It's relatively quiet this weekend in the world of strongman competition. It's not too surprising considering it's the first weekend of summer and last weekend hosted more than half a dozen awesome events across the country including the WSM Super Series Venice Grand Prix, where Dave Ostlund (a friend of ChasingKaz) edged out three-time World's Strongest Man, Mariusz Pudzianowski, for the win and a spot in the World's Strongest Man final this coming October.
Good luck Dave, and now, to this weekend's events:
