We had the opportunity to attend the AZALEA FESTIVAL STRONGMAN CHALLENGE held in Norfolk, Virginia last week. For you strongman fans, we will try to report to you the results of the contest. We had never been to the Norfolk area before and we were very impressed. The contest was held downtown by the waterfront. It was beautiful. Magnus Ver Magnusson was there and was scheduled to be one of the contestants but had to withdraw due to knee surgery. Other contestants included Phil Pfister, Gary Mitchell, John Perry, Walter Gogola, Willy Amos, Shawn Semones, and Scott O'Connor. The contest consisted of the Keg Toss For Height, Log Lift, Stone Load, Farmers Walk and Truck Pull. Phil Pfister took first place by winning the Stone Load, Farmers Walk and Truck Pull. Johnny Perry took second by winning the Log Lift and placing high in the other events. Gary Mitchell finished third. Congratulations to James Greene and company for putting on a top notch Strongman competition! Can't wait to attend next years contest. |
