Charleston, West Virginia - Showing that there is good reason to believe in Mariusz Pudzianowski's ability to win his fifth World's Strongest Man title, the Polish strongman star dominated the field in the first event of this year's MET-Rx WSM final.
Pudzianowski easily won his heat and was first place overall, about twelve seconds ahead of Derek Poundstone, who won his heat and finished second overall. Dave Ostlund was third, and Tarmo Mitt and Phil Pfister tied for fourth place, completing 14 steps within the time limit.
