I literally only remember ONE strong man competitor...Magnus Ver Magnusson. He's Icelandic and he won pretty much every year when i was watching them as a kid. 1991 then he won 3 in a row from 94-96. One dude accounts for almost half of their country's wins.
Sounds silly. But I started guessing the countries, from a previous quiz, which had the most heavy metal bands. Got 'em all. Wonder if there is some correlation?
Completely guessed except for Iceland because of that VICE video like 10 years ago. I was surprised Russia wasn’t on there. My first technique was guessing all the places it’s too cold to do anything else…
Powerlifting in the culture is a big factor. I think people from other places (not all) could compete if they had similar societal advantages and made the choice to pursue it.
not suprised tho
