This is the contest where Dave Ostlund beat Mariusz Pudzianowski in the final moments and in another big moment for a fellow Minnesotan, Karl Gillingham qualified for the 2007 World's Strongest Man contest as well. Sadly, this was Jesse Marunde's last contest, but take a deep breath and try to see this as a celebration of something he loved doing.

The World's Strongest Man Super Series is the gateway to the World's Strongest Man contest and what better place to stage a big time strongman contest than at Muscle Beach, in Venice, California. Please check local listings for the exact time in your area.
