“We will have a bit smaller field than normal,” Marcel Mostert told IronMind today, “because some of the top athletes are preparing for the World’s Strongest Man 2014, a week later. Still, it will be an excellent show for sure on this beautiful island, where we had 15.000 spectators in 2012 during the SCL Finals there.
“In a field with Krzysztof Radzikowski, Ervin Katona, Gregor Stegnar, Oyvind Rein (from Norway), Didzis Zarins, Etienne Smit , Lauri Nami, Gerald Gschiel (from Austria) and a few local Martinique athletes, it will still be a hard fight to crown the champion of the first stage from the MHP Strongman Champions League. Didzis Zarins is replacing Dainis Zageris from Latvia, because Dainis ripped off his bicep last week.
