It's a shame we never got to see more battles between Mariusz and Zydrunas between 2005 and 2009. 2005 WSM had many events which would have suited Big Z like Log Lift, Squat, and Fingals Fingers, while IFSA 2005 had good events for Mariusz like Husafel Stone carry, Farmers Walk, Conan's Circle and many others.
Those times may be the most colorfull times of Strongman competitions. It will never come back. Now the meta is not strongman, olympic lifting, wrestling or athletism. It is only random internet people, wandering and posing at gyms; video shooting , yelling and fighting eachother, consist of extreme dose of steroids and chemicals.
Really, I think the only one I disagree with a bit would be 2001. I'd swap Svend and Magnus, but that's really just on Magnus being more consistent overall. The Sweden grand prix finals was also as heavy as WSM that year, if not heavier, and he won it handily. Still, though, fair shouts all around!
