Snart finns det nog inget fitnessexpo eller byggartävling av rang i USA under vilken en strongmantävling inte avgörs. Flertalet av America’s Strongest Man-kvaltävlingarna 2010 arrangeras [http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Articles/2009/Nov/Americaxs_Strongest_Man_US_Nationals_Qualifying_Tour_2010.html i samband med bodybuildingtävlingshelger]:

”I am excited about this. I think this can be the beginning of more big things for American Strongman,” ASC president Dione Wessels told IronMind. ”The shared goal is to make this event one of the biggest in professional strongman.”
I samband med The Los Angeles Fitness Expo 2010 kommer Odd Haugen (samma person som var med och arrangerade World Strong Man Super Series finalen på Fitnessfestivalen 2009) att [http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Articles/2009/Dec/Top_Strongmen_Louis-Philippe_Jean_and_Mark_Felix_Join_the_Field_In_Los_Angeles.html arrangera tävlingen ”All American Challenge 2010”]:
Quote:Haugen has been at the cutting edge of American strongman for about a decade and his FitExpo-based contest has continued to grow over the years.”The 2010 All American Challenge is shaping up to be an international battle,” Haugen said, and things might get hotter still as Terry Hollands, another top British strongman, and USA’s Karl Gillingham (2007 strongman winner at the FitExpo) are also possible entries.
The international strongman competitors will ”take on a great group of American athletes lead by the likes of Nick Best, David Ostlund, Kevin Knee and Marshall White among the 10 athletes already confirmed,” said Haugen.
As a reminder, this contest is open, with an entry deadline of December 31. ”This is an opportunity to get invited to the Arnold’s Classic Strongman and the 2010 World Strong Man Super Series, all baked into one,” Haugen told IronMind, so if you’ve got what it takes to ring the bell in strongman, this is your contest.
