IFSA Strongman Athletes and the World's Strongest Man Super Series

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2005

IFSA Strongman CEO Jussi Laurimaa has just told IronMind® that until World's Strongest Man Super Series (WSMSS) competitions apply for and receive IFSA sanctions, "athletes managed by IFSA Strongman will not be participating in WSMSS competitions."

Notably, the top three finishers at the FitExpo strongman event "are exclusively managed by IFSA strongman," Laurimaa said, which means that while it is true that they have qualified to be in the WSMSS, they will not be "participating in any future WSMSS events as things now stand.

"As of today, none of the WSMSS competitions - for which the FitExpo is a qualifier - have applied to be sanctioned either by IFSA or by any of the over 30 national federations that comprise IFSA," Laurimaa said.
