A change was announced today in the medley event at this year's Beauty & the Beast World Strongman Challenge. The farmer's walk that originally had been scheduled as part of the medley will be replaced by a 2000-pound wheelbarrow, which will be pushed for time, said Odd Haugen. Haugen, who turned 51 last month, was coming off a huge win at this weekend's Hawaii's Strongest Man competition, where he won six out of eight events and easily defended his title.
