The qualifying round of the upcoming IFSA World Championships will take a decidedly non-traditional approach, though, and they will be structured as follows: three heats of eight athletes . . . which might not sound too radical, but the details of how this will be done stand to be quite dramatic.

The kicker is that instead of sorting the competitors into heats based on whatever decision rules are favored, the IFSA World Championships are going to use a random drawing. Three team leaders have been designated, based on the IFSA rankings: Zydrunas Savickas, Mikhail Koklyaev and Vasyl Virastyuk. The remaining pool of 21 athletes are divided into seven bowls, each with three competitors, and in turn, the team leaders will draw a name from the first bowl, then move on to the second bowl, and so forth. IFSA’s Marcel Mostert told IronMind, “This has never been done before in strongman,” and Mostert agreed that the drawing itself will generate interest. It will “make good TV,” Mostert said. “The drawing will be filmed and will be exciting.”

Mostert has been a leading organizer of strongman contests for years and he said, “I’m very happy that finally this is the most fair competition ever, and nobody can moan about seeded heats, athletes, etc. May the strongest win!”

Now that strongman fans know about the random drawing that will be used to divide the competitors in the upcoming IFSA World Championships, the question has to be, “Who’s in which bowl?”

And here’s the answer:

1. Muramets, Kazelniks, Dolan
2. Ortmayer, McDonald, Best
3. three Icelanders
4. Blekaitis, Schepanski, Brusokas
5. Lotta, Hams, Ilikainen
6. Katona, Thompson, Pedan
7. Smit, Johanson, Kershbaumer

Looks Cool. So from what I understand, Geoff and Muramets will not be in the same heat??? Thats good for Geoff, since I'd say Muramets is the top guy with his name in a bowl.


Good luck Tiger.

Heat one kicked off at 2pm, heat two's due to kick off at about 4:30-5pm heat 3 kicks off at 8pm. Well thats what it's saying on Ironmind. So it's maybe a bit early for any significant news just yet, since theve probably only just completed the deadlift

Apparently Iceland runs at GMT (same time as the Uk), not like the wsm where they were 8 or so hours ahead of us in the uk.
