Sumo! To go along with dead lifting cheese and running with a refrigerator on your back. |

I love classic WSM. One event I wish they'd bring back the pole push, but I know a guy who had the task of sawing up and burning the pole push equipment so I guess it might not happen.

I actually watch a lot of sumo, too. The guy on the left here is still the biggest name in the sport:

I wish they would do armwrestling again but risk of injury is too high. Megaman broke his arm vs Samuelsson

Yeah that was a classic moment. There's a rumour Nathan Jones overdid the steroids to the point he was actually lactating.

There was a ladder push in one of the early rounds (Germany or Abu Dhabi) of the Strongman Championship League last year. We've got the 2018 contest on UK TV at the mo. It has been on since December. One of the things that annoys me about WSM is that here in Blighty, it is shown on TV over Christmas, even though the result is known by June. It would be nice to see the womens contest too. |

Armbreaks happen in armwrestling but 99% of the time it's the humerus that breaks because of bad positions that apply a lot of shearing forces on the bone. Nathan Jones armbreak in the forearm was very unusual.. then again he wasn't a usual human being to begin with haha |

I love watching the final on New Year's day, watching 30 stone men trying not to pass out in Africa in the summer while we try not to slip on the ice, but it's quite tricky to avoid finding out who the winner is online. |
