"For 37 years, the World's Strongest Man has been one of the best known sports properties on the air,” said IMG’s Barry Frank, who created World’s Strongest Man in 1977, and tonight you can follow the finals of the 2014 contest.

“This one in particular you don't want to miss.  You've got to see these enormous men performing unbelievable acts of strength.

“A 90-minute version of the Final airs tonight on CBS Sports Network at 9:30 pm Eastern and an hour version can be seen on CBS on Saturday, August 16, at 2 pm Eastern,” said Frank.

Transcending its success as a TV show, Frank’s creation helped spawn strongman as a sport unto itself and as a form of physical training.
