Got ticket for it. Hope he does turn up. Not only a great presser. That lad holds something like 34 world records. Are you going to see it?

Yep it was awesome 10 reps@140kg! Fair to play to him he hung around for ages at the end & let everyone get a photo with him. Even managed to get one meself. 11 Reps on a 300kg deadlift werent bad either. Will try & upload some photos & videos tomorrow. Really enjoyed this event even if the English translation could of been a bit better.

Phurk!! It never occured to me getting a pic wouldve been possible, thought only Lithuanian flag waving pitch invaders got to do that.
Id be mistaken for a pool cue standing beside him anyway.
Yeah its a pity the english speaking MC dissappeared towards the end when it wouldve been nice to know where everyone was placed in the standings before the last event.
Great day though-anyone else get sunburnt as hell or am I just an albino freak?!

Ye got burnt as well. Look like a fookin tomato today. Meant to say me & Squod got to talk Shalaei as well very nice bloke. I was suprised he didn't get pissed off even though that Polish commentator kept asking him to attempt the atlas stones. He had told them all day that his shoulder was injured & he wouldn't attempt any of the overhead lifts. He is trying to heal up in time for the WSM this year.

I take it the Polish Team lost then?

It was great to meet another boardsie, Turbo Diesel. Managed to talk at a few of the competitors there. Atmosphere was just amazing. Just a quick heads up * Met Keith Maher who reckons this event is going to be worth a watch too*.


*sorry Drifter for advertising stuff just thought I'd mention it before I forget.

They came second out of two teams?

He meant for the forthcoming team event, it only gives the team names, not the individual names.

Where did fennelly place in this comp, i presume he'd be third?

Some of the biggest names in the Strongman world like Ed Hall, Tarmo Mitt, Ervin Katona and the largest of them all, the Icelander Thor Bjornsson at 6ft 9ins and 440lbs, will be coming to Mullingar to compete for the title of Best 2-Man Team in the World 2012. The full line-up of competitors including the Irish pairing of Paul Roberts and Keith Maher, will provide a true spectacle of world class strongman talent that will be a “must see” opportunity.

I dunno if you'd call this a comp. More a demo. Think Fennelly had some shoulder (or traps?) issue still from the Ireland's strongest man. Shahlaei was injured (shoulder ligaments) from China and big Z was in Finland at a comp Friday just gone.

They put on a show all the same. Fair play to them for that.

Giants Live comes to Poland on July 21st, 2012. The contest will be in Kartuzy, Nr. Gdansk in Poland. Twelve of the Worlds Strongest Men will be at this massive contest competing over six grueling events. The top three from this competition will be granted qualifying to the World's Strongest Man TV show in September.The line up includes: Misha Koklyaev - Russia, Krzystof Radzikowski - Poland, Janusz Kulaga - Poland, Mark Felix - England Darren Sadler - England, Louis Phillipe Jean - Canada, Seb Davidsson - Sweden, Seb Kurek - Poland, Jerry Pritchet - USA

Great line up should be interesting with Misha Koklyaev competing again after he didnt manage to make the Russian Olympic lifting team.

squod

Louis Phillipe Jean, another lad I'd like to meet. Very under rated IMO. Probably will put on a decent show.

he's massive. He was 120 at the euros in 2011 and looked "small"

He's probably north of 140 now. He looked like a feckin boyband singer as a 105. He must've really dialled in the paleo and fish oil, brah.
