not winded he's not tired he's headed to the 20. genuine athlete Kevin Faires
and he is one of those guys who's a constant Dark Horse you never know what he's going to produce
we saw it in Glasgow he's already approaching that 20 meter line and he looks pretty solid
and there is the turn steady in the cell and starts to Mike his way the old world record let's see it
come on Kevin the white desk do it and more steady away for Faires he can see where he needs
to get to trying to maintain the position of the storm almost using his legs to balance them
there Bill beautiful stride look at that left leg go flying out there he's doing really well
to balance these stones and make a great pace gotta get to that 10. 15 and now 20.
all the way going really well here but we're almost up to 20 meter line made a strategy gets
onto the line there and turns this is [Applause] unbelievable and he's got 10 second rest
Darren's gonna tell him when he's got to go he's got to go now
[Applause]
I love it love your work love your work [Applause]
that is truly phenomenal that's Royal Albert Hall performance this building
this crowd these athletes brings the best out in the guys [Music] thank you
[Music]
Event 2 yoke 450 kilos a thousand pounds for 20 meters as fast as you can this is a timed event I
really can't see anybody outside of me and Mitch battling out for first and second yoke is that's
just my event it's just what comes naturally to me I think we run yoke a thousand times over as
confident as some other guys might be out of a thousand times I win at 950 in the 50 that I don't
win it it's because I Stumble I'm not sure anyone else in the worlds could beat me if I have a good
solid plane run Battle of the Brewers at the Royal Albert Hall listen for the whistle guys [Music]
on the way both of both of the Stoltmans exploded great mix come
get onto a little bit late but his brother's coming up fast [Applause]
control both guys little bump over the line from Luke ¡wow! super quick just 12.21, 12.21 ladies and gentleman for Tom
Evan Singleton pixel and blasts off now this 20 meter course Kevin Faires steady away from
¡wow! Bill so smooth it's so fast now that's making a statement [Applause]
was appalling in Lane number two hails from Canada he is known as the Moose
raise it up and riff it up a for Mitchell Hooper
were are on the way Bill and Hooper is smooth ¡wow! look at that from Mitchell Hooper [Applause] my word
what can you say Neil what determination what time you go there 10 seconds
I think you have to be a great athlete first I think your strength from your knee through
your foot has to be really good uh your your hip stability has to be really good you have
to match your hip stability to your foot width so if you're having difficulty with your your hips
and we're rocking left to right you're going to get used to having your feet a little bit wider
to get a little bit more leverage at the hip to stop yourself from swinging side to side and then
focus on really short shuffling steps I think as soon as we take a long step the Yoke tilts
off to the side and that's when you're going to have big issues but if you haven't played a sport
where you've run before it's highly unlikely that you're going to be good at the yolk which
is why you'll take a very very strong power lifter that guy usually isn't the best at you
[Applause] [Music]
event three 360 kilo Axle Deadlift for reps I'm looking personally I am looking to set
a new PR every time that I do this event I always hit five reps and I gas out I have
been working really hard on my deadlift for reps I have tweaked a couple of things with
my technique that I think will help me on on the day of competition and I'm looking to set
a new personal best of at least six if not seven that would be really really good points and that
would be good points going into the the fourth event which is definitely something that I need
number one this one represents the United States of America raise it up for the T-Rex Evan Singleton
[Applause]
platform number two looking focus and determined as ever is the Moose MItchell Hooper
on two Singleton in one both men solid and steady in these balls Bill Kazmaier speed is important you save
time [Applause] you can see how efficient pooper is the effort is there the breath and then explode
there is rep seven from Mitchell Hooper
Evan Singleton had enough there I think Mitchell hoof button knows he's done enough as he so often
does Super just edges over the line what an impressive athlete this man is Hooper
don't believe we have the the best dead lifters meaning that I think this one for me is probably
just like the yuck another one where if I'm going to win the competition I'm going to win
that event as well so I think that's going to be another ¡um! another strong finish and that's
the first half of the calm I mean I think I'll go second first first in the first ¡uh! three events
foreign Viking press 150 kilos for reps event 4 is the Viking press and I think in this competition
is going to be an interesting one we ¡uh! we have a lot of incredible pressures here we've got Bibby
who's the best press in the world we've got Evan who's got the world record we've got Trey who
rarely loses a long pressing competition trading has been uh pretty good for the Viking press like
¡uh! I'm looking to be one of the top ¡uh! athletes hopefully win it obviously in honestly I've never
ever done a proper vacuum test before ever in competition I've only ever trained on the trustee
old Viking press we've had in the gym since I think I started the gym 20 21 years old [Applause]
here we go [Applause] oh man rocket at this thing
Mitchell Hooper on two excellent lifting from both men Bill looking just beautiful
neck and neck man against man against machine they know how important this is
[Applause]
my rocket ship they're unbelievable 13 for Mitch 17. for Tom Stoltman ¡wow! ¡wow! ¡wow!
