Giants Live & World’s Strongest Man: Where to Watch?
Most strength fans understand that World’s Strongest Man has long since been done and dusted before it reaches our television screens at Christmas time. Tuning into the sports’ greatest contest, including the Giants Live WSM Arena Tour qualification shows, couldn’t be simpler and there are a multitude of ways to make sure you don’t miss a single rep of the action!
Strongman has come a fair way since the late 70’s, when it first appeared on our TV screens. Back then there was no such thing as a fully professional strongman, but as the sport has grown, competitive opportunities have multiplied and the superhuman athletes we see today are regularly producing performances that the likes of Jón Páll Sigmarsson and Geoff Capes would not have dreamt possible.
The sport is now a global spectator event and opportunities to watch the world’s most powerful men and women have also expanded rapidly. This includes live attendance of contests, such as the Giants Live Arena Tour, live streaming, YouTube, and other social media platforms, and of course television; the traditional way to enjoy log pressing and stone lifting – at Christmas time, of course.
