OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE

By Clint Poore

Good morning, good afternoon, good day and good night to you!

      We are 4 weeks away from the 2023 OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and time for an update!

      The 2023 Old Time Strongman Worlds is off to a smoking hot start! We have a current roster, not final roster, of 22 competitors so far!!! The current roster is listed below, if for any reason I missed and did not include someone please let me know ASAP! If you know anyone else interested in competing, let me know and bring them on to the meet!

      WE HAVE A NEW LOCATION! The size of the meet has simply outgrown BUFFVILLE GYM and we are hosting the meet at a 16,000 square foot warehouse just 2 miles from BUFFVILLE GYM! (see photo)

The new address is  2608 North Highway 127 Business in Albany, Kentucky. Located right beside of Hunter’s BBQ. It’s a warehouse building that I own and should be a great location for future USAWA National & IAWA World Championship meets! 2025 Bids are forthcoming and hopeful to be accepted! There will plenty of room to accommodate everyone and 2 bathrooms available all the time. We will have up to 5 referees present at the meet and WORLD RECORDS can be set! 

      All the set up pieces, banners, smoke machine and sound system should be in this week and ready to be assembled!  It will be a great chance to promote the USAWA online with your TikTok, Instagram or Facebook account with the spectacular videos from the meet.

      Please make sure you have a current USAWA MEMBERSHIP. You cannot compete in this meet without a USAWA membership and it can be purchased by clicking on the link ……….

      For anyone wanting to set USAWA National Records or IAWA World Records, we will move to BUFFVILLE GYM following the conclusion of the OTSM World Championship. To make sure the Record Day portion goes smoothly, please let me know what national or world records you would like to set or break during the Record Day following the meet, To be fair, there will simply be too many people setting records to look them up the day of the meet, so please have a list of records with you and send me your list before the meet so we can have the proper bars and equipment ready for your awesome records!

You can email your Record Day attempts to me at   clintpoore@hotmail.com

      Also, please bring a portable fold out chair with you. We will have a few chairs available but they will be for referees, spotters, loaders, scores table and staff. If you want a comfortable place to sit, please bring a personal fold-out camping chair with you. 

      With all that said…….. WE ARE EXCITED to have you here in Albany, Kentucky for the 2023 Old Time Strongman World Championships! The team is putting in a spectacular effort to make this an event &meet you will never forget! We look forward to having you with us and look for more updates weekly as we get closer to the competition!  Please feel free to email, call or text me with any questions at 606-688-2600.