¡wow! unbelievably explosive there Bill Kazmaier from the boy
seven reps, eight reps without even taking a breath finally be Breeze T-Rex may actually be human
Singleton hits the world [Music] records there he goes on 16 Bill Kazmaier 17 gets a little
wolf white on the back of a neck and big thick it's still going mentioned
Record Trey Mitchell ¡wow!
near the speed at number 18 was phenomenal probably faster than number 10, 11 and 12.
¡wow! Trey Mitchell five reps beyond the old record
standard here is just pushing it to a new level Evan Singleton of course doing 17 reps there
alongside Tom Stoltman, Mitchell Hooper 14 reps over the old record match there so there is just
one point in this contest going into the Atlas Stones and look at that Tom Stoltman plugging
away is on 35 and a half he too could win this contest and he's not a bad Stone lifter the
begin event five is the at the stones and this is also known as the who comes second to Tom Stoltman
contest finishing off strong we have the heavy set of stones we're starting at 120 and we are
ending at 200. these are heavy stones and it's five stones with descending height for ascending
weight as fast as possible time stops when your hands come off of the last Stone so even if you've
got a few point lead going into the final event and something where you have to be very clean
¡uh! and it's the heavier set of stones so you don't have to be super super fast but you certainly have
to be deliberate and a small slip up can cost you a victory in the competition just like it did to
me in Wales last year I think it was anyone's game obviously people have their favorites but this is
one one mistake and you've lost you've lost a kind of Podium or your first place spot because
these are kind of just a back to basic events and we're also used to these events but it's just you
know someone might strong might uh get too buzzed up and stuff and we've got Evan Singleton as well
he's had a really very good history at the Royal Albert Hall as well and I think he's done third
and second and he'll be watching the gold trophy as well so yeah there's a lot of good athletes
here and it's going to be a good show for everyone me and Tom I believe are going to be the two
¡um! head guys ¡uh! you know it's this Castle Stones are a little bit lighter than morals
the last stone is 200 kilos and like I can pretty much go do as many reps as I want
torn was 200 kilos so we just ¡uh! try and be quick with it and you know fashion efficient
[Applause]
Here we go who wants it most who can finish strongest of the strongman classic [Applause]
on the way we go Stoltman blast down there the first stone is on the second stone is on and he's ready to Mitchell chasing him
down but Stoltman accelerates and has three hits the third time
that's just what darker
from a giant storm unbelievable and Trey Mitchell is still rolling
Mitchell needs to try to luck by couldn't do say to. Make some noise and the Royal Albert
Hall listen for the whistle from Darren Sadler the Castle Stones to finish it off [Applause] [Music]
of the way we go both men blaze down the course round
to the second Stone hoop with a little miss-up and he has grown to make up now
as Evan Singleton is moving through the Stones fall in place [Applause]
Singleton slapping the fifth and Hooper trying to fight is way back in here and Singleton T-Rex
hits that fifth stone and he is fired up fired up
unbelievable
what happened to that goal it was eaten by the Rex and right now Mitchell Hooper struggling
on that fourth Stone hopefully no injuries there just some damage but he raises a lot
did you let us back down in the stones or what [Applause] every single ounce of determination
Blood Sweat and Tears that I put into the sport I put all out on display today I gave
everything tonight and first of all thank all of you, you guys were awesome yeah, yeah
we can't do this without all of you so thank you, thank you, nice job Evan Singleton
big Applause please one more time it's a decimal level
Evan Singleton what a champ gonna be a World Strongest Man someday [Applause]
