Virtanen's WSM Gold Figure For Sale

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2001

When Janne Virtanen won the 2000 World's Strongest Man competition, part of his prize was a gold figure of a strongman lifting a stone.

The figure is about 10 cm (four inches) high, and both the strongman and the globe-like stone he is lifting have very good detail; it's made from 18 karat gold and weighs about 100 grams, and it's designed to be worn on a chain. Virtanen will consider offers if someone is interested in buying it, with a minimum bid of US$1000.00 required.
