Highland Games Shoot-out: Douglas Edmunds Pitches Dan McKim vs. Gregor Edmunds

Calling his son Gregor “the man to beat” while also recognizing the ascendance of Daniel McKim, Dr. Douglas Edmunds would like to see a matchup featuring these two Highland Games stalwarts.

Affectionately known as "The Godfather of Strongman," Douglas Edmunds has been focusing on developing his Highlander concept of late, but most recently he’s returned to his roots in the traditional Highland Games heavy events.  IronMind® | Photo courtesy of Linda Edmunds.

The younger Edmunds is coming off an impressive win at Braemar and McKim did likewise in Pleasanton, so the idea of bringing them together on one field is appealing.  The senior Edmunds, no feeble heavy in his younger days, wouldn’t say exactly what he has in mind, but he did allow, “We’ve got big plans.”
