Anyone see the strongman comp today on ESPN2?

I believe it was Magnus Samuelson from Norway that won...dude was a beast... had a tat on his chest that said "viking power". It was the 2001 World's Strongest Man but anyway, Phil Phister missed the mark again.

Yup I saw it but, I think it was Sven Karlson sp? Who won.

Yeah, Sven is the Viking Power guy.

[Nibbe]

Samuelson is Swedish btw.

Sven Karlson won it 2001. Magnus Samuelson won it back in 98.

They don't test for 'em. Heck, I can think of at least one WSM competitor who was a SOURCE.

WOW...I thought they would test for it in such a huge contest.

It's not that huge of a contest. And the prize money is pathetic.

You think that a certain young American, barely legal age, got to 285 lbs. at 5'9" naturally? Heck, he admits he used and sold.
