Yoke: Karlsen (as expected),
Samuelsson (didn't I say so),
Virtanen (expected)
Power Stairs: Muhr (a good deadlifter, kind of expected),
Mariusz (not bad),
Virtanen (speed & endurance)

Virtanen comments that it didn't go perfect
but ok anyway. Car Hold Virtanen fears to be his weakest event. Farmer's Walk he'll win (a Finn is not allowed
to lose that!)

Go Samulson! Let me ask you, every evening I see the reruns of old contest, do you know when the current contest will be on ESPN. My daughter is a big fan, she thinks I am the strongest man in the world. Yeah, right.lol
