The IFSA-sanctioned meet originally scheduled for Dubai next weekend has been postponed.
"The conditions for the competition in Dubai were not optimal, and the event has been postponed until the local promoter has managed to improve them," IFSA CEO Jussi Laurimaa said today.
The Dubai contest, while IFSA sanctioned, is not considered "an IFSA contest," since, for example, it is not part of the new IFSA television show that makes its worldwide debut in September, and its organizers were not part of either IFSA or one of IFSA's national federations.
The IFSA Strongman European Championships, which can be considered "a full IFSA contest," are scheduled for June 4 - 5 in Moscow.
