    Re: Matt, he's the first NZ Strongman to make it to a WSM final Colm didn't (despite being very talented) way back there was a guy Levi Vaoga he was good but never made it to a WSM Final as a New Zealander I wish Matt all the best.

    • @rochellejones2449
      @rochellejones2449 Před 3 měsíci +2

      Big fan here from NZ - technically Alan Hallberg was the first New Zealander in a Worlds Strongest Man final, when in 1983 believe it or not WSM was in Christchurch, NZ. Of course in the modern era with the group phases Matt is the first. Multiple NZ strongest man in the late 80’s era Colin Cox from Napier competed in the WSM heats at least one year as did Levi Vaoga (of Mitre Ten Mega “big is good” fame) in later years but neither made it to the finals. Let’s hope Matt keeps improving, stays healthy and one day we might have a kiwi as Worlds Strongest Man

    Mitch and Tom are definitely the main contenders but I can see Matt slipping past if he gets real lucky and they're both off on the day

    Hey Loz would it be possible to put up a link to the Ragg t-shirts for us folk not on insta?
    Lots of the strongmen aren't as prominent on social media promotion- which is understandable, they're athletes not marketers. Maybe something to think about as a wider Loz merch platform if the athletes would like?
