Classes:
Men’s: 66k, 83k, 105k, 105k+
Women’s: 72k, 72k+
Open class (includes all competitors)

Venue: All around the world.

Start: In the UK, 11am

Overall promoter: David Horne and World of Grip

Contest promoters:
David Horne – Stafford, England
If I have moved from Stafford, then the event will be relocated to a new venue.
Ivan Beritashvili - Moscow, Russia
Juha Harju - Kirkkonummi, Finland
Andrew Pantke & Dave Thornton – Three Rivers, Michigan, USA
Jarrod Riordan – Keilor East, Nr Melbourne, Australia
Jedd Johnson - Wyalusing, PA, USA

Jouni Mahonen - Iisalmi, Finland

Entrance fee: £20 GBP ($32 dollars, 25 euro)

Trophies: There will be medals for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each class

In addition, I had a question about the Stub hold. It says for time, so is that a prescribed weight for all competitors? Or do you choose a weight, then your total score comes from a combination of weight and time?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to (hopefully) attending this contest and meeting some other great athletes.

Great! Thanks for the info. Hopefully this topic will continue to be useful, and not just end with 1 questions.

I misread the title as like "Hey, I didn't make the podium, but I have like the 5th strongest hands."

[Lucasraymond]

Why is there no 93k class?

[Eric Roussin]

David Horne typically switches up the weight classes from year to year for this event. i suspect this is done so that the same classes don't go unrepresented every year.

[Lucasraymond]

If there is that many locations then there should be a fairly good representation for every weight class....just my opinion but maybe there is a heavy number some classes versus others. Not a biggie just curious is all!

[Jedd Johnson]

It's a good point...

The 93k & 105k classes are quickly becoming the most competitive classes. By not having one of them, you can really have a profound effect on lots of lifters' performances.

Totally agree with Luke and Jedd, all weight classes should always be included. It will always help promote the sport with the wide variety of classes.

I assume the problem is if there are too few competitors, everyone could be competing alone in their weight class.

I think event results should be sorted by their actual weight class regardless of how the competition was run, not sure if this is already how it works or not, just a thought.

[mobsterone]

That has occurred in the IAWA competitions.

[Jedd Johnson]

Historically, not all the weight classes are held in this event. I believe David just picks one as a divider, but I don't remember what the selection process is.

Even though I was slow to react to this, I am also very happy to see him active!!!

I still have a couple of his old videos on my computer from back in the days, three vids of tim tolberts package for instance, and some other stuff... damn did he bend some impressive pieces of steel!!!
