“Yesterday was fantastic,” David Horne reported to IronMind®.  “Knackered now though!  59 competitors worldwide for this leg, so we're considering it a success so far.”

This meet was run as the digital counterpart to the postal meets that were common in the 20th century, with the same competition format used in multiple locations in Europe and the United States yesterday.  The events were the two-hand pinch, the wrist developer and the Vulcan Gripper.

Here are the official places and points for the top ten:

1. David Horne 6.0
2. Aaron Corcorran 11.5
3. Steve Gardener 12.5
4. Nick McKinless 13.0
5. David Thornton 17.0
6. Jedd Johnson 26.0
7. Brent Barbe 29.0
8. Jim Wylie 31.0
9. Chris Rice 33.5
10. Adam Glass 36.0

Elizabeth Horne won the women's competition (3 points); Mary Ann McKeague was second (6 points) and Sherrie Wheeler was third (10 points).
