WSM Finals

Pudzianowski, Virastiuk, Savickas, Karlsen, Samuelsson and Bergmanis have advanced to the finals of the 2004 World's Strongest Man contest.

Scoring starts over now, and although we will have to wait to see the TV shows to know for sure, there are widespread rumors that the finals will assume what has been the traditional format of running the athletes through the events in groups, rather than in pairs.

The events for the final are: carry and drag medley, yoke, deadlift, squat, truck pull, wheelbarrow, safe lift and stones, but the exact nature of each event will only be publicly unveiled when the TV shows begin airing right around Christmas time.
