And i'm not sure we could have put together two men to make
more noise, than we're probably gonna get now, ladies and gentlemen.
In lane number one representing the UK, please raise it up one more time for Laurence Shahlaei!!!
Laurence Shahlaei has made the noise tonight.
An in lane number two, representing Scotland, please raise it up for the 'Highland Oak' Luke Stoltman
what a start from both men, Luke with his nose in front, but Loz hot on his heels. Shahlaie with the
third, but can he get it on there and he has done but it's Stoltman with four. There it is and one more
for the highland oak. Look at at this from Luke and it's there and that's fast, wow! that is quick.
Luke Stoltman

bill Kazmaier is with Laurence Shahlaie
Laurence Shahlaie - what a remarkable career
comebacks time and time again many injuries i could be standing here for a half hour
describing all the wonderful things you've done in the world of strength
but to see you do those stones and come back on that fifth and just knock it out of the park
you are an incredible strong man! what do you have to say? that means a lot coming from you Bill um
it's just been an amazing, amazing journey lots of ups and downs, i've had an amazing career i've won
i think i'm second all time with British athletes winning international shows
um this has been incredible though tonight what a place to go out in front of so many fans
i know i want to thank Darren and Colin because they do a great job, i probably give them more
[ __ ] than anyone to try and get the sport better; but they do an awesome job, and i thank
you both for letting me compete here one last time. Well you've done such an amazing thing competing
and with all those championships but then, that's on the court, off the court you've influenced a
lot of people and helped a lot of young people come towards the sport of physical culture and
you'll continue to do that i'm sure but i want you to know from the bottom of my heart i'm
almost teared up, you're gonna be missed Loz, i'll tell you that so thank you for everything you've
done for the sport, you're one hell of a strong man! thank you Kaz, i thank all of you thank you
ladies and gentlemen, the great european champion from England, Laurence Shahlaei standing ovation
decibel meter popped off the top of the roof when he finished that last stone! Laurence
Shahlaei, ladies and gentlemen big Loz official. i'm also here with head referee four-time world
strongest man Magnus Ver, mate let's hear the time for the highland oak five stones and 22.66 wow! 22
66 mate, you looked really really happy and rightly so with that stone run. now you helped your brother
out a number of times with some fast stones but it looks like you've been doing a little bit of stone
training with that boy, because your potential is through the roof right now mate! i mean i don't
know what to say really it's just um i was going to do one event today and pull out because my
i've had some issues with my tendons and stuff but this crowd, jeez man you guys, um this is this is
my job to do this. I know it, the reason i carry on doing this when i'm pretty battered is because i
know what it's like to be working you know for 14 15 hours a day, you know and that's that sucks so
for me to do this this is easy this is you know, we had Liam saying about, you know, his illness
and stuff - so those type of people really inspire me, and i'm just so happy doing a good performance.
so thank you so much guys i love you man it's awesome thank you and before we let you go mate
obviously now, it's been onwards and upwards for the Stoltman brothers, your baby brother
has been the World's Strongest Man, i know myself and everybody in this crowd would absolutely love
to see you the World's Strongest Man Luke Stoltman, are you gonna do that? can you do that for us mate?
