"With support from Bio Tech USA - FITHOPLY and IronMind®, the Latvian and Lithuanian athletes can compete for a rank of the strongest grip and try to beat Mark Felix's record in this discipline," said Vlad.

Here is the starting field for the first stage of the Open Latvian Rolling Thunder™ Championships:

Rolands Gulbis (Latvia)
Rolands Fersters (Latvia)
Ingus Feldmanis (Latvia)
Antabas Abrutis (Lithuania)
