End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | SteBennett said: In which time pudz won, so if you want to look at it like that then pudz was the greater. But the argument is between pudz back then to strongman today. Which you can't judge because pudz isn't still around They've competed in 4 WSM against each other...Pudz finished ahead twice and Z finished ahead twice. | ||

 Member 5560, 769 posts | WILLSAN said: as far as I remember it most who followed the sport closely felt that the ifsa championship was a much stronger lineup than wsm. these same discussions came up back then though as the ifsa shows werent as prominent as wsm. the difference was biggest in 2005, after the split, in particular. wsm top 10 2005 1 Mariusz Pudzianowski 2 Jesse Marunde 3 Dominic Filiou 4 Jarek Dymek 5 Janne Virtanen 6 Tarmo Mitt 6 Ralf Ber 8 Don Pope 9 Dave Ostlund 10 Elbrus Nigmatullin ifsa top 10 2005 1. Zydrunas Savickas Lithuania 103 2. Vasyl Virastyuk Ukraine 96 3. Mikhail Koklyaev Russia 93.5 4. Andrus Murumets Estonia 86 5. Raimonds Bergmanis Latvia 84.5 6. Phil Pfister United States 82.5 7. Vidas Blekaitis Lithuania 81.5 8. Magnus Samuelsson Sweden 69 9. Robert Szczepanski Poland 67 10. Travis Ortmayer United States 64.5 how many of the wsm athletes couldve cracked the ifsa top 10 that year? not many in my opinion. its a damn shame guys like murumets, blekaitis and szczepanski never really got the recognition that they deserved. but yeah, unless you knew about the split and got to see the ifsa shows on eurosport pudz would seem unbeatable. IFSA was had undoubtedly a stronger field that WSM. However it's not quite as strong as it looks on paper in 2005. Remember a lot of those athletes were up and coming or in decline - Koklyaev had never competed at that level before neither had Szczepanski. Bergmanis was on the decline and Pfister had not made a WSM final in 4 years. Blekaitus had come quite away short in his heat at WSM in 2003. I actually think if I was pick the top 10 as they were in 2005 then it would probably actually be about 5 from each side. I would agree though that the bottom few in WSM were not as good as the bottom few in IFSA. | ||

He also beat a very good poundstone later on. I'm not saying he's the strongest guy ever, but I am saying he was a great strongman! | ||

Terry and Shaw definitely got much better, but they were still great athletes then. | ||

Doesn't like tall people very much. Member 5708, 391 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 275730.0 kgs @ 137.5kgs UnEq | Slightly off topic, but does anyone else remember the size and shape of Dominic filou? Not the best strongman admittedly but he looked the part. | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | If I recall correctly Filou suffered from some kind of panic disorder - I always felt that he was likely a much better strongman than we ever actually consistently saw. | ||

 Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25563 posts Administrator | did they not have some sort of 'wildcard' places for the final last year or am I thinking of a local comp run by the general or some such legend ?? | ||
