Mywor Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) This is a "shameless" copy from @Eric Roussin thread "Distribution of Grip Sport Contests in North America - 2017" I´m quite certain I missed some events, but here is a list I was able to come up with with help of @jouni mähönen @Marco Buhl @Jürgen Garschall @Thomas Larsen and David Hornes list of competitions held in UK. If you have any competitions to add please leave a message. No wonder Finland is doing quite well in the grip world with 7 grip contests + 1 finger wrestling and 2 King Kong Venues held 2017 within a quite "small" country.

Fist of Fury Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Great stuff, you need to include Russia as well. I think it's way to few comps, especially here in Sweden where strength sports are so popular. I also think that grip sport needs to be spread more to countries like France, Italy and Spain, which are really big countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I sent few messages to Russian armlifters, but none of the replied I had a talk with Romanian gripster who said they will hold a competition in 2018 though.

Eric Roussin Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Russia can definitely be made "green". Just the APL and WAA Armlifting events add up to more than 5 contests in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
