Viking Power Challenge: Date Set, Big Contest

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2009

Speaking for Viking Power Productions, Lene Alexandra Karlsen told IronMind® today that the 2009 Viking Power Challenge has been confirmed for Stavanger, Norway on June 6, 2009.

Although IronMind® does not know the details, our understanding is that this contest had originally been planned for another date, but was changed at the last minute to avoid a conflict with another big strongman contest.

"We are very excited and honored that 100% of the field of nine top-ranked international athletes have accepted the invitation," Ms. Karlsen said. In addition, the field will include the top three from Norway's Strongest Man.
