Brian Shaw, the former Worlds Strongest Man champion from 2011 suffered an Injury at the 2012 Arnold Strongman Classic which he struggled with at last years WSM and this years ASC. However, the prolific mountain of a man dominated nearly every aspect of qualifying and continued that into finals. Shaw bested last years WSM winner Zydrunas Savickas who took 2nd and the Icelandic Giant Thor Bjornsson in 3rd. Rounding out the top five were Americans Mike Jenkins who suffered from severe food poisoning duringqualifying and fellow Shaw training partner, Mike Burke.
All three of the top five Americans along with Robert Oberst who finished his rookie performance in the bottom half of this years WSM will all be in Las Vegas foir the wildly popular Americas Strongest Man, a title not held by Shaw, Jenkins nor Oberst. Mike Burke however is the returning champion and will undoubtedly be rested and prepared to show the Americans what it takes to be Americas best.
Our congratulations to Brian Shaw for yet another dominating performance.
