Weight For Height...

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 1999

Competing at the Bison Highland Games in Isafjordur, Iceland last weekend, Samundur Unnar Samundsson exceeded the world record in the weight for height with a huge throw of 18 feet five inches. A stellar performer in this event, Samundsson just might have drawn a little added inspiration from the crowd, which included Hjalti Arnason, Andres Guomundsson and Bill Kazmaier.
