Title: 2007 WSM Results
Post by: Stubborn on September 25, 2007, 07:47:06 PM
The final results of the 2007 World's Strongest Man
1. Pudzianowski-59 points
2. Wenta-54
3. Hollands-50
4. Pfister-43
5. Samuelsson-40
Ostlund-40
7. Felix-34.5
8. Nee-32
9. Pope-19.5
10.Mitt (out)

I cant believe Pope did so badly!? Wenta would be nothing if not for being so damn tall. Im proud of Magnus though! He's been doing this for something like 10 years (finals that is) and he still gets fifth overall, amazing. Cant wait to see it on TV!

Savikas would destroy any of them pure strength wise even if he was only 75 percent.

True. But Savickas actually got 3rd in the IFSA Strongman World Championship this year. Here are the top 5:

1. Vasyl Virastyuk
2. Misha Koklaev
3. Zydrunas Savickas
4. Derek Poundstone (Americas Strongest Man 2007)
5. Andrus Murmets

Vasyl has won WSM in the past and now IFSA. Zavickas cant do it! I dont know why he never got it all together in a WSM comp? Probably due to him being so young and inexperienced. I would like to see Marius in the IFSA finals. I think he would get demolished....like at the Arnold!

Marius wouldn't ever get demolished, he would simple adapt and become a top 3 competitor. He is the best strongman in the world, all round speaking. Don't forget that Mariusz hammared Zavikcas several times not so long ago.

Never once has Marius beat Savickas in a true brute force event. Load 800lbs on a bar and see if Marius can hit as many reps as Z. And Im talking about a BAR not a car or keg DL. WSM is awesome, dont get me wrong, but IFSA is about absolute power not so much reps. They both have their place.
