Welcome to the very first Kaos English Championships!
Day two commences with our U82 & U105s fighting it out across the day to see who can become the very first Kaos English Champion.
Furthermore, with routes from here to the Pro Strongman League in America; Those that perform well have the opportunity to take their Strength International!
This is the partial livestream recording from Kaos English Championships, day 2, The U82 & U105 Womens’ & Mens’ classes.
During the log-press event: An athlete was injured. We have since had confirmation that they are going to be okay, and are not expected to have any lasting injuries, which we are incredibly glad to hear.
During the incident: one of the floor lights was damaged, which tripped the Circuit Breakers in the building.
This power-loss interrupted the livestream and, crucially, interrupted our recording setup for Kaos Live. This meant that, due to the shock of the incident, we did not realise we had lost all of the footage to that point.
Worse still: We weren’t aware of this loss of function until the close of the Deadlift event when we went to check the footage and found the recording up until the end of the log-press was unreadable, as the intention had been to edit out the Athlete’s accident.
We restarted the recording from that point, to ensure we at least had a partial recording of the event.
This is no way the athlete’s fault. Accidents happen, and it has highlighted some technical flaws in Kaos Live that we are already looking at plans to mitigate going forwards.
However, due to this: We are not charging for the Video on Demand of this stream – As it is not the complete stream – and it isn’t fair to offer a degraded service to athletes & spectators who wished to watch back the full event.
