ive seen the last 2 heats they have shown (well missed the last 5 mins of last nights)

im a bit bewildered about the carrying barrells through water task... i think its getting too far away from what strongman should be... too much technique/endurance rather than a feat of strength... and to have it as the last event (the one where marunde - sp? - went out) i think was a bit unfair, with it being a new event to my knowledge its down to the guy who "stumbles" upon the best technique that wins... rather than giving the competitors an opportunity to really push themselves and do soemthimng special to qualify... the atlas stones or farmers walk/stone carry is a much better event as the last event as they know that if they need to beat someone to qualify then all they need to do is dig deep and push as hard as they can! - much more exciting too!
