This Week in Strongman: 6/22 - 6/24 - June 21, 2007

by Mike Gill

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:
