Strongman is traditionally the land of giants, but SCL cofounder Ilkka Kinnunen was a leader in establishing the 105-kg strongman category for guys who are not quite that big - merely XL or XXL, as opposed to XXXL and beyond.  Interest in 105-kg strongman has continued to grow and Kinnunen’s SCL partner, Marcel Mostert, told IronMind®, “This was our third 105-kg Strongman World Championship.  We did it in 2005, 2007 and now 2009.  We are happy we could make it again, as it is not easy to get it broadcast, but it's a great step up for the guys to go further into the heavyweights!  The level of competition was great, and some guys did the events already like real heavyweight athletes.”

This competition was recorded and produced in the Ukraine in December 2009, organized by SCL and the Ukrainian Federation of Strength Athletes (UFSA), which is headed by Vladimir and Olena Kiba.
