Hjalti Arnason, who is organizing the 2010 Jon Pall Sigmarsson Classic, a strongman contest that will be featured in the inaugural Icelandic Fitness and Health Expo in November, has given IronMind® the official list of competitors and events.


Benedikt Magnusson, known as the man who can deadlift anything that’s not nailed to the floor and just about anything that is, will be competing at the upcoming Jon Pall Sigmarsson Classic.  Benedikt Magnusson won the 85-kg Circus Dumbbell lift at the recent Iceland’s Strongest Man contest.  IronMind® | Photo courtesy of Hjalti Arnason.
