World’s Strongest Man Super Series 2008
21 June 2008
The World’s Strongest Man Super Series is proud to announce that the second tour stop of the 2008 tour will be staged in the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden
The Strongman Super Series, now known as the World’s Strongest Man Super Series, is a sequence of grand prix events in the sport of strength athletics. It was introduced in 2001 in response to concerns that, unlike other individual sports such as golf or tennis, there was no recognized international “tour” in strength athletics. The Strongman Super Series ensures that there are a number of high-profile, professionally run contests during the year, with competitors’ placings being used to decide the overall Super Series Champion.
Typically, ten to twelve athletes take part in each GP, comprising the top six in the international rankings and at least four qualifiers or wildcard entries. The winner of each grand prix receives ten series points, the second placed, nine, and so on. The highest scoring competitor at the end of the series is named World Champion.
The top 4 athletes from each competition receive an automatic invitation to World’s Strongest Man Super Series.
