What can you say Phil delivered on his 2001 promise. The Mans worked hard and he deserves the title. Well done once again to Terry, Getting better every year. |

On a secondary note it's worth mentioning that this years comp seems to have been the best one in many years. So I think Jouko and svend deserve a mention for planning these events. |

Congratulations to Phil! I really thought that Mariusz would win, and handily. Just the fact that he came back and destroyed so many events in the finals really shows that Phil was better overall. |

I really hope that Svend and Jouko continue to help out with the contest. This year it was evident that they'd really tried to make the contest interesting, and hearken back to older styles of strongman. I love the look of the stone press. It may not be a "real" rock that they're lifting, but I see this as being a great way to standardize the overhead stone lift and create some new records for it. I'd love to see this in more contests. The car walk is very good to watch, and I really have no idea why it was excluded from so many recent WSMCs. If it's something visually appealing that TWI wants, this events provides it. Overall, I think this year's WSMC will really help the sport progress. It was visually appealing, featured an extremely close race for first place, and two Americans placed in the top three. |

Awesome writeup, Terry and great job. That heat is a bitch and it really doesn't help a 170kg man in the slightest. More water next time! - Sean |
