We are working on getting national results from before we had a website recorded on the website in an effort to preserve a more complete history. This one that I am posting here is from 1998. They are all transcribed from the “Strength Journal” by Bill Clark. This was an idea of Frank Ciavattone’s and was presented at the national meeting in 2022. Enjoy a little piece of history:

UPDATES for the OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Weigh-ins will now begin at 8 am – 9:30 am with lifting beginning at 10 am. The meet has 20 plus lifters so far and therefore the extra weigh in time.
We now have access to 40 chairs for the meet. This should easily provide a seat for you and your guests that come with you to the competition. For an even more comfortable seat, please feel free to bring your own fold out chair with you.
In closing, I am super excited to meet and greet everyone at the 2023 OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!
