“Terry Hollands will be competing here to gather SCL points and to keep leading in front of Zydrunas Savickas and Misha Koklyaev.  Also, Ervin Katona, Konstantin Ilin, Matt Wanat from the USA and Martin Wildauer from Austria (coming back after a pec injury in May this year)  will compete in this 8th stage of SCL,” Mostert told IronMind.

“Gabriel Kowalski from Poland, Akos Nagy from Hungary and Jan Salata from Czech Republic will compete as well.  The field will be completed with the local Slovakian heroes Brano Golier  and Michal Petrik.
 
“It will be an outdoor event, so we all hope the weather will be still good as it is already October.
We thank the organization SASIM [Slovak strongman group] for their efforts and help in here.”

The 2010 SCL season will wrap up with the finals on November 27 in the Ukraine, completing the 10-contest series that SCL had announced for this year.

Looking ahead, Mostert told IronMind, “We are convinced now already that the year 2011 will be even better again.”
                                                                        
Here are the events for the upcoming contest in Slovakia:
 
1. Log Lift for reps (135 or 140 kg)
2. Truck Pull (Harness and rope)
3. Tank Pull (Hand over Hand)
4. Frame Carry 300 kg
5. Conan’s Wheel 320 kg

Mostert also said that this Friday, October 8, “We will broadcast the Arnolds 2010 on Eurosport and within a week later, on 15 October, the SCL Serbia [will also be broadcast] on Eurosport.
