Around Christmas and Easter in the UK we have always had world's strongest man on TV. I started watching 15 years ago, giant men moving impossible things. I mainly watched for scandanaivan athletes like ykho ahola who showed you don't nned to be FLOSH (fat lump of s**t) to be a strongman.
Anyhow... Jesse Marunde a decent contender for WSM (worlds strongest man) just died at 27. He placed No.2 in 2005. He had had a child according to my tv and allround (he came across as an asshole, but a loveable one at that) I will miss him from the WSM. |

The only one of those guys that I know the name of is Magnus Magnuson, or something like that. The guy is Amazing. I think I saw him pull a train with his Teeth once.

Are you sure you mean Magnus Magnusson?
I can see him pulling the Mastermind chair with his teeth; and once he'd started, he'd have to finish**, but a train? 
**That might be lost on the non-English among us.
