In what might signal an historic shift in the world of strongman, the Polish Strongman Federation and the Canadian Federation of Strength Athletes have signed a letter of agreement, CFSA president Hugo Girard told IronMind® today.

Citing the great success both countries have had in developing athletes and putting on events, Girard said that this accord will provide a method for the two countries to continue to run strongman competitions in their own countries on an autonomous basis and also to take things to the next level by sharing resources for joint competitions, run as co-ventures between the two national federations.

"We see this as the way for strongman to have success in the future," Girard said, noting that this letter of agreement bonds two powerhouses in the field.
