Talk:World's Strongest Man

message: Does anyone know how much time is between each event in each heat?  Are all events done on the same day for a heat or do they do one event a day or every other day?  How much time is there between qualifying and competing in the finals?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwertasdfgzx (talk • contribs) 18:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Time Between Each Event 

message: I think many of the weights quoted in this section are somewhat exaggerated.  I know, at least, that in the recent competitions, the maximum weight lifted in the squat and deadlift does not exceed 700-800 lbs, as opposed to the 900 and 1100 lb weights listed in the article.  Can anybody verify or correct these weights?  Runch 20:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: This is in reply to Vytis1.  The contest won by Savickas as described in the news at www.ifsastrongman.com was the 2005 IFSA World Championship.  This is NOT the World's Strongest Man contest.  This Wikipedia entry refers to the World's Strongest Man contest currently sponsored by MET-Rx, and broadcast on ESPN.
For news on this year's World's Strongest Man contest, see the news archive at www.ironmind.com.  Check the October, 2005 archive and look for entries on the 2005 MET-Rx World's Strongest Man contest - the entries for October 6 and October 7 have this year's results.
I think this raises a valid point, however.  First, we should probably edit this page slightly to be clearer that this page refers specifically to the (MET-Rx) WSM contest.  Second, it seems like other contests like the IFSA championship could be mentioned elsewhere - perhaps on Strongman (strength athlete) or Strength athletics, or some contest page to be created.
One other thing - I noticed that the newly created page on Savickas also credits him (incorrectly) as winning the 2005 World's Strongest Man contest.  Savickas did not compete in this year's WSM contest; as far as I know, he is competing exclusively in IFSA contests now. Dsreyn 15:18, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Doesn't the logo for World's Strongest Man, have the words World's Strongest Man around the globe? SportingNonsense 01:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it does. The thing is, I had to cut that logo out of the main banner on the World's Strongest Man official site, and as the banner is a (fairly) low quality JPG, it was impossible / very difficult to also cut out the words around it. The logo without the words should be fine for now, at least until someone manages to get one with the text. H4cksaw 23:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Wsmlogo-lettering.png

message: Currently, the 1997 results list Flemming Rasmussen as coming second. That's fine, but the link goes to the page for the music producer Flemming Rasmussen, who I'm pretty sure is a completely different person. Does the link need re-directing, or was he really competing in strength events in between mixing Metallica albums?
