Arnold Amateur World Strongman Championships!
I år arrangeres det VM i Strongman for amatører under Arnold Classic-festivalen. Selv om det heter «Amatør», så er det absolutt ingen ting som skulle tilsi at dette er en amatørkonkurranse, og iallefall ikke vektene eller øvelsene.
Hele 57 utøvere fra 19 forskjellige land er påmeldte, og konkurransen blir knallhard. Norge er representert ved utøverne Ole Martin Hansen (5. plass Norges Sterkeste Mann 2009 – fra Drammen) og Bjørn André Solvang (4. plass Norges Sterkeste Mann 2009 – fra Moelv).
Konkurransen er delt opp i to dager, fredag og søndag lokal tid i Columbus, Ohio, og topp 10 fra fredagen går videre til finalen på søndag! Vinneren av hele konkurransen blir automatisk kvalifisert for å delta på selve Arnold Strongman Classic 2011!
