some updates for this from Mark Felixs point of view:

janne won the farmers then stoyen (unconfirmed) Fe came 3rd

truck pull fe came 4th

80kg kettlebell Fe only got 1 rep, but up to 5 guys or more didnt get one rep

unsure but he might be 7th with maybe only 5 points between 1st & 7th, some have joint placing

He is feeling great and well rested for todays four events, which didnt sound like the ones on the list above, bu who knows.

Mark certainly has an uncanny ability to recover quickly. After BSM he's doing real well

Agreed. Did not expect such strong performance by Virtanen.

Todorchev's win is not surprising.

From the pic on ironmind it looks like Stoyan has dropped a few pounds.

I think people are starting to realise that you don't need to be fat to be strong. It does look as if he's dropped a lot of weight.

Stoyan weighed in the same as Janne - 138 kilos. He has lost close to 30 kilos since WSM.
