TaylorJ_01 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 So there we go, the current champion (2009, final was just shown tonight on Bravo) is Zydrunas Savickas! So happy for the guy. Ashame for the legend that is Mariusz Pudzianowski - won the competition 5 times which is unbelievable. Good show by the Englishman Terry Hollands although he aint getting any younger. What was ridiculous was the amount of time they dragged it out for! In the old days they covered it over 4-5 days on channel 5. Now Bravo got it and it spans over about 6 weeks. They pulled planes and all sorts. Was a truly awesome final. Anyway, in the thread - people who don't care/didn't watch it. 1st - Zydrunas Savickas http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Kq3s8GRWBks/RqJ-pxinPXI/AAAAAAAAAA0/n6yNzJ88vts/s320/1155287301_2.jpg 2nd - Mariusz Pudzianowski http://urdirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/mariusz-pudzianowski1.jpg 3rd - Brian Shaw http://www.warriorsedge.ws/product_images/uploaded_images/Brian_wsm_stone.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I'm shocked at the lack of giant norsemen named Magnus. Magnus Samuelsson has to be my favourite. What a guy. Absolute giant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Magnus Samuelsson was a legend. Does John Inverdale still present this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Magnus Samuelsson was a legend. Does John Inverdale still present this? It's actually Martin Bayfield. I'm not sure if Inverdale commentates though. What I just found out is they record the finals in APRIL and show them THE FOLLOWING JANUARY! Why the fuck? Surely that's crazy.

Karjala Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 such a shame Channel4/5 dont show it any more, was always a highlight of the festive period tv! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Exactly. And it was better when it was shown over a few days rather than 2 months. I skipped half of the episodes because I couldn't be arsed watching when I knew who would get to the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 In about it lads. No spoilers obv. Hope we get an Englishman to the finals at least. Mark Felix should manage if he's in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomato Deuce Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 The token Chinese fella because it was in China who was on yesterday was absolutely shite.

TaylorJ_01 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 The token Chinese fella because it was in China who was on yesterday was absolutely s****. Ended with 3 points. Considering you get a point for starting and there's 6 events, it was pretty much impossibly bad silly Long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
