Wsm 2005

[Michael Nunn-Weinberg]

For those of you who don't go to www.ironmind.com:

Amid the swirling rumors, IronMind has just received official confirmation of the dates, location and contest format for the 2005 World's Strongest Man competition.

This year's contest is in Chengdu, China. with the qualifier scheduled for September 27 - 30 and the finals scheduled for October 4 - 7.

"We are going back to the usual format of five groups, although this year we will have five athletes in each group, with the top two going through to the final," said TWI Event Manager Lisa Comber, which is news that will likely be very well received by both the competitors and the fans of this leading event in the strongman world.

--------------------------------------

I'm pleased to see they are going back to the old format.

Agreed...it was much better to watch and more guys get to go. WSM2004 was the worst I've seen in terms of organisation.

It'll be interesting to see if IFSA stick with 2004 setup for this year's championship in Canada.

Aren't you already qualified? If not, what will you have to win/place in to get there?

From what it says on Ironmind it looks like the top three finishers in each of the World's Strongest Man Super Series events are guaranteed invites. There are 4 of those (2 in the US, Poland and Sweden. That will make for 12 invites. The organizers probably pick the remaining 13.

Jesse if you dont qualify this year you can expect me to stick my size 11 right up you ASS!

:M:

Nothing would shock me when it comes to Jesse's strength. He is pretty young and already a beast.

Agreed, 2004 sucked!

Its going to be an interesting time for international strongman in the next 24 months with all the new competitions, series' and setups.....I just hope it makes the sport stronger all round!!!

After seeing the results from Venice Beach, it looks like he doesn't have to worry about your size 11s :D
