2012 WSM Experience: The Start List

by Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. | ©2012 IronMind

Looking “to bring back the good times, when Finland´s Strongest Man™ was importing champs like Jón Páll Sigmarsson, Bill Kazmaier and O.D.Wilson to Finland," Jyrki Rantanen told IronMind, “We are happy to have the biggest men on strongman sport in our event —Brian and Haffi are both in 2-meter/200-kg range with huge power levels, so the challengers will have full day job if they want to get some scalps even in some events.”
