The IFSA World's Strongest Nation contest concluded today with Lithuania winning handily over Ukraine, to claim the US$12,000 first-place prize. In the battle for third place, the USA won over Russia, with the USA team winning four of the first five events today.

Going into their fourth day of competition today, the finalists had to face seven events, but they were strongly supported by a crowd of over 3,000 spectators cheering them on. IFSA-USA president Dione Wessels said the contest "was more than awesome," and she had high praise for the performance of the American team of Jon Andersen, Van Hatfield, Josh Thigpen and Travis Ortmayer.
