Was the contest rigged?

shaw pls go

Imma be honest I didn't think he would win, maybe third place.

I saw Thor was bitching about how they didn't count his 15th rep on Viking Press. Could someone tell me what "double-dipping" is? I don't see how his 15th rep was different from any of his other really.

Driving twice with your legs, for an easier press.

>>41611872

Ehhhh I could see how they'd call that, but it looks more to me like he's just locking his legs out rather than a second push

>>41611797
>Thor does 15 reps
>Eddie just does 16
I don't see why he's crying.

I don't know, Eddie looked pretty spent after the Viking press.

Speaking of the Nordic pirates of thousand years ago, do you think Eddie Hall has viking genetics?

>>41611963
He certainly sounds Viking as fuck in this video:

He has Saxon genetics.

Saxons are the cousins of the Norse.

Saxon Power.

As for the competition, I do think they consciously picked events that would suit him, if for no other reason that they want him to drop some weight because him dying at 30 would be bad pr for the sport.

But I don't think they outright rigged it by cheating Hafthor of a rep.

This. I don't think the refs screwed Thor and Shaw, but the organizers clearly set the contest up in Eddie's favor as much as they could without giving points for looking like Zangief.

>>41611937

This.
Eddie wasn't even push pressing like Thor was.
Eddie could have had 20 reps on the viking press if he'd needed to.

Thor is being a whiny faggot, which is a shame, I like him.

yeah, event itself seemed fair and square, but the disciplines were really heavy on static strength this time, and Eddie is the strongest guy on regular DL/squat/(binch)press.

Wonder what the future holds for him, he might smash some PL records as a next goal
