Now in its fourth season, SCL was launched by Ilkka Kinnunen and Marcel Mostert, both of who began organizing strongman contests in 1993 and between them have been involved in organizing close to 1,000 strongman competitions. 

But it’s not just about quantity and numbers - its also about quality, as SCL competitions feature the top names on the professional strongman circuit, are held in a wide range of countries and might be set anything from metropolitan expos to rugged outdoor settings, in weather that might be perfect, freezing cold or blazing hot.

No wonder Marcel Mostert can say, “After three years, SCL has proven that we're a consistent, strong and professional organization, ready to step into the fourth year with even bigger goals.  That's why we are so proud that we can launches this calendar with much confidence.”

Here it is officially, the 2011 SCL calendar:

In addition, Mostert told IronMind that, "105-kg championships, team contests and specials may be added later on this list."
