      If you are going to show records might as well do it from both sides. I remember seeing a RUclips vid where a strongman competitor got the joshing nickname of "little" then his name (forgot the name) because he weighed "only" 280. 280 is super heavyweight in most sports so its ironic.

    Crazy to think that Mika Törrö at #19 is a tested athlete. Finlands Strongest man athletes are required to sign an anti doping contract and they are randomly tested when they are under that contract. Contract needs to be signed at least 3 months before the competition and after that it is in effect indefinitely. Once the athlete or Finlands strongest man organization wants to end that contract it will take at least a month to be terminated. I wonder if this is the reason we don't see as many Finns in the WSM these days.

      Rare is the man who can carry 400 lbs plus without severe (and fast encroaching) health implications, unfortunately. I think it’s a great thing for the sport that athletes seem to be downsizing for this reason. Athletes like Mitch are showing that you don’t have to be a 400 lb + monster to be ruddy strong. Even Tom Stoltman (probably the one current athlete except Thor who could “comfortably” hold 400 lb plus of body weight) looks like he’s leaning out a bit from previous years without losing any strength.
