Yesterday, SCL–Canada was held indoors, and with many of the world’s top strongman competitors mixing it up, the performances of Canada’s own Jean-Francois Caron stood out.

"He won two events," Marcel Mostert told IronMind, "competing against the best strongmen in the world. We did a 420-kg car deadlift for reps—Zydrunas Savickas did 10 reps and Jean-Francois Caron did 13!”
"The contest is well organized and they have already sold 4,000 tickets for Saturday and 5,000 tickets for Sunday," said Mostert.
Tonight’s competition will feature three events.
