WSM 2009 - Malta Final Standings

[RaohNS]

Hi to all who are fans of the Strongmen competitions.

This year it was held in Malta and was apparently a really really good venue and set of events. From what i've read the Brits really seem to have done well and in the top ten we had 2 people. So a good day for the Brits.

For those who want to know the standing. Just highlight below:

Savickas (Lithuania) - 58
Pudzianowski (Poland) - 53
Shaw (USA) - 49
Poundstone (USA) - 46
Ortmayer (USA) - 45.5
Hollands (UK) - 41
Pfister (USA) - 29.5
Ostlund (USA) - 25
Shahlei (UK) - 24.5
LPJ - 13.5

Should be an interesting event to watch this Christmas.

I'm glad Felix wasn't one of them... can't stand him.

ahh wtf....not happy.

I'm glad Felix wasn't one of them... can't stand him.

While i partly agree, he's a fantastic deadlifter.

Im just gutted Jimmy Marku wasn't there would have probably given us a little better placing (Brits). I've been following it from the qualifiers and Big Z was apparently one of the expected to win guys then! 385 monster he was. Not bad considering his injury a few years back everyone thought he'd never lift again!

I personally wanted Pudzianowski to win, he's the "look" of the Worlds Strongest Man imo

 

[Freefaller]

Oh no denying he's unbelievably good - but there' just something about his persona that I just don't like.

I agree about Marku, I'd have loved to have seen him there.

Pudz has won it enough times to still be around for a few years yet - though I agree he is absolutely collosal.

FF be honest mate... its cause he's black isn't it

 

[Freefaller]

No way man, he's a bounty bar innit blud.

Great to see Savikas back in WSM. He's been dominating everywhere else.
