The strongest evidence we know of that Christmas is just around the corner is that World's Strongest Man is being shown on Channel 5. We're catching up now.

#WorldsStrongestMan

Sure, the competitors in #WorldsStrongestMan tonight were impressive, but if the binmen manage to lift my glass recycling box tomorrow with the number of empties I’ve produced over the Christmas fortnight, they’re stronger than all of them together.

Catching up on some festive period broadcasts of World's Strongest Man, which covers the competition held earlier in 2024. Lovely to see Rob Kearney compete in his final event and all the rainbow beards on display. Great talk about the importance of representation in the sport. The "World's Strongest Gay" was much-loved by everyone. There were tears.

From an advert with Eddie Hall in his budgie smugglers to the budgie breeder himself. Lovely tribute to Geoff Capes in #WorldsStrongestMan there.

Last bit of recorded TV to catch up on now and it's the obligatory bit of festive period viewing: World's Strongest Man.

I'm very pleased that #worldsStrongestMan is back on the telly from Saturday!

It's one of the happiest, friendliest, nicest competitive sports on TV. A real joy to watch every year, they're just such a lovely bunch of people!

'World's Strongest Gay' to retire after strongman event - Outsports

Rob Kearney can lift prodigious amounts of weight. But his biggest success has been as an advocate for LGBTQ athletes.

Mitchell Hooper - whatta man! Outstanding performance from start to finish!
He seems like a really nice guy, too.
I would love to go and see one of these competitions live one day.
I really like the Ukrainians Novikov and Kordiyaka, and Welsh Strongman Gavin Bilton (who gets extra points from me for using the word "behemoth" in an interview).
Aww, thank you Channel Five for the coverage!
Until the next year (& I will be on channel 4555).

I would love to know about some of the training involved in #WorldsStrongestMan /Strongmen competitions.
Heh, would you hire a bus/empty car park for bus pulling practise...
Has Mark Felix ever received any recognition anywhere for being such a Strongman icon? (I will Google, but maybe not yet in case of any spoilers! You never know...)
The man is incredible!
