Severn Valley Strongman 2008

Although I was unable to make the competition Mike Betty promoted another great competition at the Severn Valley Strongman competition on Saturday. This is fast becoming one of the best amateur competitions in the Uk and with over 30 competitors it is probably the most popular event on the calendar.

At just 18, Harry Shahlaei won his first competition in style, beating out tough competition from all over the country. Harry follows in his older brother's footsteps by winning in the sport of strongman.
