How to make a programme unwatchable. Constant lead in set pieces with the presenter and Eddie hall. Not to mention as many ad breaks as possible. Bring back the old BBC production with Adam Dickerson

Terrible coverage, the second part only showed one part of one event. K'ski in the press one of the most impressive moments I've ever seen on wsm.

I reckon I could probably press one of those 60kg DBs, and that'd be me done

Giants live coverage is great, very strange. Thor was injured have to keep that in mind. Should have had truckpull and conventional deadlift in there as well. The sport seems to be going backwards, the production values are poor, the producers are obviously young and understand nothing about the sport, most of the pieces are slow mo fillers for people weaned on social media. Should go back to the squat rack with barrels that drop in. Easy to understand. And bring back farmers walk with lanes and anchor pull, with 4 competitors across the course. Fingals fingers, car walk, where's the old stuff gone.

What I find annoying is that it all happened six months ago and I’ve known since then who won. I’m sure I’ve heard that the UK are the last country to show the competition every year. Kind of takes the shine off the (already a bit tedious) programme when you know who’s going to win frown

Only 5 events means that it's just as much about luck than it is about outright strength and stamina. One slip, one bad event and the best competitor can be out of the running.

... and they can't even be bothered to show all the runners and riders for that pitiful amount of events. I'm sure when I was a kid, it was 10-12 comptitors over 10 rounds, over a couple of days. Everyone was shown in every event and the events were always different and interesting.

Also in term of physical build the winner wasn't a freakazoid like the above, on a side note the arm wrestling round was always fun.
