Mike Zolkiewicz: 18’ 10” World Record in the 56

Mike Zolkiewicz used this weekend’s Rhode Island Highland Games as the platform to launch the 56-lb. weight for height to, well, new heights as he broke his own world record with a mighty throw of 18’ 10” and both Bill “Doc Rock” Crawford and Dave “Mr. Natural” Barron made sure that IronMind heard the good news of Zolkie’s latest heavenly throw.

“Great day of throwing and an all-time world record in the WOB [weight over the bar]!”  Bill “Doc Rock” Crawford said.
