“Giants Live Finland was won by Laurence Shahlaei after a battle with Johannes Årsjö,” Colin Bryce reported to IronMind.


Here’s the podium for Giants Live–Finland (left to right): Johannes Årsjö, Laurence Shahlaei and Lauri Nami.  By virtue of their top three finish, Årsjö, Shahlaei and Nami are guaranteed invitations to the 2012 World’s Strongest Man contest.  Check out the championship belts.  IronMind® | Photo courtesy of Giants Live.

“Johannes and Laurence swapped the lead on several occasions but the Brit came through on the last event to secure his first Giants Live win at the Ideapark near Tampere on Saturday afternoon.”

Here are the top three, officially:

1. Laurence Shahlaei
2. Johannes Årsjö
3. Lauri Nami

Giants Live is the official qualifying tour of the World’s Strongest Man contest, and Bryce confirmed that “These three men all go through to the Worlds Strongest Man contest.”
