Vores egen Mikkel Leicht tager i morgen til Holland for at deltage i stærkmandssportens Champions League, og det fortjener naturligvis noget opmærksomhed. Jeg vil prøve at smide nogle updates ind, når der kommer noget, og ellers bare ønske Mikkel held og lykke i sin kamp mod flere af sportens topnavne.
“This weekend, on 28 June, the MHP Strongman Champions League Holland will be in the very nice city Doetinchem, in east of Holland,” SCL Director Marcel Mostert told IronMind.
Hafthor Bjornsson won the Truck Pull, the Carry & Drag, as well as setting a world record in the Atlas Stones at SCL Holland last year—losing the overall title Zydrunas Savickas by only one point. Expect fireworks from the Icelander this weekend. IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo
