They came, they struggled and those who reigned supreme and made it to the finals of WSM 2005 will square off in two events tomorrow: Fingal Fingers and the Pillars of Hercules. On Wednesday, it's the Fridge Carry and the Overhead Log Lift for reps. Thursday's events are the Ding Carry (new for this year) and the Squat for reps, and on Friday, for the grand finale, it's the Atlas Stones.

Stay tuned.
