Sergeii Romanchuk was invited at the Arnold in 2010 AND 2011. Neither Shalaei nor Hollands are invited for the 2012 ASC.
Exactly, the Arnold Strongman wouldn't be the Arnold Strongman without some c
unt from the Ukraine that nobody has ever heard of!!
As you say, that particular fucker was invited TWICE yet these guys are ignored after the great year they have had? It's total shit!
Terry Todd (the Arnold organiser) will claim the Arnolds Strongman was always predicated upon finding the "true strongest man" on the planet regardless of his particular field of expertise. This is why we see powerlifters like Benedikt and Andy Bolton along with athletes from fields such as Highland Games etc receiving invites.
However, none of that explains why there are always at least three shitbag no-name wankers in attendance that do not deserve to be there?
Also, whilst the above might have been Todd's original premise, it is undeniable that the Arnold is/has become not only a full on strongman show, but has become known as the most legitimate, heavy strongman show on earth.
History clearly demonstrates that powerlifters, olympic lifters (and wankers from other fields) competing at the Arnolds get destroyed by the strongmen, so lets cut the shit, call a spade a spade and stop inviting a) guys from other fields (ie: Benedikt Magnusson) unless they have a legit and current strongman record, and b) inconsequential wankers such as Sergei Romanchuk.
You cannot blame guys foo taking up the offer to compete, the blame lies with the fuckwit Terry Todd for inviting them in the first place.
To leave Hollands and Shahlaei out in the cold this year is a fucking disgrace!
