IronMind® has just received confirmation that Polish strongman stars Mariusz Pudzianowski and Jarek Dymek will compete in the 2005 World's Strongest Man Super Series.
Further, WSM Super Series spokeman Colin Bryce has reiterated that WCE, which own the Super Series rights, and TWI, which owns the World's Strongest Man rights, are working together - despite repeated announcements explaining this alliance, there has been some confusion in the strongman community about this point.
Emphasizing this alliance, Bryce's statement explained, "In 2005, WCE and TWI have decided to join forces. The World's Strongest Man Super Series (formerly the Super Series) will now award a WSM Super Series Championship title, based on the overall Grand Prix results and will be the official qualifier to The World's Strongest Man competition."
Also included in this announcement was the statement that there would be "four or five Grand Prix Events to be staged between April and August," that the minimum prize money for each of these events is US$25,000 and that the expenses (travel, hotel, food) would be covered for "the invited athletes."
