Cool Jamie. Glad you appreciated the final product.

A tribute to a fantastic production crew led by Nicolas Desrosiers.

It wasn't easy to shoot for over 12 hours and post prod both for Canada and Europe.

Here both RDS and TSN run 6 x 30 mins.

On Eurosport they run 2 x 50 mins ( PAL Beta ).

Great exposure for the Fortissimus warriors. They deserve every minute of this.

Yes Will there is.

There was a little mix up I was told.

Eurosport had to deal with a technical problem so they ran Part 2 first.

Part one will be on very shortly.

Will beat me to the question. I assumed that there would be another part to be televised, but was at a loss as to why the second part was broadcast before the first.

I have really enjoyed what I have seen so far though, and look forward to seeing the rest.

ESPN doesn't have time for stuff like strongman. They have to show *real* sports - like poker, fishing, spelling bees, and hot dog eating. :rolleyes:

Scott well said .

Why not tell ESPN that their ratings might gain some with Strongman ?

Fans have enough ways and means to let them know.

What, what? I watch all 57 hours of The World Series of Poker and I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time. The blind bluffs, the hole cards, the river, and that huge pile of money. Wow, its extremely exciting! ;)

Actually, though, its sad that the winner of WSM wins as much money as like 107th place at those stupid poker tournaments.
