Worlds 2026 Recap: Men's division

I'd be remiss if I didn't say, my God, Matt, you did a phenomenal job.

People were unsure.

This is not new in sports.

In the Olympics, I can tell you right now, as a Canadian...

Hockey is massive.

We start playing hockey here at three years old.

I shit you not.

I'm not being funny.

Three years old.

People are learning to skate.

They put a freaking hockey stick in your hand.

It's called Timbits hockey and it's adorable, but it's legit.

And.

All over the world, there are Olympic teams, tons of European teams that have Canadian head coaches.

This is normal practice, and I'm just using hockey, but this is normal practice in all sports, wrestling, whatever.

You go to Russia, you grab yourself a good Russian coach, whatever the shit.

all over amateur sport and obviously professional.

This happens all the time.

Brand spanking new to powerlifting and people didn't know how they felt about it.

Fair, when it's first, when it's the first time.

And it was a bit of an experiment, wasn't it? I'm putting a little bit of time into this because this is a storyline for this world championships and we'd be remiss not to talk about the storyline of Stitch.

And when they, I still remember the post, Matt Gary, British head coach.

And people are like, what? This is crazy.

What? And there's mixed feelings.

Some people will be like, you're bypassing all the home British potential.
