Ross has said that, in relation to competing with other recognised events, such as Britain s Strongest Man , when there is competition, it is good for everyone competition in strongman creates an opportunity for the athletes, the fans and the sponsors to end up with a better product, and the reality is a free market situation anyway. ref name Polish http www.sfd.pl News t228809.html Polish Strength Forum Sportowe Forum Dyskusyjne ref Big, strong men are like bears.
