"In October there were finals with the participation of 27 sportsmen. We have opened a season of 2009 on May 2. The second stage will take place on May 10 in Riga, the third stage on May, 23 in Yelgava, and the fourth stage on May 24 in Daugavpils." Saying that his plans call for continued development in this direction, Vlad Redkin said, "We are ready to join the world amateur [strongman] movement."
