The World’s Strongest Man finals are returning to South Africa and the Sun City resort for the first time since 2000. Africa has hosted several WSM finals over the years and has created a host of memorable moments.
The 2000 final was dominated by the viking power of Janne Virtanen, Svend Karlsen and Magnus Samuelsson, with a young Mariusz Pudzianowski coming 4th.
This year’s final will see the return of reigning champion Zydrunas Savickas, defending his title against a host of WSM regulars and new contenders in the world class surroundings of Sun City.
Sun City is a luxury resort, situated in the North West Province of South Africa. It is located about two hours’ drive from Johannesburg, near the city of Rustenburg. It is surrounded by the imposing mountains of the Pilanesberg and borders the Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

Quote:It had the impact of a bombshell in the strongman world yesterday when it IronMind reported that Arild ”The Emperor of Stones” would be competing in Giants Live-Poland in a bid to gain an invitation to World’s Strongest Man 2010.”Yes sir, it’s true that I really want to go to WSM this year,” Arild Haugen confirmed for IronMind. ”And therefore I will have to qualify through the Giants Live competition in Poland.
”I did a competition in beginning of June in London. I had train only for 3 – 4 weeks and did a couple of good lift and enjoyed the competition and the meetings with all the other strongmen. But after being away from the strongman events and the heavy weights I felt that I still had some power left, and after doing 12 reps in deadlift with 310 kg I started thinking about how good I could be if I trained some months more.
Arild var i juni med i inspelningen av norges Fångarna på Fortet som ska visas på norska TV3 till hösten.
Här berättar han själv bland annat om comebacken i Strongman:13395120
[http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Articles/2010/Jul/Newlywed_Zydrunas_Savickas_Focuses_on_Worldxs_Strongest_Man.html IronMind.com rapporterar] om vilka den nygifte Zydrunas Savickas (han skjuter på smekmånaden tills efter WSM 2010 är avgjord!) tror kommer göra upp om finalen:
Quote:Focus is a big thing in all forms of competitive activity and when you talk sports, the competitive landscape is shaped primarily by your fellow athletes. So, IronMind asked Zydrunas, ”Last year, everyone expected the World’s Strongest Man contest to come down to a battle between you and Mariusz [Pudzianowski]. This year, who will be your main rival(s)?””I think it will be between me, Misha, Brian, Derek, and Travis,” Zydrunas said, referring to Mikhail Koklyaev, Brian Shaw, Derek Poundstone, and Travis Ortmayer, respectively. That’s quite a talent-laden short list and IronMind would bet that all on it are going to be flattered that Zyrdunas Savickas mentioned them as top prospects for the WSM 2010 title.
[http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Articles/2010/Aug/Vitautas_Lalas_Wins_Giant_Live-Poland-Qualifies_for_Worldxs_Strongest_Man.html IronMind.com] om tävlingen i Polen i helgen som gick, som gav tre nya namn kvalplats till WSM:
Quote:Lithuania is about to present another huge talent to the 2010 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) contest, as Vitautas Lalas won the final WSM qualifier, Giants Live – Poland, with a most impressive performance and thereby earning a coveted invitation to the king of strongman contests.With WSM 2010 coming up fast, Giants Live-Poland took on added significance and the top three finishers earned the most coveted invitation in strongman. Here are the official places and points:
1. Vitautas Lalas – 73 *
2. Robert Szczeepanksi – 72 *
3. Janusz Kulaga – 70 *
4. Slawomir Toczek – 62
5. Daren Sadler – 49
6. Agris Kazelniks – 46*qualified for World’s Strongest Man 2010

[http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Articles/2010/Aug/MET-Rx_Worldxs_Strongest_Man_2010-Events_Weigh_in_Heavy.html IronMind.com förmedlar] några ännu icke officiellt bekräftade uppgifter om vikterna man kommer att använda:
Quote:How about squats and deadlifts for reps, looking at about 340 kg in the qualifiers and then +350 kg in the finals, reminding everyone once again that none of these numbers is official, that WSM officials will announce the actual weights at the time of the final event testing and that events are always subject to change.Although again unofficial, IronMind has been tipped that the Atlas Stones will range up to 190 kg ”on to the highest platforms in the world,” and there is a clear sense that the grandest stage in strongman is being set for an assault on the world record in the Log Lift.
IronMind has also heard that the Farmer’s Walk implements will be in the range of 160 kg, there is talk of a 95-kg dumbbell, and more, so stay tuned and keep your eye on the official MET-Rx World’s Strongest Man website.

Det brukar vara två från varje grupp.
Väldigt bra grenar för Årsjö. Medley, Overhead Lift och Loading Race tror jag passar honom som handen i handsken. Även de andra grenarna lär passa honom bra.
Motståndet ser på förhand ganska ok ut, och Johannes har en god chans att ta sig till final. Koklyaev ser ju sjukt stark ut och han lär väl vinna gruppen tämligen överlägset.

Han är dock inte en superman, så hans comeback i världseliten får vänta tills nästa år. Från [http://www.arildhaugen.com/ Arilds hemsida] efter tävlingen i Polen i början av augusti
Quote:But still I would never have placed higher then maybe 5,6 or somethin if everthing went good. The level was verry high, and I am not in the shape I would like to be after 3 mounts of wheights training. This is life, and I am probberbly 70% of what I used to be…. So I will go home, heal up and train alot of events the next mounths and hopefully I will be stronger and better then ever next year. Theres no superman, so after beeing away for so long i will need more time.. I think My head wants more then my body can handle in so short time…So I have desided to not go to worlds strongest man this year. Maybe I could have got a wildcard because of my earlier performance, but that dosent feel right for me. I am abit afraid of getting real injuried again and therefor deside to go home and get stronger…. I have a lot of time and enjoy the training..
Norsk dagstidning rapporterar att ”[http://avisenagder.no//Sport/tabid/267/Default.aspx?ModuleId=74404&articleView=true Hulken står over strongman-VM]”:
Quote:Etter bokse-intermessoet trenger den råsterke sirdølen Arild «Hulken» Haugen mer tid til å vende seg til strongman-sirkuset igjen. Kraftkaren fra Øvre Sirdal står derfor over årets VM i strongman.
