2006 Wsm
Incase anyone cares, day 2 updates are on Ironminds website. Marius is kicking butt and taking names, Arlid Haugen is a beast and the keg toss is going to be fun to watch.
Jesse seems to be holding his own, and owning the 3rd group. Mark Felix dominated the Car DL, again going to be fun to watch. Unfortunitly we have to wait until christmas eve to see it on ESPN.

'Mark Felix also knocked off an impressive 17 reps in the car deadlift today - not feeling that this was his limit, Felix reportedly said that he could have done the same number of reps with twice the weight!'

Jesse Marunde: “I Will Be Back . . .” by Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. | ©2006 IronMind
Things don’t always go according to plan, and Jesse Marunde is already eyeing next year’s World’s Strongest Man contest. Coming into the 2006 MET-Rx World’s Strongest Man contest, Jesse Marunde was a heavy favorite: personable, energetic and talented, Marunde is the picture of the dynamic, crowd-pleasing strongman competitor, and most of the speculation about his performance this year centered around exactly where on the podium he would end up. And going through the qualifiers, the plot seemed to be unfolding as expected . . . until the last day. Marunde said, “I reinjured my hamstring on the keg toss and every event it just kept getting worse.” By the end of the qualifiers, Jesse Marunde had slipped to third place in group two, which meant he was cut from the finals, an outcome few would have entertained. As the highest-scoring third place finisher from the qualifying round, Jesse Marunde is the first alternate for the finals. Making no bones about his disappointment, Marunde said, ”I’m pretty down in the dumps,” but showing his stuff, don’t think this is where he stopped. ”I tried hard,” Marunde said, “but the best men won. They deserve to advance, having beaten me fairly. I'm super motivated to get home and begin preparing for next year. I will be back bigger and better than ever. You can bet the farm on it.”

Here we go.....
2006 MET-Rx World’s Strongest Man Finals: Who Will Win? by Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. | ©2006 IronMind
Sanya, China - With the start of the 2006 MET-Rx World’s Strongest Man finals than twelve hours away, thoughts are already turning to the outcome and for some insight, IronMind turned to the High Council. Don Pope looked impressive in the qualifiers and he’s getting votes as the favorite on the overhead stone lift . . . the third event on the first day of the WSM finals. Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. photo. Defending champion Mariusz Pudzianowski is considered the clear favorite for this year’s title and the High Council raised the possibility that there could be a Polish sweep, given how strong the entire Polish contingent looked in the qualifiers. Day one action begins with the deadlift for reps, and Mark Felix is seen as the man with the best chance of bringing home the bacon in that event. Next, the power stairs, seem to have Pudzianowski’s name with the most likely claim on first place. And for the final event on the first day - overhead stones - Don Pope is getting the nods. But it’s all conjecture at this point and when the dust settles after the first day, all the pre-contest probabilities will go out the window. And as for how the competitors feel, Terry Hollands probably summed up a common sentiment, saying that he’d rested long enough, was starting to get bored and he “just wants to get started.” Place your bets now and stay tuned for the results.
