Strongman Super Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Strongman Super Series, now known as the World's Strongest Man Super Series, is a sequence of grand prix events in the sport of strength athletics. It was introduced in 2001 in response to concerns that, unlike other individual sports such as golf or tennis, there was no recognized international "tour" in strength athletics. The Strongman Super Series ensures that there are a number of high-profile, professionally run contests during the year, with competitors' placings being used to decide the Super Series Champion.
The Super-Series is usually made up of 4 or 5 competitions during the year, the final comp being a month or so before WSM which is around September time. Each competition normally lasts a couple of days.
The list International Strongmen taking part in each competition is around 10 - 12.
The top 4 athletes from each competition automatically get invited to WSM.
