Unofficially, here are the winners of the Truck Pull at the World’s Strongest Man (WSM) qualifiers today.

Group 1: Derek Poundstone
Group 2: Brian Shaw
Group 3: Phil Pfister
Group 4: Laurence Shahlei
Group 5: Terry Hollands

With the first day of WSM qualifiers completed, there were no big surprises and “things went pretty much as expected,” a well-qualified observer told IronMind. 

Although it’s a bit early to say for sure, there was a sense today that one of the key matchups in the 2009 World’s Strongest Man contest has already come to light and it pits Brian Shaw against Zydrunas Savickas.

The action resumes tomorrow, with Squat, Fingal’s Fingers and the Car Walk.

For hardcore World’s Strongest Man fans, you can follow the highlights each day on the official World's Strongest Man website as well as on the IronMind News and the IronMind Twitter account.
