Weights in the Farmer's Walk were only 120 kg. And guys from USA don't seem to manage, even when the weights are lighter than in Finnish district area competitions. Your American bashing bores me. The Americans deserve to be there every bit as much as the British competitors yet you do not bash them. Time to grow up, learn how to spell and stop being so transparent in your support of Euripeans.
News is supposed to be unbiased.
I have nothing personal against American competitors and I think Mark Philippi did great before he got injured. Also Pfister ranked high in the finals. The others didn't have enough experience yet. Many people in Finland have already given much credit to Philippi. Last year he got invited because he won the Europe's Strongest, this year there were much more invitations to post.
